- IP Addresses: We collect your IP address when you submit a confession or comment. This is used solely for spam prevention and abuse mitigation.
- Device Fingerprints: We use browser fingerprinting technology to generate a unique identifier for your device. This helps us prevent spam without requiring you to create an account.
- Optional Location Data: If you choose to provide your state/location when posting a confession, we store this information.
- Confession Content: The text content you submit as confessions or comments.
Note: We do NOT collect:
- Email addresses
- Names or personal identifiers
- Financial information
- Precise geolocation data
- Browsing history beyond our site
3. How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used exclusively for:

- View Counting: To track how many times a confession has been viewed.
- Site Functionality: To enable features like replying to confessions.
4. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to outside parties. Your IP address and fingerprint data are used internally only.
We may disclose information in the following limited circumstances:
- Legal Requirements: To comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
- Protection of Rights: To protect the rights, safety, or property of our users or the public.
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage, and processing practices and security measures.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
6. Data Retention
We retain IP addresses and device fingerprints associated with submissions for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Our service is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under the relevant age without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.
9. Embedded Content and External Links
When our confessions are embedded in other websites or platforms, those external services may collect data about you according to their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites that embed or link to our content.
