Privacy policy for forum members
This policy explains what the forum at forum.aichecker.tech stores about you, why it stores it, and what you can do about it. It is written to be short, plain and conservative. The forum is run by the aichecker.tech team and is separate from the aichecker.tech tool, which has its own pages.
If you only read
If you only read threads, the forum does not ask you for anything. Like any website, the server that delivers pages keeps ordinary technical logs, such as the page requested, the time and basic details of the request. These are used to keep the forum running and to deal with abuse.
What the forum stores
If you create an account and post, the forum stores the following.
- Your account email. Members sign in by email link, and there are no passwords. We use your email address to send the sign-in link and to match your account. We do not publish it.
- Your posts. The questions, answers and replies you write, with the time you wrote them. Posts are public. Search engines may index them, and other websites may quote them. Please do not post anything you would not want to be public.
- Your display name. The name you choose to appear beside your posts. It is public, so please do not use your real name unless you want it shown.
The cookie we set
When you sign in, the forum sets a session cookie. It keeps you signed in so you can post, and it is needed for sign-in to work. Readers who never sign in do not need it. You can remove the cookie at any time in your browser, and doing so signs you out.
Server logs and hosting
The forum is hosted on Cloudflare. Cloudflare delivers the pages and, as part of running a web server, handles request information such as IP addresses and the pages requested. Standard server logs may record that information. We use it to keep the service available, to find faults and to block abuse. We do not use it to identify readers. Cloudflare's own handling of data is described in its published policies. We do not name any other outside services here, because the forum does not rely on others for what is described on this page.
The checker and the forum are different things
The checker at aichecker.tech stores no submitted text. That statement is about the checker. This forum is a public discussion site, and what you post here is stored and displayed. Do not paste text into a forum post that you would not want to be public, and do not post other people's writing or names. The posting guidelines explain what is not allowed.
How we use what we store
We use your information to run the forum: to let you sign in, to show your posts, to moderate the community, to answer your messages and to keep the service secure. We do not use forum posts to profile members.
The forum sends email for signing in and for notifications you ask for. Messages you send to the team at hello@aichecker.tech are read by the team and kept as long as we need them to deal with your request.
Your choices and deletion requests
You can ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you at any time. Write to hello@aichecker.tech from the email address you use on the forum, with the subject line "Data request", and say what you want done. We will match the request to your account, tell you what we did, and delete what you ask us to delete. Because posts are public and may have been quoted or indexed elsewhere, deleting a post here cannot remove copies held by other sites. If a post by someone else identifies you, send us the address of the post and we will review it. See the contact page for more.
Children
The forum is not meant for children, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has an account, tell us and we will review it.
Changes to this policy
If we change what the forum stores, we will update this page and change the date at the top. A change that affects how we handle your information will be shown clearly and not left for you to find.
