Privacy

Who is responsible

LOUD is published by FinTrack AI Solutions, which decides how the data described here is used. Questions and requests go to support@protesttracker.online.

When you read the site

• No cookies, no accounts, no advertising trackers. We do not build profiles, and we do not sell or share data for advertising.
• Visit counts. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It loads a small script from Cloudflare and records the page, the site you came from, your country, browser and device type, and how fast the page loaded. It sets no cookies and does not follow you across sites.
• Server logs. The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like every web host, it processes your IP address and browser details to deliver pages and stop attacks. We do not use these logs to identify readers.
• Two settings saved in your browser. Light or dark theme, and whether you closed the KryVault bar (remembered for 30 days). They stay on your device and are not sent to us.
• The KryVault bar. A click or a close adds one to a daily total per country. No IP address, cookie or ID is stored with it. KryVault is a separate site with its own privacy policy.
• Fonts and maps come from our own domain, not from other companies.

When you add a protest

The form on Add a protest does not ask for your name, email or phone number. Please do not put personal details about yourself or anyone else in it.

• What you type (headline, city, date, why, demands, organisers and an optional link) is kept in a private database on Cloudflare until it has been checked, usually within a few hours, and is then deleted from that inbox.
• To limit how many reports one person can send in a day, we keep a short one-way code made from your IP address. It changes every day and is deleted with the report. We do not keep the IP address itself.
• An AI service (currently Google’s Gemini) checks the report and rewrites it in neutral words. If it passes, the rewritten text and your link are shown publicly, labelled as an unverified reader report. Your own wording is not published.
• Reports that mention deaths, injuries or arrests stay hidden until newsrooms confirm them. Reader reports that newsrooms never confirm leave the site after the protest ends.

When you email us

We receive your email address and what you write, and use them only to answer you and correct the site. Mail to our address is passed on by Cloudflare to our mailbox.

People named on protest pages

LOUD summarises published news reports. Our rule is to name only organisations, parties, elected officials and official spokespeople, never ordinary participants or people who were hurt, detained or killed.

If you find your name on LOUD and think it should not be there, email support@protesttracker.online with the page link. We will review it quickly.

Who handles the data

• Cloudflare: hosting, visit counts, the report inbox and mail forwarding.
• GitHub: stores the site’s code and the published protest data, and runs the program that builds them.
• Google (Gemini): writes summaries from news reports and checks reader reports.

These companies may process data outside your country, including in the United States. We do not sell personal data.

Your rights

We hold almost nothing that identifies you. If you have emailed us, or believe a page contains your personal data, you can ask for a copy, a correction or deletion at support@protesttracker.online; we answer within 30 days. If you live in the EU or the UK, you can also object to the processing and complain to your data protection authority.

Changes

If what we collect changes, we update this page and the date below.
