What we do not collect

Data is stored in a SQLite database on the server running this site. OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM. Session cookies are signed with a server secret.

Server logs may include usernames or error details during normal operation. We do not sell your data.

Deleting your account

You can permanently delete your account from Account Settings. Deletion removes your user record, sessions, draft and bingo submissions, instances you own, and related data. This action cannot be undone.
