Privacy

A report says which post it's about and whether you think it's AI-made. Here's everything that comes with it and where it goes.

What your app sends

The post's id (for a TikTok video, the number in its address), the creator's id when the app knows it, the platform, your vote and the link you reported. It also sends an install ID, a random number your app made when you installed it. No account, email or phone number is ever sent, and no name unless you pick one for the stats page. Removing the browser extension opens a goodbye page here, and its address carries no install ID, so the server can't tell whose it was.

What the server keeps

Your vote, the post's id and your install ID, so you can change your vote or take it back. The creator's id, when your app sent one, goes with it until that creator's last report is deleted, so the list's owner can look at the creator. A share link is opened once to find the post it leads to. The link itself is never stored.

Your IP address is used for a moment to tell networks apart, so one household or one office can't count as dozens of people. It's turned into short codes made with a secret key that stays on the server, so nobody else can turn them back into an address. One pair changes every day. Another is made for each post, so the same network counts once on it however many times it reports. Then the address is dropped. It isn't written to the database or to the web server's logs.

A post's votes stay for 30 days after its last vote and are then deleted from the server. All it keeps after that is how many reports your install has made, for the stats page.

The name you pick for the stats page, if you pick one, is kept with your install ID until you clear it in the app.

What's public

The list shows a hash of each reported post's id with its counts. The report logs show each vote with the post's hash, the creator's hash, the vote, the time to the minute and the day's two codes. The database download has each post's hash, creator's hash and counts with the owner's ruling, and no codes. Your install ID is never published.

The stats page lists the people who reported the most this week and of all time, with how many reports each made. You show there by the name you picked, or else by a short code made from your install ID, which can't be turned back into it.

Taking a report back

Use Undo in the app, or take the vote back from the button you reported with. Your vote leaves the counts and the next list, and the public log records that a vote was withdrawn.

Asking for a second look

If you ask for a second look at a video, the server keeps the video's link, your message and the contact you give, so the person who runs HushSlop can read it and answer. None of it is published. A link to a TikTok account's page is opened once on TikTok to find the account's number. A request is deleted 30 days after it's closed, or after 90 days if it's still open.

Your IP address is turned into the same day's codes a report gets, which only count how many requests one connection sends. They aren't kept with your request. One more code, made for that video the way a report's is, stays while your request is open, so your network can't send a second one about the same video before there's an answer. It's deleted when the request is closed.

If you say the account is yours, you're given a code for its bio. It's made the same way from your network and the video, with the same key, and it's kept with your request until the request is deleted.

Sending proof

If you send proof for a post, the server keeps the post, your link and your note. Parts of the link that only say who shared it (utm_ tags, fbclid, Instagram's igsh and the like) are cut off first. Once a moderator checks it, the link and your note show on that post's proof page for anyone to see, with no name on them, so don't send anything private. A link that isn't shown is deleted 30 days after it's turned down, or after 90 days if nobody gets to it. A shown one stays until its post leaves the list.

Your IP address is turned into the same day's codes a report gets, which only count how many links one connection sends. They aren't kept with your link. One more code, made for that post, stays while your link waits, so your network has one link waiting on a post at a time. It's deleted when a moderator decides.

Who the reports belong to

The terms cover that, and when an install can be shut out.
