Privacy policy.

Crier carries a message and then forgets it. This page says exactly what is held, for how long, and who else sees it. It is short because the service collects almost nothing: there are no accounts, no cookies, no tracking, and no analytics.

01What is collected, and for how long

datawhykept
The destination (an email address, a phone number, or a URL) and the message contentTo deliver the message and retry if the other side is downUntil the delivery is final, then deleted. In practice seconds to a few hours.
A masked destination (j***@example.com, +1***45), a hash of the destination, a hash of the content, and the delivery statusSo the sender can ask what happened, and so caps can be counted7 days
A hash of any destination that opted out, bounced, or complainedSo the opt-out can be honored forever, for every senderIndefinitely. The address itself is not kept, only the hash.
A hash of any phone number that opted in by text, and the id of the message that granted itSo we can show, if asked, that the person consentedUntil they opt out
Daily counts of requests per route, and truncated user agent stringsTo tell whether the service is being used90 days

Payment happens on a public blockchain by the nature of the x402 protocol, so paying wallet addresses are visible on chain whatever we do. We keep no ledger of who paid beyond what the chain already shows.

02What is never done

  • Message content is never read for meaning, scored, profiled, or used to train anything.
  • Nothing is sold, rented, or shared for advertising. There is no advertising.
  • No cookies are set, no analytics or tracking scripts run, and these pages ship no JavaScript at all.
  • No mailing list exists. A destination cannot be added by anyone except the sender who pays to reach it, and for SMS, not even then without the recipient's own opt-in.

03Who else handles a message

Delivery needs carriers. An email passes through our email provider, and a text through our SMS carrier, each under their own terms and each holding the message for their own retention period. A webhook goes directly from our server to the URL the sender named, with nobody in between. We choose providers that are established transactional senders rather than marketing platforms.

04Your choices

If you received something: reply STOP to a text, or use the unsubscribe link in the footer of an email. Either stops every agent that uses this relay, permanently and immediately. See received a message? and how SMS opt-in works.

You can also write to contact@vimabrosta.com to be blocked by hand, to ask what is held about a destination, or to have it deleted. We answer from the operator's address and do not ask why. Because opt-outs are stored as hashes with no reversible copy of the address, a deletion request on a suppression is one we will decline: removing it would let you be messaged again, which is the opposite of what it exists for.

05Changes and contact
