Account and content
TOTE is operated by Blooms AI Technologies LLC. We store your sign-in email, display name, optional country or region flag, reading language, posts, replies, private pins, muted and blocked accounts, reports, and notification preferences to provide the service. Your name, selected flag, posts and replies are public. Your flag is self-selected and is not a verified location.
Service providers
Neon provides database hosting and authentication. Resend delivers account emails and forwards support messages to our support team. With your permission, public display names, posts and replies are sent through OpenRouter to DeepSeek for AI safety screening. Email, account passwords and private pins are not included. You can withdraw permission in Settings → Privacy to stop new submissions for screening. This does not recall already submitted content. Browsing does not require this permission. Hosting and authentication providers may process IP addresses and technical security logs to operate and protect the service.
Translation
Apple’s translation framework translates text on your device. Language downloads may be needed. You can view original text from the post menu.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, a device token is stored for reply delivery. You can turn notifications off in Settings. Notification messages do not include the text of a post.
Your choices and deletion
You may edit your display name, flag and preferences, remove your posts, and delete your account from Settings. Account deletion removes credentials, public content, pins, device tokens and preferences. Local drafts are removed from that device. Minimal moderation and deletion records may be retained for abuse prevention and to safely complete deletion. Provider backups may persist for their retention period.
No advertising or tracking
This version has no advertisements, subscriptions or purchases. TOTE does not request photos, contacts, or precise location, and does not use advertising tracking.
