Privacy Policy for Silent Confess

Last Updated: April 15, 2025

Thank you for choosing Silent Confess. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our anonymous confession platform. Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date of this Privacy Policy. You are encouraged to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed of updates.

Client-Side Storage Model

Silent Confess operates on a client-side storage model, which means:

• Local Storage: All your posts, confessions, and content are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage on your device.
• No Server Storage: We do not transmit or store your content on our servers.
• Device-Specific: Your posts are only visible on the device they were created on, unless you explicitly share a post link.

This approach maximizes your privacy as your content remains under your control at all times.

Information We Collect

Personal Data

We collect minimal personal data. Specifically:

• We do not require you to create an account or provide any identifying information.
• Any nickname you choose to use is optional and stored only on your device.
• We generate a random user ID that is stored in your browser's local storage, which helps distinguish between posts in the local storage database.

Usage Data

We may collect standard usage information automatically when you visit our site, such as:

• Your browser type and version
• The pages of our site that you visit
• The time and date of your visit
• Basic device information needed for proper display and functionality

This information is collected anonymously and is used solely for site improvement and troubleshooting purposes.

Use of Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to:

• Store posts you create in Silent Confess
• Remember your display preferences (such as dark/light mode)
• Track storage usage statistics locally
• Maintain any drafts of posts you are working on

You can clear this data at any time by:

• Using the "Clear All Posts" button in the Data Management section (if visible)
• Clearing your browser's local storage through your browser settings

Data Security

We take data security seriously and implement the following measures:

• HTML content in posts is escaped to prevent XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks
• We use HTTPS for all connections to our site
• Since data is stored locally, it's protected by your device's security mechanisms

However, please be aware that no method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Third-Party Services

Our site may use third-party services that collect information, such as:

• Google Analytics: For anonymous website usage statistics
• Google AdSense: For displaying advertisements

These third-party services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before interacting with these services on our site.

Children's Privacy

Silent Confess is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take necessary actions.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

• The right to access any personal information we have about you
• The right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal information
• The right to request that we delete your personal information
• The right to data portability

Since Silent Confess primarily stores data locally on your device, most of these rights can be exercised directly by you through your browser settings or the application interface.
