Privacy Policy

Account information

When you create a QuoteIt account, we may collect:

• Email address
• Username
• Display name
• Password in securely hashed form
• Profile biography or other optional profile information

We do not store your password in plain text.

Content you create

QuoteIt may store content that you create or interact with, including:

• Thoughts and posts
• Draft posts
• Private posts
• Public posts
• Anonymous public posts
• Images attached to posts
• Selected emotions and topics
• Comments and replies
• Saved posts
• Felt This reactions
• Content reports

When you choose Public visibility, your post may be visible to anyone who visits QuoteIt.

Public content may include your post, selected emotion, selected topic, attached image, username, display name, and public profile information.

Public posts may also be accessible through direct links, shared outside QuoteIt, or indexed by search engines.

Avoid including sensitive personal information in content that you choose to make public.

QuoteIt allows users to publish certain public posts anonymously.

When a post is published anonymously, other users see it as being shared by Anonymous rather than seeing the creator's username, display name, or public profile.

Anonymous posting does not mean that the post is technically disconnected from the account that created it.

QuoteIt keeps an internal association between an anonymous post and its creator for purposes such as:

• Allowing users to manage their own posts
• Preventing abuse
• Handling reports
• Enforcing Community Guidelines
• Investigating security incidents
• Complying with applicable legal obligations

QuoteIt will not intentionally reveal the identity behind an anonymous post to ordinary users.

Posts marked Private or Draft are intended to be visible only to you through your QuoteIt account.

They are not intentionally displayed on public feeds or public profiles.

Authorized technical access may occur when reasonably necessary for security, maintenance, legal compliance, or investigation of serious misuse.

QuoteIt may process information about how you interact with the platform, including:

• Posts you react to
• Posts you save
• Comments and replies you create
• Emotions and topics associated with content you interact with
• Content you report
• Account and session activity
• Technical information used for security and abuse prevention

This information may be used to operate features such as the For You feed.

QuoteIt may use aggregated engagement information to determine which public posts are trending.

Signals may include Felt This reactions, comments, saves, and how recently a post was published.

We may use information to:

• Create and manage accounts
• Authenticate users
• Display and manage posts
• Provide private, draft, public, and anonymous posting
• Enable comments, replies, saves, and reactions
• Personalize the For You feed
• Rank trending content
• Operate search and discovery
• Prevent spam, fraud, misuse, and abuse
• Apply rate limits and security protections
• Investigate reported content
• Moderate the platform
• Maintain and improve QuoteIt
• Diagnose technical problems
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

Users may report posts or comments they believe violate QuoteIt's Community Guidelines.

QuoteIt may store information including the reporting account, reported content, reason for the report, report status, and relevant timestamps.

Authorized administrators may review reports and take actions including removing content, suspending accounts, banning accounts, or dismissing reports where appropriate.

Images uploaded to QuoteIt may be processed and stored using third-party cloud infrastructure, including Cloudinary.

Deleting a QuoteIt post may result in the associated hosted image being removed where technically supported.

QuoteIt relies on third-party technology providers to operate the service, including:

• Vercel for application hosting and delivery
• Neon for managed PostgreSQL database infrastructure
• Cloudinary for image storage and delivery

These providers may process limited technical information as necessary to provide their services.

Passwords are stored using secure password hashing rather than being saved in readable form.

QuoteIt may use measures including secure sessions, access controls, rate limiting, logging, and other protections designed to reduce unauthorized access or abuse.

No online service can guarantee absolute security. Use a strong, unique password and protect access to your account.

QuoteIt may use cookies or similar browser technologies necessary for authentication, session management, security, and maintaining your signed-in state.

If optional analytics, advertising, or other non-essential tracking technologies are introduced later, this Privacy Policy may be updated and additional consent mechanisms may be provided where required.

QuoteIt does not sell your personal information to advertisers or data brokers.

QuoteIt's current product model does not depend on selling user thoughts, private posts, or account information for advertising purposes.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate QuoteIt, maintain security, resolve disputes, enforce platform rules, and comply with applicable obligations.

Some information may need to be retained for a limited period after deletion for security, abuse prevention, fraud investigation, backup recovery, or legal compliance.

You may delete individual posts through available QuoteIt features.

If direct account deletion is not yet available through the platform, you may request deletion by contacting QuoteIt.

Public content may sometimes remain temporarily accessible through caches, backups, search engines, or copies created outside QuoteIt's control.

Depending on available features and applicable law, you may be able to:

• Edit profile information
• Edit or delete posts
• Choose Draft, Private, or Public visibility
• Publish eligible posts anonymously
• Remove saved posts
• Remove reactions
• Delete your comments where available
• Request access to information associated with your account
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request account deletion

QuoteIt is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from young children without appropriate authorization.

Users who are not legally able to consent to use an online service in their jurisdiction should use QuoteIt only with appropriate involvement from a parent or legal guardian where required.

QuoteIt uses cloud infrastructure that may operate from servers located in different countries.

Information may therefore be processed or stored outside the country where you live.

QuoteIt may contain or use services operated by third parties.

Third-party providers may have their own privacy policies and security practices.

QuoteIt may preserve, access, or disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law or valid legal process
• Protect the rights or safety of QuoteIt users
• Investigate fraud, abuse, or security threats
• Protect QuoteIt or the public from harm
• Enforce the Terms of Service or Community Guidelines

QuoteIt may update this Privacy Policy as the platform develops.

The effective date at the top of this page will indicate when the latest version took effect.
