The accusation checker on the Check Your Accusation page does not store, log, or transmit any data beyond the immediate server-side comparison. Your submitted name, codes, and page number are compared against private environment variables and discarded. No email address is collected. No cookies are set by the checker. No record of your submission is retained.
Email addresses submitted through the corrections form, the Hidden Witness Bonus Challenge, or the newsletter signup are processed through Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), a third-party email service provider.

The Hidden Witness Bonus Challenge is optional. If you choose to participate, you will be asked to submit your answers along with your email address. This information is submitted through Brevo and is used solely to verify your answers and deliver bonus content related to the challenge.
Submitting the Hidden Witness Bonus Challenge form does not subscribe you to the newsletter. Your email address will not be used for marketing unless you separately opt in to the newsletter.
