privacy

What we hold

What we collect

Your account. An email address — required, it is how you sign in. A display name and handle. Optionally a short bio, a link, and a profile picture. Optionally a phone number, if you choose to add one.

What you make. The zines, pages, images and captions you create or upload, and anything you write in a club.

What you do here. Which clubs you belong to, whether you said you were coming to a meeting, whether you turned up, and your notification settings.

Technical. One cookie that keeps you signed in, and a page-view count. We keep a log of emails we sent you so we can tell whether a message reached you.

Why

What we use it for

To run your account and sign you in; to show your zines and your clubs to other people; to send you the notifications you asked for; to keep the place safe and deal with reports; and to understand roughly how many people visit.

When a club’s zine is made by the robot, the words and photos everyone submitted to it are sent to the AI services named below under Who we share it with, and they are used only to make that zine.

If we ever want to use your information for something not described here, we will update this page and say so.

Who else sees it

Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information, and we never share it with anyone for their own marketing. A small number of services help us operate, and receive only what they need:

• Postmark — sends our email — sign-in links, notifications about your clubs.
• Twilio — delivers our text messages, when you have asked for texts.
• GoatCounter — counts page views. No cookies, no cross-site tracking, and we strip the query string before it is recorded.
• Google (Gemini) — reads the photos and words in a club’s submissions so the robot can lay out the zine.
• Anthropic (Claude) — writes the zine’s layout from the photos and words.
• DeepSeek — plans the zine from the words, not the photos.
• Cloudflare — checks that a sign-in is coming from a person rather than a script, when that check is switched on.

Anyone on the internet can see your profile page, the clubs you take part in and who is there, your attendance stars, and the zines you contribute to, including the photos in them. These are public pages, and search engines can index them. Your email, phone number and settings are never shown. If a photo of you is somewhere you do not want it, ask us to take it down — see Your rights below.

We may also disclose information if the law actually requires it.

Cookies

Cookies and counting

Essential cookies only — the one that keeps you signed in, and any set by the bot check that protects the sign-in form. There are no advertising cookies and no third-party trackers.

Our page-view counter does not use cookies and does not follow you between sites. We deliberately strip the query string before anything is recorded, because it can carry a sign-in token or an email address.

How long

How long we keep it

Your account and what you have made are kept while your account exists. Sign-in sessions expire once you stop using them, and you can sign out to end one immediately. Sign-in codes expire within minutes and are never stored in readable form. Delete your account and we delete your personal information, other than anything we are legally required to keep.

Your say

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. You can withdraw consent for notifications at any time in your settings. If you are in the UK or the EU you also have the right to complain to your data protection regulator.

Ask by emailing hi@drex.style. We will not make it difficult.

Age

Children

You need to be at least 13 to have an account. If you believe someone younger has one, tell us at hi@drex.style and we will remove it.
