smallbird social

privacy policy

smallbird social is meant to run as lightweight as possible and stores no data on its own server. if you are using a veryroundbird.house pds, your data and activity is on that server, but it only stores what's necessary to, you know, interact with the atproto ecosystem. so, user ID information, your posts, follows, likes, etc.

the server also caches publicly-available post and user data to speed up requests. none of this data is kept longer than, like, a few days unless it's requested again.

there is some minimal tracking via goatcounter, but your data will never touch advertisers and it doesn't track individual users; i mostly just want to know what the site usage numbers are and where people found it from.

i have never been asked to or required to turn over data to any law enforcement agency.
