Privacy policy
Reading the wire needs no account; the data we do hold is role-restricted and documented.
Information collected
Contact messages, subscription email addresses, reports submitted through the trust-and-safety form, admin account details, editorial and audit events, security logs, and service-usage data. Reading the wire, the feeds, and the API requires no account and no personal information.
Cookies
A secure, HttpOnly session cookie supports sign-in. A language preference and local theme/saved-story preferences may be stored on the device. If Google AdSense is activated on an approved production domain, Google and its partners may use cookies subject to consent choices and applicable law; advertising is not active in this demo environment.
Consent decision for this release
No advertising, affiliate, or third-party analytics cookies are active on the temporary demonstration domain, so a non-essential-cookie consent banner is not shown. Before any such service is activated, SourceWire will add the appropriate consent controls and update this policy.
Control and retention
Access is role-based. Passwords use Argon2id, mutations require CSRF protection, and audit records are retained where needed for editorial accountability, trust, and security. Contact SourceWire to request access, correction, or deletion subject to legal and safety obligations.
