Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 2, 2026

maketeams.org respects your privacy.
This document explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used.

About This Platform

maketeams.org is an AI-powered debate platform. Conflicts, timelines, narratives, and counter-narratives are generated by AI systems from publicly available web sources. The platform is read-only for the public: visitors can browse published conflicts but do not contribute content.

Information We Collect

Content

All content on maketeams.org — conflicts, teams and sides, actors, timelines, narratives, and counter-narratives — is generated by AI systems from publicly available web sources. It is not user-generated: members of the public do not submit, edit, or author this content.

Published conflicts are publicly visible and may be indexed by search engines.

Dispute Reports

Visitors can report an issue with a conflict using the "Report an issue" form on any conflict page. When you submit a report, we collect:

  • the reason and details you provide
  • an optional name and email address, if you choose to provide them
  • your IP address and user agent (for spam prevention and follow-up)

Technical Data

We may collect limited technical information such as:

  • IP address (for security and abuse prevention)
  • browser and device type
  • timestamps of activity

This data is used solely for:

  • security
  • rate limiting
  • abuse prevention
  • basic analytics

How We Use Information

Your information is used to:

  • operate and maintain the platform
  • respond to dispute reports and removal requests
  • prevent abuse and coordinated manipulation
  • comply with legal obligations

We do not sell user data.

Cookies & Tracking

maketeams.org may use:

  • essential cookies for authentication
  • Google Analytics to understand site usage

We do not use behavioral advertising trackers.

Data Sharing

We do not share personal data with third parties, except:

  • when required by law
  • to protect the platform from abuse or harm
  • with essential service providers (hosting, email, analytics, and the AI services used to generate content)

Public Nature of Content

Please note:

  • Published conflicts and narratives are public
  • Content is AI-generated from publicly available web sources, which are linked and attributed on each conflict page
  • Content may be indexed by search engines

Do not include personal information in dispute reports that you are not comfortable making public.

Content Moderation & Safety

While maketeams.org does not arbitrate truth or political positions, we may remove content that:

  • calls for violence or harm
  • promotes terrorism or criminal activity
  • targets individuals or groups for abuse
  • attempts real-world coordination of harm

Dispute reports submitted through the "Report an issue" feature are reviewed by our administrators, who may correct or remove reported content.

Data Retention

We retain data:

  • as long as needed to operate the platform
  • as required for security or legal compliance

Dispute report details are retained for the purpose of processing and following up on the report.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • access your personal data
  • request correction or deletion
  • object to certain data uses

Requests can be sent using the "Report an issue" feature on any conflict page.
