Who runs this site

The site is built and run by Sira, personally. For any question about your data, write through the feedback form on the About page.

Reading the site

You can read the facts, the day’s reflections and the globe messages without an account and without giving anything. No cookie is set until you write something.

Your theme choice (light or dark) is kept in your browser’s local storage. It never leaves your device.

Writing a reflection or a message

To post, you need a username and an email address. The address is only used to check that you can read it: we send it a 6-digit code to type on the site.

Your email address is never shown or passed to other visitors. It is stored encrypted, and it is erased as soon as nothing of yours remains online: no reflection, no message, no device still recognised.

What is public: your username, your text, its language, its date and, for the globe, a city.

How long your texts stay

• Reflections on the fact of the day are hidden at midnight (UTC), then permanently deleted after 7 days.
• Globe messages stay visible until they are removed, by you (on request) or by moderation.
• Verification codes are deleted as soon as they are used or expire.

The globe and your location

A globe message is attached to a city you pick from a list. The site does not ask for your location and never shows anything more precise than the city.

The only cookie

Once your email is verified, a session cookie keeps your device recognised for 90 days, so you do not need a new code for every message. It is strictly necessary for the service you ask for, which is why the site shows no consent banner.

There are no ads, no tracking, no audience measurement and no social media buttons following you.

Reports and removal

Anyone can report a fact, a reflection or a message. A text reported several times is hidden automatically until it is reviewed, and moderation can delete it.

To avoid duplicate reports, the site keeps an anonymous fingerprint (a hash) of the person reporting, never their IP address in clear.

Service providers

The site relies on three services, which only receive what they need:

• Cloudflare: hosting of the site and its database, the Turnstile anti-bot check (which processes your IP address when you send something), and Workers AI to help spot inappropriate texts.
• Resend: sending the email that contains your code.
• DeepL: translating a visitor’s text, only when someone asks to read it translated. The translation is cached for 7 days, never stored in the database.

Your rights

You can ask what the site keeps about you, or ask for your texts and your email address to be deleted. Write through the feedback form with your username and what you would like; the request is handled without a direct reply, since the form asks for no address.

If you feel your data is not being respected, you can also contact the data protection authority of your country.
