Privacy, in plain words

If you just read the site

Nothing. There are no advertising cookies, no analytics scripts, no social buttons that phone home. The host keeps ordinary server logs for a short time. That's it.

Cookies

None, which is why there is no banner asking you about them. If you sign in, your browser keeps the sign-in token in its own local storage so you stay signed in between visits. Signing out clears it, and so does clearing your browser data.

If you sign in to rate a phone or suggest one

Signing in is a six-digit code sent to your email. No password. Your address is kept so I can send the code and so you can edit or delete what you posted. It is never shared or sold.

What gets stored:

• Your email address, and a display name if you choose to add one.
• The ratings and reviews you write, and which phone each one is for.
• Any phone you suggest, with the details you typed in.
• A report, if you flag someone else's review.
• Timestamps for the above, so that the spam limits work.

Reviews show your display name, or "A club member" if you didn't set one. Your email is never shown to anyone.

Who holds it

The database is with a US host, which also sends the sign-in emails.

Deleting it

Your account page has a button that deletes your account and everything you've posted, immediately and for good. If you'd rather I do it, email hello@slowerliving.club from the address you signed in with.

If you live in the EU or the UK, the GDPR gives you the right to a copy of what is stored, to a correction, and to deletion. They come through the same button and the same email address as for everyone else.

Moderation

I read the first couple of reviews from a new member before they show. Reviews with links, or words a person wouldn't say to a stranger, are held for reading too. I don't edit reviews; I approve them, hold them, or decline them.

Questions

Email or paper works: hello@slowerliving.club
