Who we are

“Carbon Confessions” (“we”, “us”) provides this website and related services. If you have questions, contact us via the Contact page.

Data we collect

  • Content you submit: confessions you write, reactions you give, and any messages you send via the Contact page.
  • Account data (optional): if you choose to sign in later, we may store your email address for authentication and syncing.
  • Technical data: basic log information such as IP address, browser/device information, and timestamps to keep the service secure, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot issues.
  • Anonymous identifiers: we may use a random device identifier to rate-limit spam and abuse.

What we do not require

  • Your real name
  • Your precise location
  • Your contacts, photos, or microphone

Why we use your data

  • To provide the service and show your confessions and responses
  • To keep the public feed safe through moderation, abuse prevention, and reporting
  • To maintain security and reliability and investigate misuse

Legal bases (GDPR)

  • Performance of a contract: to provide the features you request.
  • Legitimate interests: to secure the service, prevent abuse, and keep the community safe.
  • Consent: for any non-essential cookies or analytics if enabled in the future.

Public feed

If you choose to publish a confession, it may appear publicly after moderation. Public posts are visible to anyone with access to the site. Do not include personal information in anything you publish.

AI features

We may use AI to generate responses and assist with moderation. AI output can be wrong, incomplete, or inappropriate and should not be treated as professional advice.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with service providers that help us run the site, such as hosting, database, and email providers, only for the purposes described above.

Retention

  • Private entries: retained until deleted by you or until account deletion.
  • Public posts: retained as needed to operate the feed and maintain safety records.
  • Security logs: kept for a limited period to protect the service and investigate abuse.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, or object to certain uses of your data. Contact us if you want help with that.

Cookies

We aim to keep cookies minimal. If we enable non-essential analytics or similar tools, we will request consent where required.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Changes

We may update this policy as the product evolves. The latest version will always appear on this page.
