Privacy Policy

The Short Version

We collect the bare minimum to make things work. We don't sell your data, we don't read your diary, and we definitely don't care what you had for breakfast. (Unless it was exceptional. Then maybe.)

What We Collect

When you use contrived.com, we may collect:

• Account Information: Your email address and a password hash. We can't see your actual password—that's the whole point of hashing.
• Authentication Data: Session tokens, MFA secrets, and related security mumbo-jumbo to keep bad actors out.
• Usage Data: Basic stuff like when you logged in and what features you used. We're not building a dossier.

We collect data like a minimalist collects furniture: only what's absolutely necessary, and even then, reluctantly.

What We Don't Do

• Sell your data to advertisers, data brokers, or that one guy from LinkedIn
• Track you across the internet like some kind of digital stalker
• Store passwords in plaintext (it's 2025, come on)
• Share your information with third parties unless legally compelled or you explicitly ask us to
• Read your private data for funsies

Cookies

We use cookies, but only the essential, load-bearing kind. Session cookies to keep you logged in, security cookies to prevent bad things. No tracking cookies, no advertising cookies, no mysterious cookies from domains you've never heard of.

Our cookies are boring. Just like the ones at corporate meetings.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data: encrypted connections, secure password storage, multi-factor authentication options, the works. That said, no system is 100% secure, and anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your data (just ask)
• Correct your data (if we got something wrong)
• Delete your data (we'll be sad to see you go)
• Export your data (take it with you, it's yours)

For any of these requests, email us at privacy@contrived.com. We promise to respond like actual humans.

Third-Party Services

We use Stytch for authentication. They're solid folks with their own privacy policy. Beyond that, we keep third-party integrations to a minimum because every integration is another potential leak in the boat.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this policy, we'll post the changes here with a new effective date. For significant changes, we'll notify you directly. We won't play hide-and-seek with your rights.
