Privacy
Last updated November 11, 2026
Account details: username, display name, email address, hashed password, timezone, profile visibility, notification preferences, and age/guidelines confirmations. Activity: dares you create, participations, submissions and proof metadata, points ledger entries, badges, comments, reactions, follows, reports, and moderation history.
Published dares, accepted completion entries, comments, reactions, badges, and your scorecard are public by default. Your email, password, authentication data, pending submissions, reports, moderation notes, and private settings are not public. If you set your profile to private, your profile details and completion timeline are hidden from visitors, though aggregate challenge counts still include your participation. You can opt out of public leaderboards.
When you submit an external link, DareShow stores the URL and optional display metadata. We do not fetch arbitrary submitted URLs, download third-party video, or re-host third-party media. Uploaded images are re-encoded to strip metadata, stored privately, and served through a controlled URL only to authorized viewers until acceptance; accepted proof may be shown publicly. Do not upload anything you do not have permission to share.
To operate accounts and profiles, verify completions and award points, calculate streaks and badges, send in-app and optional email notifications, run leaderboards, prevent abuse, moderate content, honour reports and appeals, and maintain audit records. We do not sell personal data or use proof URLs for advertising.
We use essential cookies for authentication, CSRF protection, and session security. We do not use advertising cookies. Local development may log email to files instead of sending it.
You can edit your profile and request account deletion in Settings. Deletion anonymizes your profile and hides it. Moderation records, point-ledger history, and accepted completion records may be retained with identity removed where needed for audit, dispute resolution, or legal compliance. Rejected and withdrawn proof media may be deleted on a retention schedule unless it is under report or appeal.
You can access and export core account data from Settings, update profile information, change privacy preferences, and delete your account. To report content or privacy concerns, use the Report action or contact the moderation team through the site.
We use password hashing, email verification, CSRF protection, authorization policies, rate limits, private storage for pending images, and transaction locks for point awards. No system is perfectly secure; use a strong, unique password and report suspected abuse.
The launch service is intended for people aged 18 and over. A broader age policy requires separate privacy, moderation, and legal review.
