Privacy, without evasions.

Effective 14 July 2026.

Report uploads

A CSV submitted to the free report is written to a temporary file only long enough for the parser to read it, then deleted. We do not retain the uploaded rows. We retain aggregate counts such as pages processed, pages classified as decaying, and pages skipped.

Generated briefs

For qualifying decay alerts, the page identifier and alert evidence may be sent to Anthropic to generate a refresh brief. Do not upload data you are not authorized to process.

Contact and pilot data

When you submit a founding or pilot form, we store your email, selected plan, optional site URL, and timestamps. We use it to respond about WorldGoneFlat. We do not sell it.

IP addresses and logs

The application uses a client IP transiently for rate limiting but does not write it to the report database. Infrastructure access logs may exist for security and operations under the VPS log-retention policy.

Analytics and cookies

The public site has no behavioral analytics, advertising pixels, or consent-requiring tracking cookies.

Requests

To request access, correction, or deletion of contact data, reply to the email through which WorldGoneFlat contacted you. A dedicated privacy address will be published before account launch.
