Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, store, and share data on the BribeStop platform.
What we collect
Report content (text, optional contact email, evidence links/text), account data for donors/moderators/admins (email, password hash, roles), and technical metadata such as IP address, timestamps, device/browser info for security and rate limiting.
How we use data
To run the platform, contact reporters who opt in, prevent abuse, process donations via Stripe, and produce aggregate statistics without identifying individuals. We avoid exposing sensitive details to donors or the public.
Legal bases and retention
Consent for optional contact, contract for accounts and donations, legitimate interest for security and anti-abuse controls. Default retention is up to 5 years or longer when required for investigations; data may be anonymised sooner when legally allowed.
Storage and security
Transport encryption (TLS), restricted role-based access, audit logging for sensitive views, and private storage for attachments when enabled. We aim to store data in the EU/EEA or another adequate region whenever possible.
Your rights
You may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, or objection where permitted by law. Contact privacy@clearwhistle.example; you can also complain to your data protection authority. We may decline a request if it would expose a whistleblower or violate law.
