What the service receives
Comments use Remark42. Your chosen display name and comment are public. You can participate as a guest without a social account. Do not publish sensitive personal information.
The service uses a browser session, authentication cookies, request limits and network information to operate and prevent abuse. Guest names do not prove identity.
Moderation and processors
Cauhi hosts Remark42 on its own server. Cloudflare Tunnel handles the public HTTPS connection. Comments are stored in the server database and its backups. Comment email login and email notifications are currently disabled.
Comments may appear immediately. Paulo can remove comments or block participants who violate the guidelines. There is no guaranteed review before publication.
The email updates are separate from comments. If you subscribe or request a guide PDF, Brevo receives your email address, your first name if provided, the requested guide and the campaign link you arrived from. Brevo stores these details and sends a confirmation request for a new subscription. Updates start after you confirm. If you already confirmed your subscription, a requested guide can be emailed to you straight away. Each update includes an unsubscribe link.
Retention
Comments remain until removed. The server creates daily comment backups and retains up to 14 automatic backup files. An outage does not by itself erase stored comments.
You can request removal through the contact details on this site. Removal from the live discussion does not immediately remove copies in existing backups; these expire as backups rotate.
Instagram comments and messages
If you comment a keyword on an @cauhi post or message @cauhi, an automated system using the official Instagram API stores your Instagram-scoped user ID, username, the comment or message, timestamps, the messages sent to you and whether you follow @cauhi.
This is used only to answer you, avoid duplicates and measure guide performance. It is stored on our own server and in encrypted backups, is not sold, and is kept for up to 12 months after your last interaction.
