Privacy

Review Times collects as little as it can. Updated 25 September 2026.

What we store

• Reports. The store, dates, status, and the optional note and link you add. Notes and links are public. We store a hash of your private update link, never the link itself.
• Email alerts. If you subscribe: your email address, which store, and whether you confirmed. Used only to send the alerts you asked for. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe, and unsubscribing stops all sending.
• Email for an assistant-made report. If you give your email when reporting through ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant, we use it once to send your private update link. It is not stored.
• Forwarded store emails. If you forward a store’s email to log@reviewtimes.fyi: the email’s text and your address. Used only to add your report and send you its private link. The email itself is never published; ask and we will delete it.
• Rate limiting. A hash of your IP address with a daily salt, so we can limit reports and sign-ups per network. The raw IP is not stored.
• Public posts. We collect first-hand posts about store reviews from public forums, GitHub, Reddit and X, and link each report to its source. Ask us and we will remove one.

How we use it

Reports are combined into the public wait times and shown on the store pages. Email addresses are used only to send the alerts and digests you signed up for. The IP hash is used only to limit abuse.

How long we keep it

• Reports stay in the public record, because the wait times are calculated from them. You can delete yours at any time from its private update link, or ask us to.
• Email addresses are kept while you’re subscribed. After you unsubscribe we keep the address marked as unsubscribed so it is never emailed again; ask and we will delete it completely.
• IP hashes use a salt that changes every day, so after that day they can’t be matched to an address.

Your choices

Update or delete your report from its private link. Unsubscribe from any email with one click. For anything else, including removal of a collected post or deleting your email address, write to hello@reviewtimes.fyi.

What we don’t do

No accounts, no advertising, no tracking cookies, no selling or sharing data. The MCP server and API (reviewtimes.fyi/mcp and /api/v1) need no sign-in and store nothing beyond the reports you choose to submit.

Processors

Cloudflare hosts the site, database and email. Posts we collect are classified with TypeSafe (Jev) and Anthropic (Claude), and found with xAI and OpenAI search; those services see public post text only, never your email.
