WisdomWell

1. Information We Collect

WisdomWell is a platform for sharing and discovering motivational quotes. We collect and store the following information:

• Quotes submitted by users
• Author names associated with quotes
• Like counts for each quote
• Timestamps for quote creation and updates
• A random code for each browser that adds or likes a quote, stored with those quotes only as a one-way hash (see section 4)

2. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used solely for the purpose of:

• Displaying quotes on our platform
• Tracking quote popularity through likes
• Maintaining the chronological order of quotes
• Letting the browser that added a quote edit or delete it
• Counting one like per browser, and letting that browser take its like back

3. Data Storage and Security

We take the following measures to protect your data:

• All data is stored securely in MongoDB
• We implement rate limiting to prevent abuse
• Input validation and sanitization for all submissions
• Regular security updates and monitoring

4. What We Don't Collect

We do not collect or store:

• Personal identifying information
• Email addresses
• IP addresses (except for rate limiting, each IP allowed a limited amount requests and is not stored)
• Tracking cookies or tracking data

The one cookie WisdomWell sets is ww_key. It's created when you add or like a quote, holds a random code, and lets the same browser edit or delete the quotes it added, and like each quote once. It doesn't identify you, isn't shared with anyone, and isn't used for tracking or ads. It lasts one year. If you clear your cookies or switch browsers or devices, you can no longer edit or delete those quotes, or take back those likes.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Submit quotes anonymously
• Edit or delete the quotes you submitted, from the browser you submitted them with
• Like quotes

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• MongoDB for data storage
• Font Awesome for icons
• Google Fonts for typography
• ZenQuotes for the quotes the "Inspire me" button shows. Our server asks ZenQuotes for quotes; your browser doesn't contact them, and nothing about you is sent to them.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
