Privacy

When you only read

Our servers keep standard request logs (IP address, browser, page) for security and to fix errors, for a limited time.

No analytics tools are switched on at the moment.

Small cookies remember your display mode and your cookie choice.

When you have an account

We store your email, name, handle and a hash of your password (never the password itself), your sessions (device and IP, so you can sign out other devices), and what you do on the site: posts, comments, votes, bookmarks and reports. Your email is visible only to you and to OpenBeat staff.

You can change your name, handle and password in Settings. To delete your account or get a copy of your data, write to us through Share feedback.

Links to other sites

Share buttons and “Summarize with AI” are plain links: nothing loads from those services until you click, and then their own privacy rules apply. Video players load from youtube-nocookie.com only when a post has a video.
