Privacy Policy

Scope

This policy covers realsloppy.news, its public pages, and any authenticated editorial tools operated under this name. It describes current practices and identifies future features that require an update before launch. The site does not sell personal information.

Information collected

When you read the site, hosting and security systems may receive a request timestamp, requested route, response status, user agent, and a truncated or protected network identifier. We may receive information you choose to provide through a contact or editorial workflow, such as an email address, display name, message, or submission.

We do not ask readers for passwords, payment card numbers, precise location, or sensitive personal information to read public stories. Authentication and audit events may be recorded when protected tools are enabled.

How we use and share information

We use information to deliver pages, maintain availability, prevent abuse, diagnose failures, enforce authorization, keep security records, respond to requests, and manage editorial submissions. We may share limited information with hosting, email, monitoring, security, or content-delivery providers that perform those services for us.

We may disclose information when required by law, to protect the service or another person, or during a change in the operator of the site. We do not use reader data for targeted advertising or sell it to data brokers.

Storage and retention

Editorial data is stored in a SQLite database. Logs, sessions, security records, and future account data are kept only as long as needed for operation, security investigations, legal obligations, or documented editorial accountability. Temporary cache data may be removed at any time. Retention periods may differ by data type and provider.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security. Report suspected exposure promptly through the published contact channel.

Your choices and rights

Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity verification, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information that we control. We may retain information where necessary for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or a legitimate audit record.

You may block cookies through your browser. Doing so can affect authentication, antiforgery protection, or other requested features. See the Cookie Notice for details.

Contact and policy changes

Send privacy questions through the published realsloppy.news contact channel. Do not include passwords, one-time codes, access tokens, confidential drafts, or exploit details. We may revise this policy when practices, vendors, law, or site features change; the effective date above identifies the current version.
