This privacy policy describes what data the aisafemod application ("the App") processes when installed on a subreddit, how that data is used, and your rights regarding it.
1. What the App processes
When a comment is posted or edited on a subreddit where the App is installed, the App processes:
- The comment text body (sent to OpenAI Moderation API for classification, see Section 3)
- Comment metadata from Reddit's trigger payload: comment ID, author username, parent post ID, subreddit name, timestamp, spam/deleted flags
- The author username is checked against the subreddit's moderator and approved-user lists for bypass logic; the username itself is not persisted alongside moderation results
2. What is stored, where, and for how long
The App uses Reddit's installation-scoped Redis storage to hold the following:
- SHA1 hashes of comment bodies and idempotency markers, retained 60 minutes, used to prevent double-processing of the same comment
- Per-comment moderation decisions (comment ID to PASS or REMOVE), retained 7 days, used for audit purposes by moderators of the subreddit
- Daily aggregate counters (number of PASS / REMOVE per day), retained indefinitely; contains no per-user information
- Cached lists of moderator and approved usernames for the subreddit, retained 10 minutes, used to determine bypass eligibility
The App does not associate user IDs with category-level moderation scores in any persistent storage.
3. Third-party services
The App makes outbound HTTPS requests to OpenAI's API at api.openai.com for the sole purpose of content classification using the omni-moderation-latest model.
- Data sent to OpenAI: the comment text body and the API key configured by the subreddit moderator who installed the App
- OpenAI's data usage: OpenAI's API Terms (default since 2023) state that data sent via the API is not used to train OpenAI models. OpenAI may retain content for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, after which it is deleted. See OpenAI's privacy policy at https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/
4. API key handling
Each subreddit installation provides its own OpenAI API key.
