radical transparency

SceneCheck is a trust and accountability platform for the kink community. Here’s exactly how we handle your data.

Every architectural decision starts with one question: how do we protect the people using this?

Privacy by architecture, not by policy.

Anonymous feedback

Partners answer structured questions. Nobody sees anyone else’s answers. No screen shows who gave which answers. The one exception is a flagged safety case, which takes a typed reason to open, and every opening is logged.

No searchable directory

You can’t browse users. You can’t look someone up. A profile reaches only people you pair with, or who open a link you share.

Encrypted at rest

Sexual health practices, report descriptions, appeal details, and personal limits are all unreadable without an active decryption key.

AES-256-GCM encryption with key rotation

Your number is verified once, then discarded forever. We store only a one-way cryptographic hash that cannot be reversed.

Two made-up numbers, one digit apart, hashed for real in your browser with a made-up key. The real key is secret. Change one digit and most of the hash changes, so the hash says nothing about the number.

number one

HMAC-SHA256

number two, one digit different

HMAC-SHA256

Even we can’t bypass these protections.

What we can’t see, even if we wanted to.

What an admin sees

This is your account as it sits in the database, printed out. Made-up values, real columns. Lift the marker to see what’s under it.

And what we do keep has an expiration date, except the log of what admins did.

Delete your account. Your profile goes.

Export your data or delete your account from Settings at any time. Reports and the admin audit log stay, without your ID. Backups keep a copy for up to 3 months.

So what about the scores themselves?

What goes into a score.

Same weights as the app, simplified. Change the numbers, or try one of the cases, and watch the score.

What the app weighs

  • Peer feedbackWhat partners say about the overall experience
  • CommunicationNegotiation, boundaries, and safe word clarity
  • ConfidenceScore certainty increases with more scenes
  • Community rolesEducator, DM, and other roles
  • Safety flagsReported violations cap your score

Scene scores reflect peer feedback history. They are not background checks, safety guarantees, or endorsements of any individual. Always trust your own instincts.
