Data Deletion Process

You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time via the account settings or by emailing [email protected].

  • Deletion requests must be authenticated (to prevent impersonation).
  • You may request:
    • Full account deletion (alias, email hash)
    • Content deletion (posts, projects, comments)
    • Alias reset (retain activity, wipe identifiable handle)

2. Retention Exceptions

Certain data may be retained temporarily or indefinitely to:

  • Satisfy legal obligations (e.g., court orders, audits)
  • Maintain moderation or project integrity (e.g., logs tied to civic decisions)
  • Support anonymized, aggregated analytics

All retained data will be decoupled from identifying account metadata wherever possible.

3. Review and Confirmation

  • You will receive confirmation of deletion once completed.
  • Partial deletions will include a summary of what was retained and why.
