# Privacy & Data Sovereignty

Last Updated: January 26, 2026

Profiting from surveillance is strictly against our principles. We reject the "attention economy" model.

## 1. Data Sovereignty

We do not sell your data. We do not index your content on search engines. Sojorn is a private community designed to protect your posts and identity from the extractivist economy.

## 2. Collection Limit

We collect only what is necessary to function: your email (for authentication and critical updates) and the content you explicitly create. We do not use third-party tracking pixels that follow you across the web.

## 3. Zero-Knowledge Encryption

Private messages are end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) using keys generated on your device. We have no way to decrypt or read your private conversations.

## 4. Newsletter & Third Parties

Our newsletter is managed via **SendPulse**. When you subscribe, your email is stored securely on their servers solely for the purpose of delivering our communications. We do not cross-reference this list for ad targeting.

## 4. Your Right to Vanish

You have the absolute right to delete your account and all associated data at any time. When you leave, you leave. We do not retain hidden profiles.

## 5. Contact
