How We Protect Your Anonymity

Technical Safeguards

• Anonymous tokens: Reviews display a random identifier, not your user ID
• Stylometry protection: We analyze and modify writing patterns to prevent identification
• Database separation: Review data is stored separately from user identity data
• No metadata leakage: Timestamps, device info, and location are not exposed
