Privacy

If you only read

You can read everything on Not Bliss without an account, and we keep nothing that identifies you when you do.

If you make an account

We keep:

• Your email address and password. The password is stored scrambled; nobody here can read it. Your email is never shown to other members.
• Your profile: your name, username and bio. Your profile is private until you choose to make it public.
• What you post: threads, comments, reposts and any comment you add to a repost. Public posts are visible to everyone, with your name.
• What you do: the threads you like, dislike, bookmark and open, who you follow, and your quiz results. We use these to build your Main Feed. Other members can see what you liked and reposted only if your profile is public; your bookmarks, dislikes, reading history and quiz results are never shown to anyone.
• Your token balance and a record of tokens added and spent.
• Reports you file. Moderators see them; the person you reported does not learn who reported them.

The AI features

• Chats with the built-in AI are saved to your account so you can come back to them. They are private. You can delete any chat, which removes it for good.
• Quick questions asked in the Ask window on a thread are not saved.
• A chat you paste or link in to make a post is used to write your draft and is not kept. The draft maker is told to leave out personal details, but it can miss things, so read your draft before posting.
• Fact-checks are public. If anyone has your thread or comment checked, the result is shown on it. We do not show who asked for the check.

To run these features, the text involved (your message, the thread you are reading, the post being checked) is sent to the AI companies whose models we use. Do not put anything in a chat that you would not want processed by an outside service.

Who else handles your information

• Our database and sign-in provider (Supabase) stores your account and everything listed above.
• Our AI provider (OpenRouter, which passes requests to the companies that make the AI models) receives the text needed for AI features, and web searches made on your behalf.
• Our hosting company runs the site and, like any host, sees your internet address when you visit.
• Wikimedia serves the pictures on threads, and a mapping service serves the maps. Your browser fetches these directly, so those services see your internet address when a page with a picture or map loads.
• Our email service sends sign-up and password emails to your address.
• Our payment company, once purchases open, will handle your card. We will never see or store your card number.

We do not sell your information, and we do not show adverts.

Cookies

We use a few small files in your browser, all of them our own: one that keeps you signed in, one that remembers the fields you picked, and one random number that lets us count a visitor’s views once without knowing who they are. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

Your choices

• Make your profile public or private at any time in Account settings.
• Edit or delete your own threads and comments, and delete your chats.
• Ask for a copy of your information, or for your account and everything in it to be deleted, by writing to [contact email to be added].

Age

Not Bliss is not for children under 13, and you must be old enough to agree to these terms where you live.

Changes

If this page changes in a way that matters, we will say so on the site before the change takes effect. See also the terms of use and the community rules.
