Public reading does not require an account
The public site is primarily a static knowledge base. We do not ask for account creation just to browse editorial pages.
PRIVACY
Private by default.
ChineseDecoded is built as a content-first site. When interactive tools or uploads are involved, the default rule is simple: private first, public only with consent and review.
Recognition results are not auto-published
If image uploads open for tattoos, menus, or screenshots, the result stays private unless the user explicitly allows it to enter the editorial candidate queue.
Unapproved raw uploads should not live forever
Unapproved raw images are intended to be deleted after 30 days. Canonical knowledge pages keep the editorial conclusion, not the private personal upload itself.
Questions and corrections are handled directly
If you need a privacy clarification, correction, or deletion request, contact hello@chinesedecoded.com.
