Privacy Notice

This describes what No Dot Now actually does with data today, in plain language — not a generic template. It will be reviewed by a lawyer before we treat it as final.

1. Who’s responsible

Hyper Super SNC, Rue d'Italie 14, 1800 Vevey, Switzerland, is the controller for data processed through No Dot Now. Contact: info@hypersuper.ch.

2. What you write is public

Contributions are public by design — anyone who knows a page’s exact key can read them, and they can be copied, indexed, or archived by others outside our control. Don’t write anything you don’t want to be public.

3. Optional pseudonym (“handle”)

If you create a handle, we store the name and a bcrypt hash of your password — never the password itself, and there is no way for us or anyone else to recover it. A handle has no public profile, no follower count, and no visible activity list.

4. Anonymous session

A random, unguessable session identifier is stored in a first-party cookie (ndn_session) when you first interact with the site. It’s not tied to your name or any account, and is used only to: enforce basic anti-spam rate limits, correlate a text report with the contribution it points to, and (with your continued presence on the site) compute an aggregate, admin-only “how many people are on the site right now” count. It expires after one year. We do not log or store your IP address.

5. Cookies

We use the anonymous session cookie above, an optional cookie that remembers an active handle, and — only for the small number of people who administer the site — a signed admin-session cookie. None of these are third-party or advertising/tracking cookies, and we don’t run any third-party analytics or ad-tracking scripts.

6. Automated content checks

Before publishing, a contribution is checked locally for things like email addresses, links, and emojis. If an OpenAI API key is configured on our side, the text is also sent to OpenAI’s moderation API to check for material such as content endangering children, promotion of violence, or hate speech; if that check isn’t available, the contribution is published but flagged for a human to review instead. This means contribution text may be transmitted to OpenAI (based in the United States) strictly for this classification purpose.

7. Reports

When you report a passage, we store the selected text, the category you chose, and — when we can determine it — which contribution it belongs to. This is used only for moderation and is never shown publicly or to the person who wrote the reported text.

8. Hosting and infrastructure

The application runs on Vercel; the database is hosted with Neon (PostgreSQL), currently in the EU. These providers process data on our behalf as part of running the service.

9. Retention

Published contributions are kept as part of the product’s append-only design. Hiding a page or rejecting a specific contribution removes it from public view but does not immediately erase the underlying record — this lets us keep an accurate moderation history and act on legal obligations. There is currently no self-service tool to permanently delete a specific contribution; contact us if you need something removed.

10. Your rights

If Swiss or EU data-protection law gives you a right to access, correct, or request deletion of data that identifies you (for instance, a handle you created), write to info@hypersuper.ch. We handle these requests manually today — there is no automated self-service tool yet.

11. Applicable law

We are based in Switzerland, so the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection applies. If you access No Dot Now from the EU/EEA, the GDPR may also apply depending on your circumstances — this hasn’t yet been reviewed by a lawyer.

12. Changes

We may update this notice as the product changes. The current version and effective date are always shown at the top of this page.
