What we don't do

- We don't publish submitters' identities.

Service providers
We use Supabase (database and sign-in), Vercel (hosting), Resend (email delivery) and Anthropic (AI research assistance, which receives public source material, not visitor data). Advertising partners, if used, will be listed here with their cookie practices before they are enabled.
Your choices
