Updated 8 November 2026. This policy covers ahasa.space and the AHASA SPACE Android app. Operator and publisher: Ahasa Space. Contact: [email protected].
Accounts and public discussions
Reading does not require an account. Creating an account requires a chosen username, display name and password. We store a password verifier, account identifiers, creation time and session records. Your chosen display name and comments are public. Your real name, phone number and email are not required to register. Avoid posting private information.
We store comments, topic choices, reports and moderation history to operate the discussion service and investigate abuse. Reporting a comment sends its identifier and any report reason to our server. Moderators can edit or hide comments. Hidden comments and moderation history remain stored until the account's associated data is deleted.
Cloud services and security
The website, API and database use Cloudflare. Requests are encrypted in transit using HTTPS. News photos published by the Ahasa Space administrator are stored with Cloudflare and shown to all readers. Cloudflare and network infrastructure process connection information such as IP addresses and request metadata to deliver and protect the service. Administrator login attempts use hashed connection identifiers for rate limiting. Service-provider logs and backups follow the provider's own retention and security practices.
Android and device storage
The app stores website session cookies, theme and interface-language preferences and blocked-user choices in its private web storage. Optional news alerts store an enabled preference and the last checked news identifier on the device. Background checks retrieve public news and news photos without sending an account identifier. From app version 1.2.0, turning on news alerts also registers the app with Google Firebase Cloud Messaging so that new news can arrive instantly. Firebase creates an app installation identifier and a push token on your device; Google processes them as our service provider only to deliver Ahasa Space alerts. The app subscribes to a general news topic. We do not store your push token or link it to your Ahasa account. Turning news alerts off unsubscribes the app and deletes its push token and Firebase installation identifier. Android handles notification permission and scheduling. We do not access your contacts, photos, camera, microphone or location. The app contains no advertising or analytics SDK. Firebase Cloud Messaging is used only for optional news alerts. This does not prevent hosting infrastructure from processing operational logs.
Optional feedback and sharing
Choosing Send feedback opens a draft in your own email app addressed to [email protected]. You review and send it yourself; we receive the message and your email address if you choose to send. Do not include passwords or sensitive personal information. Sharing opens your device share sheet or lets you copy a public website link. Your interface language is stored on your device, not added to your account profile.
Retention, sharing and deletion
Live account data remains until you delete your account. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising. Public comments are visible to anyone and may be copied by readers. Cloudflare processes hosted data, and Google processes alert delivery data, as service providers.
To permanently delete your account and associated live comments, reports, moderation history and sessions, sign in and choose Account → Delete my account. An external starting point is Delete account. This is irreversible. Security or service-provider logs and backups may remain under provider retention practices; deleting live records does not instantly erase those provider-managed copies. Contact us about access, correction or deletion concerns.
Blocking affects what you see on the device where you block a reader. You can unblock readers from Account. Turn news alerts off in the app or Android notification settings. Updates to this policy will appear here.
