Terms and Privacy

Terms of service
I don't like writing strict rules, because strict rules spawn loopholes.
Instead, I like setting up a framework for what the spirit of the allowed is, and I enforce them as I see appropriate.
Documents of the following type are not allowed:
- Which serve as an index to illegal material.
- Which make obvious instigation to violence or harassment (doxxing, etc).
- In which the poster is pretending to be someone they are not.
Having set the previous standards, be advised that I will not get into legal fight for you. If lawyers or governments come request something is removed I don't really have a choice.
What I can promise is to not give out your personal information (and I ensure of this by not storing it in the first place - keep reading.)
Regarding privacy
No "identifying" details (IP address or forms of digital fingerprinting) are linked to user accounts.
IP addresses are temporarily stored in a database table - not linked to user data - for rate-limiting/abuse prevention purposes both for the main site and the API.
Notes
This document is a draft and may change.
While I try my best to keep things secure -and I keep the code open source for you and anyone else to keep me honest- writar is offered as-is, with no warranties regarding data safety, integrity, or protections regarding what St. Peter might ask you about your documents at the pearly gates.
