The short version
- No accounts, no tracking, no ads, no analytics. We don’t use cookies to follow you around.
- Your checker answers stay on your device. They’re saved in your own browser, never sent to us.
- Appeal letters are never stored. The generator runs entirely in your browser.
- We never ask for your social media passwords. Not now, not ever.
- Our host, Cloudflare, sees basic technical data, like every website host does, so it can deliver and protect the site.

Who we are
Shadow-Banned Help (“we”, “us”) runs this website to help people understand and respond to visibility restrictions on social media. If you have a question about privacy, contact us at [email protected].
What we collect
Almost nothing. There are no sign-ups, no contact forms that send data to us, no advertising trackers and no analytics tools on this site. We don’t build profiles of visitors, and we don’t sell or share personal data, because we don’t hold any.
What’s stored on your device
Some tools save your progress in your browser’s local storage. That data stays on your computer or phone and is never sent to us:
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your answers in the Shadow-Ban Checker | So you can leave and come back without losing your place | Until you click Start over or clear your browser data |
| Your Quick Poll vote on the home page | So the poll remembers you’ve voted | Until you clear your browser data |
| Small display settings (such as menu scroll position) | To keep the page layout consistent | Until you clear your browser data |
You can delete all of it at any time by clearing your browser’s site data for this website.
The Appeal Letter Generator doesn’t save anything. What you type exists only on that page and disappears when you close it.
Copy buttons put text on your clipboard only when you click them. We never read your clipboard.
Site search runs in your browser. Your search terms aren’t sent to us or anyone else.
Hosting and security (Cloudflare)
This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare automatically processes technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the page you requested and the time. It uses this to deliver pages, keep the site fast, and protect it from attacks and abuse. Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies for this purpose.
We don’t use this information to identify or track individual visitors. Cloudflare handles it under its own privacy policy, which you can find on cloudflare.com.
The checks and your social media accounts
The free checker works only from tests you run yourself and your yes/no answers. It doesn’t connect to your social media accounts, and we never ask for your password.
Links to other websites
Our guides link to social media platforms and other sites. Once you leave this site, their privacy policies apply, not ours.
Features we may add later
We’re planning features such as a paid Deep Search, community accounts and advertising. None of these are live today. Before any of them launch, we will:
- update this policy to explain exactly what data the feature uses and why,
- ask for your consent where the law requires it, and
- for anything that connects to your social accounts, use the platform’s official sign-in (OAuth), so we never see or store your password.
Children
This site isn’t aimed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from anyone. Since we don’t collect personal data at all, there’s nothing for a child to give us.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, laws such as the EU and UK GDPR or the California CCPA/CPRA give you rights to access, correct or delete personal data, and to object to certain uses of it.
Because we don’t collect or store personal data about you, there’s usually nothing for us to hand over or delete. Your checker answers are already under your control in your own browser. If you have questions or think we hold something about you, contact us at [email protected] and we’ll respond within 30 days.
If you’re in the EU or UK, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Changes to this policy
If we change how this site handles data, we’ll update this page and the “Last updated” date at the top. If a change is significant, such as launching a feature that collects data, we’ll also announce it on the home page.
