Current: Internet Receipts
Effective Date: October 14, 2026
Welcome to Current.
Current: Internet Receipts ("Current," "we," "us," or "our") is an application developed and operated by Christopher Endress.
Current helps people discover important stories, understand the issues shaping our world, and turn awareness into meaningful collective action.
We value your privacy and believe you deserve to understand how your information is handled.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices available to you.
We collect information necessary to operate Current, personalize your experience, and improve the application.
When you create an account, we may collect your email address, unique account identifier, authentication provider information, and session information.
Current supports authentication through email and password, Sign in with Apple, and Google Sign-In.
Authentication providers may also process additional account or technical information according to their own privacy practices.
Current does not receive or store your raw Apple or Google password.
During onboarding, you can select topics and causes that matter to you.
We store these preferences to help personalize the Ripples and opportunities for action that appear in your experience.
Certain interests may reflect sensitive personal beliefs or preferences.
You may also complete an optional quiz to discover your action archetype: Advocate, Amplifier, or Organizer.
Your selected interests and archetype may be associated with your account.
To operate and improve Current, we collect information about how you interact with the application.
This may include:
Ripples you view, save, hide, or react to.
Moves you start or mark as completed.
Waves you view or join.
Badges and participation history.
Onboarding activity and app sessions.
Application version and build information.
Some of this information is associated with your account.
Move completion is self-reported. Current does not automatically verify every action performed outside the application.
Current stores certain information locally on your device, including authentication sessions, temporary application state, and recent Ripple exposure history.
Our infrastructure and third-party authentication providers may also process technical information such as IP addresses, device identifiers, usage information, or approximate location inferred from network information.
Current does not request access to your device's precise location as part of its core functionality.
If you contact us, we may collect your email address and any information you voluntarily include in your message.
We use this information to respond to questions, investigate problems, and provide support.
We use collected information to:
Create and manage your Current account.
Authenticate users and maintain secure sessions.
Personalize content based on selected interests.
Enable participation in Ripples, Moves, and Waves.
Record participation and activity.
Measure application engagement and performance.

We do not use your Current account information for third-party targeted advertising.
Current uses artificial intelligence to assist with its editorial workflow.
AI technology helps evaluate source material and prepare draft stories for publication.
Current uses Anthropic as an AI service provider.
Information processed through this editorial workflow may include article titles, URLs, excerpts, article content, and publicly available source information.
Current does not intentionally send your email address, account identifier, selected interests, archetype, Move history, Wave participation, or privately edited messages to its editorial AI provider.
AI-assisted editorial content is reviewed before publication.
We work with third-party service providers to operate Current.
These services include:
Supabase: Provides authentication, database storage, and backend infrastructure.
Apple: Provides Sign in with Apple and App Store services.
Google: Provides Google Sign-In and related authentication services.
Anthropic: Provides AI technology supporting our editorial workflow.
Vercel: Hosts Current's public web experiences and Wave landing pages.

Email service providers: Support authentication and user communications.
These providers may process information according to their applicable privacy policies, agreements, and security practices.
When you choose to share a Ripple, Move, Wave, or other content through an external application, the information you share is handled by the selected application or recipient.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws, protect users, investigate misuse, or maintain the security of Current.
We do not sell your personal information or share it with data brokers for targeted advertising.
Current collects first-party analytics to understand how people interact with the application.
For example, we may measure how often users view Ripples, begin Moves, complete Moves, or participate in Waves.
This information helps us understand whether Current is effectively helping people translate awareness into action.
Some analytics information is associated with your Current account.
Current does not currently use advertising SDKs or cross-app advertising tracking.
We take reasonable measures to protect your information.
Current uses authentication services, database access controls, protected backend credentials, and secure device storage for authentication sessions.
User account information and application activity are primarily stored through Supabase.
While we work to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure.
We cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain account information and associated activity records for as long as your account remains active and as reasonably necessary to operate Current.
When you delete your account, Current removes your authentication account and associated private records from its active application database.
Certain information may remain temporarily in infrastructure logs, backups, or security records according to applicable retention practices.
Information independently retained by third-party providers may be subject to their own retention policies.
You can request deletion of your account directly through Current's account settings.
When your deletion request is successfully processed, Current removes your authentication account and associated private application records, including selected interests, saved Ripples, reactions, Move history, Wave participation, and account-linked analytics.
Certain administrative records may remain after being disconnected from your account.
Deleting your Current account does not automatically delete your Apple or Google account or information those companies independently retain.
