WriteFreely, the software that powers this site, is built to enforce your right to privacy by default.
It retains as little data about you as possible, not even requiring an email address to sign up. However, if you do give us your email address, it is stored encrypted in our database. We salt and hash your account's password.
We store log files, or data about what happens on our servers. We also use cookies to keep you logged in to your account.
Beyond this, it's important that you trust whoever runs WriteFreely. In this case that is StoryDragon. Software can only do so much to protect you — your level of privacy protections will ultimately fall on the humans that run this particular service. To be more clear, StoryDragon has full access to the WriteFreely database which means that he can see and change quite some things, if he would want to. So you have to know that you can trust him. However, StoryDragon will only enter the database when it is really neccesary.
