What we collect, what we don't, and why.

The short version: we collect your email address when you sign in, and we use it to let you sign in and to occasionally tell you about the project. We don't sell it. We don't share it. We don't track you across the web.

Information we collect

• Your email address — passed to us by auth.ljs.app after you click a magic link. Cached locally so we can attribute your suggestions, votes, and slot assignments.
• A session cookie after sign-in (HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax). Holds the JWT issued by auth.ljs.app so we know it's still you on the next page.
• Your activity within Slate — slates you join, suggestions you post, votes you cast, slots you claim, show notes you write. This is the data the app needs to function.
• Standard server logs (request paths, timestamps, error traces) to keep the service running.

How we use it

• To let you sign in and resume sessions.
• To send slot reminders 48h and 24h before episodes you're scheduled to record (Speakers only).
• To occasionally email registered users about substantive changes or new features. Infrequent.

What we do not do

• We do not sell your email or activity data to anyone.
• We do not share it with advertisers.
• We do not use third-party analytics that profile you across sites.
• We do not retain anything we don't actively need.

Your data, your control

You can request deletion of your account and your contributed data at any time. Email Scott Pierce directly. Suggestions tied to scheduled episodes may stay attached to those episode pages with attribution; everything else can be wiped.

Third parties

The site runs on Cloudflare (Workers, D1, Pages). Authentication is handled by our shared auth.ljs.app service, which sends magic-link emails via Resend. Slot reminders and other transactional email also go via Resend. We run our own self-hosted Plausible Analytics at plausible.ljs.app for aggregate page-view counts — it's cookieless, doesn't profile you across sites, and we don't share its data. None of these vendors are sold your data; they're tools we use to operate the service.

Public visibility

By default, a Slate's schedule and published show notes are public at slate.ljs.app/{slate}. Suggestion contents are visible to anyone who's a Member of the Slate, alongside the email of whoever posted them. App Admins and Speakers see all activity within their Slates.

If anything here changes substantively, we'll email registered users before the change takes effect.
