TAGGR Privacy Policy
Public rooms. Private moderation records.
Last updated: June 15, 2026
TAGGR is a public comment layer for the internet. It lets people create and participate in public discussion rooms connected to URLs.
This Privacy Policy explains what information TAGGR collects, how that information is used, what is public, what is private, and how moderation records are handled.
By using TAGGR, you understand that public submissions may be visible to others and that private moderation records may be used to protect the service from abuse.
1. Public content
TAGGR is designed around public URL rooms. When you submit content to TAGGR, some information may become public.
Public content may include:
- URLs submitted to TAGGR;
- page titles, descriptions, thumbnails, domains, and other page metadata;
- comments;
- replies;
- drawings, markups, or annotations;
- GIFs or other media attachments;
- timestamps;
- vote counts or other public interaction signals;
- public moderation labels, such as NSFW, blurred, hidden, removed, or under-review status.
You should not post anything to TAGGR that you do not want to be public.
TAGGR does not edit the original website connected to a URL. TAGGR creates an independent public discussion room associated with that URL.
2. Private moderation records
TAGGR records certain backend moderation data to operate the service, investigate abuse, enforce rules, and prevent repeat violations.
Private moderation records may include:
- IP addresses;
- device cookies or device identifiers;
- user-agent information or user-agent hashes;
- reports and flags;
- ban records;
- moderator actions;
- spam or abuse signals;
- blocked devices, IP addresses, URLs, or domains;
- records connected to removed or hidden content.
These private moderation records are not displayed publicly as ordinary TAGGR content.
TAGGR uses this information to:
- investigate reports;
- block spam;
- prevent banned users, devices, or IP addresses from continuing to post;
- detect repeat abuse;
- enforce TAGGR rules;
- protect users and the service;
- preserve evidence of serious violations where necessary.
3. Account and posting information
Depending on the features available when you use TAGGR, you may be able to post with an account, post anonymously, or interact with rooms in other ways.
TAGGR may collect information connected to those actions, including:
- username or display name;
- login or account identifiers;
- email address, if provided;
- comments, replies, votes, reports, and moderation history;
- timestamps of activity;
- technical information associated with posting or moderation.
Anonymous posting does not mean TAGGR has no backend records. Even when a post is not publicly tied to a real name or account, TAGGR may still store private technical and moderation records to prevent abuse.
4. Cookies and similar technology
TAGGR may use cookies, local storage, or similar technology to operate the site.
These may be used to:
- keep users signed in;
- remember settings;
- support posting and moderation;
- detect spam or abuse;
- enforce bans or rate limits;
- protect the security and integrity of the service.
Some cookies or identifiers may be used specifically for abuse prevention and moderation enforcement.
5. Reports, flags, and moderation actions
TAGGR allows users to report or flag content that may violate TAGGR rules.
When a report is submitted, TAGGR may store:
- the reported URL, comment, room, or media;
- the reason for the report;
- the time of the report;
- information about the reporting user or device;
- information about the reported user or device;
- moderator notes or actions.
TAGGR may label, blur, hide, remove, preserve, or block content as part of moderation. TAGGR may also block devices, IP addresses, URLs, domains, or accounts from posting.
6. How TAGGR uses information
TAGGR uses collected information to:
- provide public URL rooms;
- display comments, drawings, GIFs, metadata, and other submitted content;
- operate accounts and posting features;
- review reports;
- moderate content;
- prevent spam, harassment, doxxing, impersonation, malware, illegal content, and other abuse;
- protect the security and reliability of the service;
- improve TAGGR features;
- comply with legal obligations;
- enforce TAGGR's Terms and Safety rules.
TAGGR does not use private moderation records to publicly identify users unless required for safety, enforcement, legal compliance, or protection of the service.
7. What TAGGR does not make public
TAGGR does not intentionally publish private backend moderation records as ordinary public content.
This includes:
- IP addresses;
- private device cookies;
- private ban records;
- private moderator notes;
- non-public abuse-prevention signals;
- non-public technical records used for security or enforcement.
However, content you submit publicly may remain visible unless it is deleted, hidden, removed, or otherwise moderated.
8. Sharing information
TAGGR may share information in limited situations, including:
- when required by law, subpoena, court order, or legal process;
- when necessary to protect TAGGR, its users, or the public;
- when investigating spam, abuse, security incidents, or illegal activity;
- with service providers that help operate TAGGR, such as hosting, storage, analytics, security, moderation, or infrastructure providers;
- in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, sale, or transfer of the service.
Service providers should only receive the information reasonably needed to perform services for TAGGR.
9. Third-party content and links
TAGGR rooms are connected to third-party URLs. TAGGR does not control the privacy practices of the websites linked, discussed, previewed, or commented on through TAGGR.
Opening an original URL, GIF, media file, embedded content, or external link may cause your browser to interact with a third-party website or service. Those third parties may collect information under their own privacy policies.
10. GIFs, media, previews, and metadata
TAGGR may display or store page metadata, thumbnails, previews, GIF links, drawings, and other media connected to public rooms.
If you submit or attach media, that media may be visible publicly. If the media is hosted by a third party, that third party may also receive information when the media loads or is opened.
TAGGR may blur, label, hide, or remove media that violates TAGGR rules or requires sensitive-content handling.
11. Data retention
TAGGR may retain public content for as long as needed to operate public URL rooms, preserve discussion context, maintain public records, or enforce rules.
TAGGR may retain private moderation records for as long as needed to:
- prevent repeat abuse;
- enforce bans;
- investigate reports;
- maintain security;
- comply with legal obligations;
- protect TAGGR and its users.
Some removed, hidden, or blocked content may be preserved privately for moderation, safety, legal, or abuse-prevention purposes.
12. Children
TAGGR is a general-audience service and is not directed to children.
Children should not use TAGGR if they are not old enough to consent to the collection and use of their information under the laws that apply to them.
If TAGGR learns that it has collected personal information from a child in a way that violates applicable law, TAGGR may delete the information or take other appropriate action.
13. Security
TAGGR uses reasonable measures to protect the information it stores. However, no website, database, or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users should avoid posting sensitive personal information, private contact information, passwords, financial information, medical information, or anything else they do not want made public.
14. User choices
Depending on the features available, you may be able to:
- delete or edit certain content;
- report content;
- request review of moderation decisions;
- manage account information;
- stop using TAGGR;
- contact TAGGR about privacy questions.
Some information may be retained even after public content is removed, especially where retention is needed for moderation, abuse prevention, legal compliance, or security.
15. Legal requests and safety issues
TAGGR may preserve, review, disclose, or remove information when TAGGR believes it is reasonably necessary to:
- comply with law;
- respond to legal process;
- enforce TAGGR rules;
- investigate abuse;
- protect users;
- prevent harm;
- address security issues;
- prevent illegal activity.
16. Changes to this policy
TAGGR may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When the policy changes, TAGGR may update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of TAGGR after a change means you accept the updated policy.
