The fine print, made clear
Privacy policy
Effective July 24, 2026
At hndsyt, we believe privacy should be easy to understand, not hidden behind pages of legal jargon.
What we collect
When you create an account, we may collect:
- Your name
- Email address
- Profile photo, if provided by your sign-in provider
- Authentication information needed to keep your account secure
When you use hndsyt, we also store:
- Stories, lessons, comments, and reactions you choose to share
- Basic account preferences
- Technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, and activity logs to help keep the platform secure and reliable
Public and anonymous posts
Stories, comments, and reactions you publish are visible to other users based on your privacy settings.
If you choose to post anonymously, your name and profile will not be shown publicly. However, your post is still linked to your account internally so we can operate the platform, investigate abuse, and comply with legal obligations. Anonymous means anonymous to the community, not to hndsyt.
How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Create and manage your account
- Authenticate your sign-in
- Publish and manage the content you choose to share
- Personalise your experience
- Prevent spam, fraud, and abuse
- Maintain the security and reliability of hndsyt
- Improve our platform and develop new features
- Comply with legal obligations where required
We do not sell your personal information.
How your data is stored
Your information is stored using trusted cloud infrastructure and service providers that help us operate hndsyt securely. We take reasonable measures to protect your data, although no online service can guarantee absolute security.
Your choices
You can:
- Edit or delete your own stories and comments
- Update your profile information
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, subject to legal and operational requirements
To make a privacy request, contact contact@hndsyt.com.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll update the effective date and, where appropriate, notify you through hndsyt.
