Privacy Policy

The Build Wall · Last updated September 2026

What we collect

  • Account: your email address and a password (stored securely by our authentication provider, Supabase), or your Google account's email and name if you sign in with Google. We never see your Google password.
  • Age check: during sign-up we ask for your date of birth only to confirm you're 13 or older and whether you're under 18. We store "teen" or "adult", not your birth date.
  • What you choose to add: your profile, projects, sites, images, files you upload (like a résumé PDF), comments, skills, education and achievements. Files you upload can be opened by anyone who has their link.
  • Saved copies of your sites: when you publish or make big changes, we keep a few earlier versions so you can go back. Only you can see them.
  • Usage counts: we count project views, portfolio views, shares and résumé exports. These counts aren't linked to who viewed. We don't use advertising trackers.

What's public

Your portfolio and published projects are public unless you make your profile private in Settings. Drafts are visible only to you and your teammates. Your sign-in email is never shown. Your school is hidden by default if you're under 18.

Messages sent through contact forms

If you use a contact form on someone's site, we store the name, email address and message you enter (and your account, if you're signed in). Only that site's owner can read it, plus our moderators if something is reported. The owner may reply to the email address you gave. We limit how many messages can be sent each day to prevent spam. The site owner's email address is never shown to you.

The forum and safety checks

Questions and replies you post on the forum are public, along with any PDF you attach. Before anything you write goes up (forum posts, comments, club listings and messages), we check it automatically for unsafe content and personal details (like phone numbers and addresses), including the text inside attached PDFs. Public posts (forum posts, comments and club listings) may also be sent to Anthropic, an AI provider, for a second check. Anthropic doesn't use them to train its models. Private messages aren't sent to Anthropic. Forum posts the check isn't sure about are seen by our moderators before they're published.

Videos, maps and music on sites

Some sites include videos, maps or music from other services (YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps, Spotify or SoundCloud). When you view one, that service receives your visit under its own privacy policy. YouTube videos use its privacy-enhanced mode.

Games, quizzes and stories on sites

Some sites have games, quizzes or stories that remember your best score or where you got to. That's saved only in your own browser (you can clear it by clearing your browser's site data). It isn't sent to us or to the site's owner.

What we don't do

  • We don't sell your personal information.
  • We don't show ads based on your activity.

Service providers

We use Supabase (database, sign-in and image storage) and our hosting provider to run the site. On the sign-up, sign-in and password-reset pages, Cloudflare Turnstile checks that you're a person and not a bot (it looks at things like your browser and connection, not your account details). They process data only to provide those services.

Optional AI résumé import

If you choose "Fill in from your résumé", the document you upload or paste is sent to Anthropic, an AI provider, to read it. We don't store the document on this site. Anthropic doesn't use it to train its models, and may keep it only briefly under its own data policies. Nothing is added to your profile until you review and choose it. If you don't use this feature, nothing is sent.

Your choices

  • Edit or delete anything you've posted at any time.
  • Make your profile private, hide your school, and control whether a contact email is shown.
  • Delete messages people sent you, and your sites and their saved versions, at any time.
  • Delete your account in Settings. This permanently removes your profile, projects, sites, images, files, messages and comments.
