Current data
What BlackSakura stores
BlackSakura stores the account and service data needed to run site features: username, display name, email confirmation state, profile settings, profile images, user-uploaded cloud images/folders, friends, access keys, variables such as Pedals, and EcoSim game state.
Passwords are stored as hashes. The site should never ask you to share your password outside the login or password-change forms. User uploads are stored under account-owned folders; locked folders require the owner or an admin login to view.
Uploads
Cloud folders, deletion, and reports
Unlocked BlackSakura Cloud folders can be viewed by direct public link if someone knows the URL. Locked folders are private to the owner and admins. Deleted files and folders move to temporary trash first and can be purged after the retention window.
Admins may review active, locked, reported, and trashed uploads for moderation, support, and safety. Logged-in users can report accessible uploads when they believe something should be reviewed.
Third parties
External services
The site may use third-party infrastructure or services, including Linode hosting, email delivery, and Google AdSense advertising scripts. Those services can operate under their own policies and may use cookies or similar technologies where allowed.
The current authorized seller record is published at /ads.txt. If BlackSakura's own data practices materially change, the public pages should be updated before that change becomes normal site behavior.
