Voks

What this stores, and what it cannot

Voks is a wall for writing things down at work, and most of what makes it safe is a thing the database cannot do rather than a promise not to do it. This page says which is which.

Whose data it is

Your employer runs the workplace on Voks and decides who is invited to it. They are the data controller; mixtape.works — Human Hygiene Kft., 1163 Budapest, Datolya utca 40., Hungary, company registration number 01-09-464537 — builds and hosts the software for them, as their processor. The full company details are at mixtape.works/imprint. A question about why a wall exists, or who at your company can see it, belongs to them; a question about what the software does belongs to us, and the address is at the bottom of every page.

What a post stores about you

Nothing that leads back to you. A post on the idea wall records the text, the time and the workplace it belongs to — no name, no e-mail address, no IP address, no browser identifier, no session. There is no relation in the database that joins a post to a person, so nobody — not your employer, not an administrator, not us — can work out who wrote one.

What is named, and why

Voting is named. A monthly allowance of points cannot be enforced without recording who spent them, so a vote records the voter — never the author of the post it was spent on. The leadership board is named too, and says so at the top of the page: a message there carries the name of the person who wrote it.

What we know about members

The name and e-mail address your employer gave us when they invited you, so a sign-in link could be sent to you, and the time you first used that link. Whoever signed the workplace up signs in with their mixtape account instead, and for them we keep the address that account confirmed. That is the whole of it.

Cookies

Six, all first-party, none for advertising or analytics: one that keeps you signed in, one that lets a phone write on a wall without signing the post (it is per workplace and holds a random token, not an identity), one for an administrator’s session, two that last ten minutes while somebody signs in with a mixtape account — one holds the sign-in’s own check values, the other the confirmed address until the company has a name — and one that remembers the language you picked in the settings menu, set only if you pick one. There is no third-party script on any page of this product, so nothing here is reported to anybody else.

Counting page visits

We count how many times each of our public pages (the front page, the sign-up page and this one, never a workplace’s wall) is opened each day, and which site a visit came from (only that site’s name) — no IP address, no cookie, no device details, nothing that tells one visit from another.

How long it is kept

For as long as your employer’s retention period, twelve months unless they set another. After that a post is deleted automatically, with its votes and reports. A moderator at your workplace can also hide a post sooner — the wall then shows that it was hidden and why — and a post is deleted for good only by your workplace’s owner — whoever signed it up — or by us, when your employer or you ask.

Asking for your data, or its removal

Because the posts carry nothing that identifies a person, there is no way to find “your” posts — not for you and not for us, which is the point. What can be found and removed is your membership: your name, your address and your voting history. Ask your employer, who administers the workplace; if the software is in the way, write to us and we will fix that.
