Privacy notice

Who we are

The operator of unset.sh decides why this notice's personal information is used. The operator's legal name is not in this repository. Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector, section 3.1, says an enterprise publishes the title and contact information of the person in charge of protecting personal information. A lawyer has not confirmed how that applies here. That person is Privacy Officer, at contact@staging.unset.sh. Who holds the role is kept in the operator's own records, not on this page.

What we hold

We hold your account DID, session records, drafts, invites, sealed sign-in tokens and onboarding timestamps. We never hold your password. You type a password only on the sign-in server, staging.unset.ac.

Addresses and browsers

We do not store IP addresses or browser details. From Phase 5, the connection data of each upload is kept, encrypted so that we cannot read it, for at most a few minutes while the check runs. It is destroyed at once when the check is clear, and kept with a legal hold only when the upload matches known abuse material. Rate limiting uses a short-lived in-memory hash of the address. That hash is never written down.

Who else receives it

The Canadian Centre for Child Protection receives fingerprints only, never the photo or video. The hosting provider is named in Phase 5. When posting opens, automated review of posts and comments you submit for publication runs on our own servers and sends nothing to another company.

How long we keep it

An unpublished profile draft, its text, sections and draft images, is deleted whole 30 days after your last edit. Unattached draft images expire after 30 days. Draft images are part of your export.
