Comments privacy notice

Last updated October 25, 2026

This notice explains how Google sign-in and reader comments work on delbartonsatire.org, the Delbarton Satire Club website. You can read published articles and visible comments without signing in.

Information used for sign-in

When you choose Google sign-in, Google shares basic account information with our authentication provider, Supabase: your Google account identifier, email address, name, and profile information such as your profile picture, when available. Google handles your password; our website does not receive it.

We use this information to authenticate you and associate comments with your account. The sign-in integration requests only basic identity scopes (openid, email, and profile), rather than access to Gmail messages, Google Drive files, or calendars.

Information shown with comments

Comments store the article, your account identifier, a display name, the comment text, and its posting time. Your comment, display name, and posting date are publicly visible. The display name normally comes from your Google name; if no name is available, the current comment form falls back to your email address. Review what you post and avoid including private information.

Comments publish immediately and may later be hidden by site administrators. Signing out or removing this app from your Google account does not automatically remove comments you have already submitted.

Storage and service providers

Supabase processes authentication and stores comments. Vercel hosts the website. These providers process information needed to operate their services and may maintain technical or security logs. Google processes the Google sign-in flow under its own privacy policy.

Your browser stores sign-in session information so you can remain signed in after refreshing the page. Use the comment section's Sign out button to end your website session on that browser. Comments remain stored unless removed by an administrator; hiding a comment removes it from public view but does not itself delete the stored record.

Requests and contact

To request removal of your comments or ask about information associated with your sign-in account, contact zhang_m@delbarton.org. Include the article link and enough information to identify the comment. We may need to verify that the account or comment belongs to you before acting on a request.
