Collection
Information we collect
When you create an account, we collect information you provide directly — name, email, and profile fields. We also store content you create: posts, comments, likes, bookmarks, and CSI verification claims when you join Tech Weekly.
- 02
Use
How we use your information
We use this data to provide, maintain, and improve The Fourth Clover: signing you in, personalizing feeds, enabling follows and comments, and sending notifications about activity on your work. We do not use your writing to train third-party AI models.
- 03
Security
How we keep it safe
Access is gated by authentication and row-level security. Data lives on Supabase (Postgres, Auth, and Storage) with industry-standard encryption and access controls. Only authorized operators can reach administrative surfaces.
- 04
Processors
Services that help us run
We rely on third parties for authentication (Google via Supabase), hosting, and delivery. Each has its own privacy policy. We do not sell personal information. Review vendor policies when you connect an account.
- 05
Rights
What you can ask for
You may access, update, or delete your personal information. Manage most of it in Settings. For account deletion or a data request, email us — we will remove personal data from our systems subject to legal retention needs.
