Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 9, 2026

Welcome to Bulong (the "Project"). This is a personal, non-commercial project created by a developer who believes in the power of unsaid words. Because this project is built on anonymity, my goal is to collect as little data as possible.

1. The Information We Collect

  • Whispers & RepliesWe store the text you write and the coordinates where you drop your pin.
  • Geospatial DataTo protect your exact location, we may "fuzz" or approximate coordinates so they don't point directly to a specific private residence.
  • Local StorageWe use your browser’s "LocalStorage" to store your Secret Keys and Agimats (Badges). This data stays on your device and is not used to identify you personally.
  • IP AddressesWe may temporarily log IP addresses solely for Bantay-Bayan (moderation) and rate-limiting purposes to prevent spam and abuse.

2. What We DO NOT Collect

  • No Accounts: We do not ask for your name, email, or phone number.
  • No Tracking: We do not use third-party advertising trackers or sell your data to anyone.
  • No Personal Identity: We have no way of "linking" a whisper to your real-life identity unless you explicitly type your name into a message.

3. Data Retention & Deletion

Persistence

Whispers remain on the map until they "fade" out or are removed via the Bantay-Bayan moderation system.

User Control

Because we don't have accounts, you can only delete your whispers from the same device/browser you used to create them (via the stored Secret Key). If you clear your browser cache, you may lose the ability to manage your past whispers.

4. Moderation (Bantay-Bayan)

To keep the community safe, we use automated filters and community reporting. Messages that violate our community standards (hate speech, doxxing, or extreme profanity) will be hidden or deleted.

5. Disclaimer

This is a personal project and is provided "as is." While I use industry-standard tools like Supabase and Vercel to keep data secure, I cannot guarantee absolute security. Use the platform responsibly and avoid whispering sensitive personal information.

6. Contact

If you have questions about this project or want to request a manual takedown of a specific whisper, you can reach out to me via email: lesterleal.business@gmail.com
