A little
privacy.

This site stores a member profile only when you choose to join. Your profile includes your sign-in email, chosen name, interests, update preference, and membership dates. Saved reading, bookmarks, and reflections are linked to your account.

Membership registry & certificates

The application stores your prior first and last names, birth date, Snake Person date, optional correspondence email, attestation text and timestamp, membership number, certificate number and issue date. These records are private to your sign-in and accessible to Society operators. Birth date and email are omitted from the downloadable certificate. The classification assessment keeps answers only in the current page and does not upload them. No welcome email is sent automatically. Deleting your membership also removes your registry contact record; downloaded certificates remain on your device.

Freedom from Affiliation

The public letter builder keeps text, recipient details, addresses and signatures in the current page’s memory. PDFs are generated in your browser. Nothing is automatically saved, emailed, or submitted. Download before leaving the page. Signed-in members can optionally include their existing certificate; it is never required to use the builder. Optional signup affiliations remain private account preferences, editable through your account data settings.

Your participation record

Passport stamps, discussion follows, votes, gathering attendance preferences and inbox read status are saved privately to your account. Public votes are shown only as totals. Approved contributions may be featured with your display name. In-site notifications show approved replies and review decisions; they are not email or device notifications. Principal moderation notes and activity logs are private. Account export includes participation and affiliation preferences; account deletion removes your associated records.

Who can see what?

Your member space is private to your sign-in. Other participants cannot browse your reflections. The Society’s site owner and service administrators may access stored data to operate the service. Please keep sensitive personal details out of reflections.

Learning & community privacy

Weekly Shedding School notes and practice marks are saved only in your browser; you can download or clear each note in the lesson. The last visited school week is stored locally to show a new-week welcome. Anyone using the same browser profile may see these notes. Older optional account-based course progress and reflections are stored with your signed-in account. Private reflections are not shown to other members or in the principal’s review desk. The service’s operators may access stored data as needed to run the service.

Submitting to the common room deliberately shares that text with the principal. Approved contributions and your display name become visible to the Site’s audience. Reports and review notes are private to the reporter or contributor and the principal. Your email is never included in public community responses.

Use your membership page to export your data or delete your profile, course progress, notes, and contributions. You can also withdraw individual contributions. Google sign-in is planned; the current sign-in provider is ChatGPT.

Before you join

Reading notes and bookmarks are saved only in this browser. The practice scratchpad also stays on this device. Library page bookmarks, last-read positions, and reader preferences stay on this device whether or not you join. The Scientific Facts field notebook is saved only in this browser when you select Save field notes; you can download or clear it on that page. Clearing your browser’s site data removes these notes. Anyone using this browser profile may be able to see them.

Accessibility feedback

Reports submitted through the accessibility page store the page address, report text, timestamp and review status. Reports are visible only to Society operators. No membership or contact information is required. Keep your report reference and avoid sensitive personal details.

Your email and choices

The newsletter checkbox starts selected for new applications and email forms. You may uncheck it; existing saved opt-outs are retained. Your choice is recorded only when you submit. A newsletter broadcast service is not yet connected. Document email delivery has been removed. Download a PDF and attach it in your own email app if desired. No payments are processed here.

Take your data, or leave

From your member space you can download your profile and saved notes, change preferences, or remove your membership and its associated notes. Leaving clears this browser’s Human Lies notes and practice scratchpad. Clear weekly notes and library bookmarks separately using their reading tools. This does not delete your sign-in provider account.
