Privacy Policies

This Privacy Policy explains how The Moriah Project collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use our website and services.

The Moriah Project is committed to collecting only the information reasonably necessary to operate the service and support a safe, functional community.

When you create an account, we may collect information such as your display name, email address, password credentials, and other information you choose to provide.

When you create a remembrance or otherwise submit content, we collect the information you choose to include in that content.

You should avoid including sensitive personal information that you do not want stored or displayed through the service.

We use account information to create and manage your account, authenticate your access, and provide account-based features.

Passwords are not stored in plain text. Passwords are processed using secure hashing before being stored.

Authentication tokens may be used to keep you signed in and authorize access to protected features.

We use information to operate, maintain, and improve The Moriah Project.

This includes authenticating users, displaying remembrances and profile information, providing support resources, preventing abuse, troubleshooting problems, and maintaining the security and reliability of the service.

We may also use technical information to understand how the service is functioning and to identify errors or performance problems.

Content you submit to The Moriah Project may be stored in our databases and displayed to other users or visitors depending on the feature and visibility of that content.

You are responsible for deciding what information to include in a remembrance or other user-generated content.

Because remembrance content may discuss other people, you should use care when sharing personal information about others.

When you use The Moriah Project, our systems and service providers may automatically process technical information such as request details, browser or device information, timestamps, error information, and performance data.

We use this information to operate, secure, monitor, and troubleshoot the service.

We aim to avoid collecting more technical information than is reasonably necessary for these purposes.

The Moriah Project uses application logging and error-monitoring tools to help diagnose technical problems and maintain the reliability and security of the service.

Logs may include information such as request identifiers, request methods, route information, response status codes, request duration, and internal user identifiers when a request is authenticated.

We avoid intentionally logging passwords, authentication tokens, email addresses, request bodies containing sensitive information, or other credentials.

The Moriah Project relies on third-party service providers to operate parts of the service, such as application hosting, database hosting, deployment, monitoring, and related infrastructure.

These providers may process information on our behalf as necessary to provide their services.

We do not sell personal information to advertisers.

The Moriah Project may provide links to third-party websites, crisis services, support organizations, or other external resources.

Those services are operated independently and may have their own privacy policies and data practices.

This Privacy Policy does not govern information you provide directly to third-party services.

We retain account information and user content for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain security and integrity, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it is being retained.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no online service or storage system can guarantee complete security.

You may update certain account information through available account features.

You may choose what information to include in user-generated content.

Additional account and data controls may be added as The Moriah Project continues to develop.

The Moriah Project is intended for users who are at least 18 years old.

We do not knowingly permit children under 18 to create accounts or use account-based features.

We may update this Privacy Policy as The Moriah Project changes or as our data practices evolve.

When we make changes, we will update the effective date and version shown on the Privacy Policy page.

When appropriate, users may be asked to review updated terms or privacy information before continuing to use account-based features.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how The Moriah Project handles information, please contact The Moriah Project using the contact information provided on the website.
