Trust and safety

What this project verifies, what it does not, and how we respond when something goes wrong.

Version 1.0 ·

Community-maintained

Northneed is an independent, community-maintained, unofficial demand platform. It does not represent, speak for, or receive commitments from the products discussed, and community demand does not guarantee implementation.

Independence and provenance

We do not imply participation by any product company. Boards, starter prompts, statuses, and community content are user-maintained signals, not official statements, responses, commitments, or shipment claims from the products discussed.

Privacy by boundary

Private ownership, consent, reports, moderation notes, and contact messages stay behind owner- or moderator-bound database operations. Public anonymous contributions hide the platform identity but are still accountable to authorized moderators.

Safety response

Private reports enter an auditable moderation workflow. Hidden content is removed from public projections. Rate limits reduce spam, and uncertain mutation responses never claim an action definitely failed or succeeded.

Operational transparency

The /healthz endpoint is only a coarse liveness and process check and reports no secrets; it does not prove dependency readiness. Backup restoration and external monitoring are not called verified until evidence-driven checks have actually passed; current external gates are documented in the repository runbooks.

Report a security issue

Report a security vulnerability privately by emailing attias.itay.ai@gmail.com; the contact page repeats this address and handling guidance. Do not open a public issue containing exploit details, credentials, personal data, or private content. There is no bug-bounty promise unless separately published.
