Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters—and so does your trust.

Bridging the Aisle exists to make honest conversation possible, not to harvest personal data. We collect only what's needed to keep this space safe, functional, and fair.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data—ever.

Cookies & Tracking

We use minimal cookies to remember logins and preferences; no ad trackers, no behavioral profiling. You can clear cookies in your browser anytime.

Data Retention

We keep account and content data only as long as necessary for transparency and enforcement. When you delete your account, it's removed from public view immediately and purged from our systems within 30 days.

Security

We use encryption and access controls to protect your info; still, no system is perfect. Use strong passwords; don't share personal details publicly.

If we make major changes, we'll update this page and notify you in-app or by email. Continued use of Bridging the Aisle means you accept the revised policy.

We take privacy seriously. Email [email protected] and a human will respond.

We built Bridging the Aisle for conversation, not collection.

Your words matter here; your personal information stays yours.
