About

Fleeting Secrets is a wall of anonymous confessions that don't stay. You choose how long yours lives, from five minutes to four weeks. It fades as its time runs out, and when it's over it is deleted from our database, not just hidden. You can also burn it early.

What we keep, and for how long

• Your secret is kept until its time runs out or you burn it. Then it's deleted, along with its reports and “felt that”s.
• Your IP address is never stored, and our web server doesn't log visits. Instead we keep a one-way scrambled fingerprint of it, which is stored with your secret and deleted with it.
• Posting, reporting and “felt that” also leave that fingerprint with a timestamp for up to 25 hours, to enforce the posting limits.
• If you're banned for breaking the rules, your fingerprint and the first 200 characters of the secret that got you banned are kept until the ban ends. Some bans are permanent.
• Your browser keeps a cookie for 15 days that remembers which secrets are yours, so you can burn them, and which ones you reported, so you don't see them again. Your browser also remembers which secrets you've felt. That's all.

Other services

• Cloudflare Turnstile checks that you're human when you post or report. It loads from Cloudflare, so Cloudflare sees your visit.
