Data Storage and Security

WriteFreely, the software that powers this site, is built to enforce your right to privacy by default. It retains as little data about you as possible, not even requiring an email address to sign up.

If you do provide your email address, it is stored encrypted in our database. We salt and hash your account's password.

We store log files containing data about what happens on our servers. We also use cookies to keep you logged in to your account.

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. However, no security system is perfect, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.

Federation

This site participates in the fediverse, meaning your public blog posts can be followed and shared by users on other federated platforms (such as Mastodon). When you publish public content, it may be distributed to other servers in the federation.
