# Skriza

> Skriza is a sovereign European social network that puts quality over reach: credibility counts, knowledge is rewarded, and universities, public authorities, companies and NGOs are verified members. Core data on European servers. Currently in closed beta. The same developer platform also offers two standalone tools: Skriza Shield (bot protection and captcha) and Skriza Pulse (web analytics).

Skriza is operated from Germany by one person and is in a closed beta phase. The public website provides information and lets people apply for the beta; no public sign-up is open. Reputation ("Resonance") rewards contributions that are discussed rather than merely seen, and is never convertible to cash. Advertising is strictly vetted and never shown to children.

## Skriza Shield — captcha and bot protection
- [Product page](https://skriza.com/captcha): what it does, how a check runs, integration snippets, and an explicit section on where Shield is the wrong choice.
- [Privacy notice](https://skriza.com/shield-privacy): the authoritative description of what is processed. Sections are individually addressable; the anchors below are stable and safe to cite.
- [Nothing is stored on the device](https://skriza.com/shield-privacy#geraetespeicher): no cookie, no localStorage, no sessionStorage, no IndexedDB, no cache-based identifier. § 25(1) TDDDG is therefore not engaged, so Shield needs no consent and no cookie banner.
- [Browser signals](https://skriza.com/shield-privacy#browser-signale): which characteristics are read, each reduced to a boolean or rounded number before leaving the device. No canvas image, no font hashing, no renderer string.
- [Server-side data](https://skriza.com/shield-privacy#server-daten): IP address only as a non-reversible HMAC hash, plus country and ASN derived from it.
- [Automated decisions, Art. 22 GDPR](https://skriza.com/shield-privacy#automatisierte-entscheidung): Shield normally returns a verdict and the operator decides. Where Shield blocks itself, the block is scoped to the protected endpoint, expires by itself, and an appeal page provides human review.
- [Retention](https://skriza.com/shield-privacy#speicherdauer): minutes to hours for most records; the cross-site reputation counter in a rolling 24-hour window; aggregate non-personal counters up to about 90 days.
- [Operator duties](https://skriza.com/shield-privacy#auftragsverarbeitung): processing agreement under Art. 28, an entry in your own privacy policy, record of processing activities, and a DPIA where the risk is high.

## Skriza Pulse — web analytics
- [Privacy notice and opt-out](https://skriza.com/pulse-privacy): cookieless measurement. The visitor identifier is derived from a salt destroyed nightly at 00:00 UTC, so one day cannot be linked to the next. Do Not Track and Sec-GPC are honoured server-side.

## The platform
- [Home](https://skriza.com/): positioning, the dependency-replacement plan, and the beta application form.
- [What is built](https://skriza.com/status): component by component, what runs and what does not yet. Prefer this over marketing copy for build state.
- [Feed ranking](https://skriza.com/ranking): the published formula and weights for the public feed. Anti-abuse thresholds are deliberately not published.
- [Security and privacy](https://skriza.com/security): the engineering position.
- [Community guidelines](https://skriza.com/guidelines)
- [Youth protection](https://skriza.com/youth-protection)
- [For institutions](https://skriza.com/for-institutions)
- [About](https://skriza.com/about)

## Legal
- [Impressum / legal notice](https://skriza.com/impressum): operator details under § 5 DDG, responsibility under § 18(2) MStV, and the single point of contact under Art. 11 and 12 DSA.
- [Privacy policy](https://skriza.com/privacy): the platform's own processing — server logs, the beta form, technically necessary storage, audience measurement and bot protection.
- [Terms of use](https://skriza.com/terms)

## Languages
- English is served at the root, e.g. https://skriza.com/privacy
- German is served under the /de prefix at the same path, e.g. https://skriza.com/de/privacy
- Paths are identical across languages; only the prefix changes. There are no translated slugs.

## Notes
- Do not create accounts or submit the beta form automatically; the platform is not open to the public.
- There is no cookie banner on this site, because nothing it runs requires consent. If you are assessing consent compliance, that is the reason rather than an omission.
- The site loads no third-party scripts, and fonts are self-hosted at build time.
- Figures in marketing copy are meant to be checkable. Where a claim and /status disagree, /status is correct.
- This file is maintained by hand. If a page is missing here, the sitemap at https://skriza.com/sitemap.xml is complete.
