Privacy

CTRL+CHAOS handles information you choose to send through the contact form or Synapse, limited website analytics, and technical request data processed by the services that host and operate the site. Synapse explains its contribution terms before asking for sharing permission.

The site does not have user accounts, advertising trackers, or behavioral profiling.

The contact form asks for your name, email address, subject, and message. This information is validated by the site and sent through Resend so the message can be delivered by email.

CTRL+CHAOS does not write contact-form submissions to an application database. Resend and the receiving email service may retain message content and delivery information according to their own service practices.

Synapse is being prepared for selected AI conversations shared voluntarily. Text or shared-chat links, permission records, review versions and internal notes enter a private review queue. A nickname or Anonymous is sufficient; private contact details are not required.

The hosted private queue uses Turso. Only the reviewed and approved public version goes to the public GitHub archive, after separate approval. Netlify serves a rebuildable public snapshot. Public branches and pull requests expose their contents before merge; review happens before they are created. Saving a shared link does not import or publish its conversation.

Abuse controls store hashed network scopes and expiring counters privately. Hashing does not guarantee anonymity. During the MVP, Abe retains private originals, rejected submissions, consent and review history without automatic deletion, and reviews deletion requests. Approved public contributions grant CC BY 4.0 only for rights contributors own or are authorized to license. Commercial reuse is disclosed before consent; third-party rights and rights in AI output are not assumed to belong to the contributor. Public Git history, forks and downloaded copies can remain after removal, and removal does not revoke granted license permissions. Read the Synapse contribution terms before sharing.

The production site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand general site usage and page performance. The analytics beacon loads after the page becomes interactive.

Cloudflare describes Web Analytics as privacy-first and says it does not collect or use visitors' personal data, use cookies or local storage to collect usage metrics, or fingerprint individuals. You can read more in the official Cloudflare Web Analytics information-collection documentation.

Public browsing does not require a contributor login. Synapse saves a draft in browser local storage only if you opt in; you can clear it. Moderator sign-in uses a protected signed session cookie with an eight-hour expiry. These features do not provide advertising or behavioral profiling.

Services you choose to visit through external links may use cookies or browser storage under their own policies.

Netlify hosts and delivers CTRL+CHAOS and may process technical request information needed to serve, secure, and operate the site. Resend processes contact-form messages for email delivery. Cloudflare provides the website analytics described above.

These providers process information under their own service terms and privacy practices.

CTRL+CHAOS links to external services including YouTube, Udemy, GitHub, LinkedIn, X, and Reddit. When you choose to follow an external link, the destination's own privacy practices apply.

Following one of these links is separate from submitting the contact form. Those linked services do not receive your contact-form message from CTRL+CHAOS.
