What we store
From Telegram: your account number, name, username and language. Telegram passes them to us when you confirm login in the bot. We do not receive your phone number.
What you fill in yourself: your leader profile or project card, and offers.
Scam reports: what you wrote about a person or project and the links you attached.
A technical log: login and action times and IP address. It protects the platform from hacking and abuse.
Who sees what
Reviewed projects see leader profiles: without the contact, and without the name for anonymous profiles.
A leader's name and contact go only to the project the leader answered with Interested. That project's contact goes only to that leader.
Leaders who received an offer from a project see that project's card.
Only a moderator sees your scam report. On the blacklist everyone sees what the moderator approved: the name or title, reason, projects and description. Phones from reports are not published, they are used only for search.
Moderators see what is needed to review and protect the platform.
Where and how long
Data is stored on a server in the Netherlands (DigitalOcean, Amsterdam). Encrypted backups are kept for 30 days.
Data lives as long as your account does. When you delete the account, it is removed from the database at once and disappears from backups within 30 days. The technical log is kept for 12 months. Blacklist entries stay until a moderator removes them.
What we do not do
We do not sell data or pass it to third parties unless the law directly requires it. We do not send ads. We use no analytics counters or ad trackers.
Cookies
Only the necessary ones: the login key and your language choice. Without them the site cannot recognise you after login.
Your rights
Correct your data in your profile or card. Turn off notifications and delete your account in settings with one button. Questions about your data: write to @LeaderPitchBot.
