What this site keeps about you, who can see it, and how to have it removed.
Last updated November 13, 2026.
What the site keeps
- Your name, personal email, office and role.
- When you last signed in.
- What you send: messages to officers, steward requests, shout-outs, posts and comments.
- Your profile: your name and office, plus a photo and a few lines about you if you add them. You can hide it at any time.
- Photos you add to a post or your profile. Location and camera details are taken out before they're saved.
- Reports you make about a post, comment or shout-out, and a log of what officers removed and why.
- Your daily word results: the date, your office and how many guesses it took.
What it never asks for or keeps
- Your IRS email, employee number, Social Security number or anything about taxpayers.
- Advertising trackers. Nothing about you is sold or shared with advertisers.
Who can see what
| Information | Who can see it |
|---|---|
| Your name and office | Chapter officers. Signed in members see them on posts and comments you write, and on your profile and in the directory unless you hide your profile. Public pages never show a member's name. |
| Your personal email | Chapter officers only. |
| Steward requests | The steward handling your request. Not other officers, not your office vice president, not other members. |
| Other messages to the chapter | The officer or office vice president the topic goes to. |
| Shout-outs and member posts | All signed in members, after an officer approves them. |
| Comments | All signed in members, as soon as you post them. |
| Your profile and photo | Signed in members, unless you hide your profile. Chapter officers always. |
| Reports you make | The office vice president and chapter officers who handle them. Never the member you reported. |
| The removal log | Office vice presidents for their own office, and chapter officers. It records what kind of item was removed, why and by whom, not the removed words. |
| Daily word results | Members see each office's average only. No one's name or score is shown. |
No one at the IRS has access to this site's accounts or messages. This is the website of NTEU Chapter 8, a labor union, and not an IRS or government website.
How long it's kept
- Daily word results: 30 days.
- Messages to officers: until the question is closed, then one year.
- Steward requests: as long as the stewards need them for your case.
- Reports: one year after an officer closes them.
- The removal log: two years.
- Anything an officer removes: deleted right away, not archived.
- Your account: until you leave the members area or are no longer a chapter member.
Leaving
Close your account from your account page, or ask an officer. When a member leaves the chapter, an officer closes their account. Either way, your profile, photos, posts, comments and game history are deleted within 30 days. You can also delete any post, comment or shout-out of your own at any time with Delete under it.
