Privacy Policy
How we protect your privacy and handle your data.
Last updated: 12 April 2025
Our Privacy Commitment
At Anonymyze.me, privacy is our foundation. We've built our platforms from the ground up with privacy and anonymity as core principles, not afterthoughts. This policy outlines our minimal data collection practices and how we protect your information.
Information We Collect
Technical Identifiers
For platform security and abuse prevention, we collect and store:
- IP addresses - When you submit content (questions, comments, etc.), we store a hashed version of your IP address. This helps us prevent spam, detect coordinated abuse attempts, and maintain platform integrity without storing your actual IP address in its original form.
- Browser fingerprints - We generate a browser fingerprint to identify returning visitors without requiring account creation. This allows us to implement rate limiting, prevent mass automated submissions, and protect our community while maintaining anonymity between users.
Important: Both IP addresses and browser fingerprints are:
- Stored in a hashed or transformed state to enhance privacy
- Never shared with other users
- Not used for tracking across other websites
- Automatically purged after 90 days
- Kept separate from content data when possible
Anonymous Usage Data
We collect minimal, non-identifying usage data to improve our services:
- Anonymized visitor identifiers (non-personal)
- Browser type and version
- Device type (mobile/desktop)
- Anonymous usage patterns
Content You Provide
When you use our platform, we store:
- Questions, answers, and comments you submit
- Any optional category tags you select
- Timestamps of submissions
Important: This content is never linked to personally identifiable information visible to other users.
How We Use Your Information
We use collected information solely to:
- Provide and improve our services
- Enforce our community guidelines
- Moderate content for safety
- Analyze usage patterns to improve user experience
- Prevent abuse and maintain platform integrity
We never:
- Sell your data to third parties
- Use data for targeted advertising

Technical Privacy Protections
We implement multiple layers of privacy protection:
- HTTPS encryption for all data transfers
- No persistent cookies that track users
- Data separation between content and technical identifiers
- Regular security audits and updates
Cookies & Local Storage
We use cookies and local storage only for functional purposes:
- Session management (essential functionality)
- Anti-abuse protections
You can clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings at any time without significantly impacting functionality.
Data Retention
We retain user-generated content until:
- You delete your content
- An administrator removes content for policy violations
- The platform ceases operations (with advance notice)
Anonymous usage data is aggregated after 30 days and individual records are purged.
