What we ask, keep, and show
Privacy
Lightf1ow is built to need almost nothing from you. The short version: no account, no email, no tracking. The longer
version is three plain layers.
What we ask for
- Nothing that identifies you. No account, no login, no email address. The form never asks who you are.
- Only the report itself — what you witnessed, and optionally where and roughly when.
What we store
- Only what you write — and before it is stored, private information about other people (names of private
individuals, phone numbers, addresses, emails) is stripped out. The account stays; the identifying detail is removed.
- An anonymous, rotated token derived from a salted hash — never your raw IP address. It exists only so the form can't be
flooded, and it is rotated so it can't be used to follow you.
- No cookies for tracking, no analytics that profile you, no third-party trackers.
What we show
- Only what a human editor has released — nothing you submit appears publicly on its own.
- Locations are generalized before they are shown ("in my bedroom" becomes no pin; a town becomes an approximate area).
You can never be found on the map through your own report.
- You can ask us to remove your report at any time, and we will.
We record that something was reported, and how far it traces — never who you are.
