Safety and trust

Safety & Trust

How Are We All? is designed to be simple, anonymous, and low pressure. This page explains the basic trust boundaries of the site so people know what to expect before they use it.

What you should know before using the site

• This site does not require personal information to use.
• Responses are anonymous by default.
• We do not ask for passwords, financial details, or downloads.
• Please do not share sensitive personal information in your responses.
• Optional Google sign-in is limited to account-linked features tied to your own experience on the site, such as saving your streak or using the same generated username for protected posting features.
• We actively work to prevent harmful or misleading content.

What the site does not ask for

The site is built so you can answer the daily question without creating a public profile or handing over personal details. We do not ask you to upload files, install software, reveal financial information, or type a password into the site itself.

If you ever see a page on this site asking for a password, payment information, or a download to continue, treat that as suspicious.

What not to share in responses

The daily response box is meant for reflection, not for sensitive identifiers. Please avoid sharing phone numbers, home addresses, email addresses, financial details, account credentials, medical record numbers, or anything else that could put you at risk if it were exposed.

How optional sign-in works

Most of the site can be used without signing in at all. Google sign-in is optional and is used only for limited features that need saved progress or stronger abuse protection. Those features are separate from the anonymous response itself.

When sign-in is used, the site generates a consistent username for site use. That displayed username does not reveal a real Google name or email address to other users.

How we think about harmful or misleading content

We actively work to reduce spam, misleading behavior, and harmful content through moderation controls, rate limits, verification checks, and clear participation rules. The goal is to keep the site simple and emotionally useful without turning it into a place for manipulation or abuse.

What this site is for

How Are We All? is for anonymous daily reflection and shared perspective. It is not a replacement for professional support, crisis care, or emergency help. If you need immediate support, please reach out to someone you trust or to a crisis resource in your country.
