Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 8, 2026

Digg Inc. ("Digg," "we," "us," or "our") runs Digg at https://di.gg. Digg Inc. is registered in Delaware and has offices in California.

This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to Digg and related services. It does not apply to X, GitHub, or other third-party sites we link to or use as public data sources.

What We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Public information from online sources. Digg collects and analyzes public information from services like X and GitHub, including public profiles, usernames, display names, bios, avatars, public posts, replies, reposts, quotes, media metadata, links, engagement counts, public follow or interaction signals, public GitHub profiles, repositories, stars, follows, and public activity.
• Information we create from public data. We generate rankings, topic clusters, labels, summaries, sentiment signals, vibe/topic scores, embeddings, category tags, and other product signals from public information.
• Visitor and device information. When you visit Digg, we may collect IP address, browser and device information, referring pages, pages viewed, clicks, searches, filters, performance data, error reports, and similar usage information.
• Search information. If you use search, we process your search terms to return results. Story search queries may be sent to OpenAI to create a search embedding.
• Account information for admin users. If you access internal admin areas, we use Clerk to process sign-in, session, organization, role, user ID, and verified email information.
• Information you send us. If you contact us, we collect your contact details and message.

We do not ask visitors to provide payment information, government ID numbers, or sensitive personal information through the public Digg site. Because Digg analyzes public posts and profiles, public-source data may include information that the source user chose to make public.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

• operate Digg and show public rankings, stories, profiles, clusters, and feeds;
• search, classify, summarize, rank, and group public content;
• keep the service secure, reliable, and fast;
• understand usage, fix bugs, measure performance, and improve the product;
• authenticate and authorize admin users;
• prevent abuse, including rate limiting public search;
• comply with law and enforce our rights.

Our public rankings and AI-generated signals are editorial and product features. We do not use them to decide employment, credit, housing, insurance, or similar legal rights.

AI Processing

Digg uses AI services to classify public accounts, summarize public posts and linked articles, describe public media, generate topic labels, score public content, and power search. These services may include, but are not limited to, xAI, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and other AI providers.

Inputs to these systems can include public posts, public profile information, public GitHub information, linked article text, media metadata, and search queries. We also use safeguards to avoid sending secrets and to reduce unnecessary capture of raw prompts or outputs in our telemetry.

Cookies and Local Storage

Digg uses cookies and local storage for:

• sign-in and session management;
• security and rate limiting;
• preferences such as theme, sidebar state, and view settings;
• analytics, performance measurement, and error reporting.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some features may not work correctly if required cookies are blocked.

Analytics and Error Reporting

We use services such as PostHog, Sentry, and Vercel Analytics/Speed Insights to understand traffic, performance, errors, and product usage. Our error reporting setup is designed to avoid sending sensitive values like passwords, tokens, cookies, authorization headers, raw AI prompts, and raw AI outputs.

Sentry session replay, when enabled, masks text and inputs and blocks media by default.

When We Share Information

We share information with:

• service providers that help us run Digg, including Supabase, Vercel, Vercel Blob, Clerk, Trigger.dev, PostHog, Sentry, OpenAI, xAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, other AI providers, Upstash, and Iframely;
• public data sources and APIs, such as X and GitHub, when needed to fetch or validate public information;
• the public, when we display public-source information or derived Digg signals on pages, APIs, feeds, or other product surfaces;
• authorities or others when required by law, security, fraud prevention, or to protect rights;
• a successor organization if Digg is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes above. Public-source content and derived Digg signals may be kept while useful for rankings, product history, research, debugging, or abuse prevention. Admin account and session data are kept as needed to operate admin access. Telemetry and logs are kept for a limited period appropriate for security, debugging, and reliability.

Some rate-limit records are intentionally short-lived. For example, story search rate-limit keys are designed to expire quickly.

Your Choices and Rights

You can:

• use browser controls to limit cookies and local storage;
• contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or removal of information you provided to us;
• contact us if Digg shows a public profile or public-source item about you that you believe is incorrect or should be removed from Digg.

We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Removing information from Digg does not remove it from the original public source, such as X or GitHub. We may also keep limited records when needed for security, legal compliance, or to complete your request.

California Privacy Note

California residents may have the right to know, access, correct, delete, or receive information about certain personal information, and to be free from discrimination for exercising privacy rights. California residents may also opt out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, but Digg does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

You or your authorized agent can make a request using the contact information below.

Security

We use technical and organizational safeguards to protect information, including access controls, server-side secrets, row-level security where applicable, service-role restrictions, telemetry scrubbing, and limited admin access. No system is perfectly secure.

Children

Digg is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

International Users

Digg is operated from the United States. If you use Digg from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States and other countries where we or our providers operate.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above shows when it was last updated.

A Friendly Note From the Team

We value your privacy. We do not sell personal information, and we use the information we collect to operate Digg, keep it reliable, understand what is working or breaking, and improve the product experience.

If you are reading this, privacy probably matters to you, and we understand that. We use analytics, error reporting, infrastructure, and AI service providers because they help us see where Digg can be faster, clearer, safer, and more useful. Our goal is to serve you the stories and product experience you are looking for, not to use your information in ways that are unrelated to Digg.
