Privacy

Rate the Slop stores only what it needs to run community voting: canonical X status URLs, numeric post IDs, moderation state, aggregate votes, anonymous interaction records, timestamps, and report metadata.

What we do not store

We do not store copied post text, screenshots, media, usernames, raw IP addresses, Turnstile tokens, or secrets. Canonical storage uses only the numeric X post ID and does not retain the submitted account handle. We do not claim that a score detects AI authorship.

Official X embeds

Approved verdict pages and the featured homepage verdict use the official X widget. When it loads, X may receive the page URL, your IP address, browser information, and cookies. The widget may be blocked by your browser or unavailable for protected and deleted posts.

Optional analytics

If you allow analytics, we use PostHog to receive a small set of anonymous product events, such as whether a submission or vote succeeded. Analytics never includes X URLs, post IDs, form entries, vote choices, report reasons, copied text, usernames, or session recordings. PostHog is configured without persistent visitor identity or person profiles and is instructed not to derive location from your IP address. Your analytics choice is saved in this browser and can be changed at any time.

Anonymous interactions

Voting uses a random secure cookie that lasts up to one year. The server combines it with a coarse network prefix using a private HMAC key; raw IP addresses are neither stored nor sent to Turnstile verification. Vote and report interaction records expire after 180 days.
