Privacy

The short version

• You can read the site and vote without an account. We never ask for your name to vote.
• We do not store IP addresses. To allow one vote per person we keep scrambled codes (salted hashes) that cannot be turned back into your address or browser.
• We use one cookie, only to remember that you voted. No advertising, no analytics, no tracking across sites.
• If you use the contact form, we keep your name, email and message so we can reply.
• Rankings are built from public posts on X about the people listed. We do not sell or share data.

When you vote

To count one vote per person we store, with each vote:

• a random visitor code kept in a cookie in your browser (pv_id, kept for one year, not readable by scripts);
• a salted hash of your network address, and a salted hash of your network address together with your browser type and language.

A salted hash is a one-way code: it lets us see that two votes came from the same device or network, but it cannot be turned back into your IP address or browser details. Votes are kept until the poll is reset or deleted. Your vote is never linked to your name or email.

To stop automated voting, the voting and contact forms use Cloudflare Turnstile, a check run by Cloudflare that may look at your browser and network to tell people from bots. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

When you contact us

The contact form sends us your name, email address, subject and message. We use them only to read and answer your message. A copy is kept in our admin area until we delete it, and the message is emailed to us through Resend, an email delivery service. We also keep a salted hash of your network address to limit spam. We never add you to a mailing list.

Public posts from X

The "X sentiment" rankings come from a sample of public posts on X (formerly Twitter) that mention the people listed. Our collector, which runs on Microsoft Azure, reads these posts through X's official API, and each post is classified as positive, negative or neutral using Anthropic's Claude AI model. We store the post's text, its author's public username and display name, and its date. A few recent examples may be shown on a person's page, with a link to the original post.

If a post is deleted on X, or its author asks us, we remove it and its effect on the score. If you wrote a post shown here and want it removed, contact us with the link.

Photos and people listed

People in the rankings are public figures. Their photos come from sources that allow reuse, such as Wikimedia Commons, and each photo page credits the author and license. If you are listed and want a detail corrected, a different photo, or your entry reviewed, please contact us.

Where the data is kept

The site and its database run on Cloudflare. Cloudflare also keeps short-lived technical logs of requests, as any web host does, and our database has 30 days of restorable history. The X collector runs on Microsoft Azure. These providers process data for us and may store it outside your country.

Your choices and rights

• You can delete the pv_id cookie in your browser at any time. This does not let you vote again in a poll you already voted in.
• You can ask us what we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, through the contact form. Because votes are stored only as one-way codes, we usually cannot find a single person's vote; we will tell you if that is the case.
• The site is not meant for children under 16.

If this page changes, the date at the top changes with it.
