PRIVACY

The full formal privacy policy is being written and will live on this page. Until then, here is the plain truth of how this site treats you.

What we do

• No advertising. There are no ads on this site and never will be. Nothing here is sold to advertisers.
• No tracking for profit. We do not build profiles of you, follow you around the internet, or sell or share your information with data brokers.
• Browsing is anonymous. You can read every one of our guides without an account, a login, or a cookie banner chasing you.
• Accounts hold the minimum. If you join the Community Trade, we hold your email address, your display name, your general location if you choose to share it, and your listings and comments. That is what makes the trade work, and nothing more.
• Your contact details are yours. Phone numbers and emails are never auto-shared. You decide what to reveal, and when, on each listing.

What we use to run the site

• Cloudflare serves the pages and provides basic, aggregate visit counts (no individual profiles).
• Supabase stores member accounts and listings, on servers with industry-standard security.
• Stripe handles the one-time $2 payment. We never see or store your card details.

Questions or requests

Want to know what we hold about you, or want it deleted? Email hello@rootsgrowinthedark.org and it will be handled personally. No forms, no runaround.

This page will be replaced by the full formal policy when it is complete. The promises above will not change; they are the point of the site.
