Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 19, 2026

Judge Me Softly is a digital platform operated by WeGo Nation LLC (“Judge Me Softly,” “WeGo Nation,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, processed, and protected when you visit JudgeMeSoftly.com, submit a case, vote on a case, update a case, contact us, or otherwise use the website and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

Judge Me Softly is a free entertainment and community-perspective platform. We may support the Service through advertising, including advertising provided by Google and other advertising partners.

1. Our Privacy Approach

Judge Me Softly is designed to allow people to share everyday situations without unnecessarily identifying themselves or the other people involved.

When you file a case:

• We ask you to use nicknames rather than real names.
• You should not include addresses, phone numbers, personal email addresses, workplaces, schools, social-media handles, or other unnecessary identifying information.
• Submitted cases may be reviewed before publication.
• We may edit or remove identifying information before publication.
• Your identity is not intentionally displayed with your case.
• You may receive a private key or similar identifier allowing you to return to your case or provide an update.

Public anonymity does not mean that absolutely no technical information is processed.

Like most websites, Judge Me Softly, WeGo Nation LLC, hosting providers, security providers, analytics providers, and advertising providers may process information such as IP addresses, browser information, cookies, device identifiers, and related technical information.

Judge Me Softly should not be treated as a confidential, privileged, or secret communication service.

2. Information You Provide

Case Submissions

When you submit a case, we may receive:

• The case title or question;
• Your description of what happened;
• Your description of another person's perspective;
• The question presented to the jury;
• The selected category;
• The requested duration of the case;
• Updates or additional information;
• Nicknames you choose to use; and
• Other information you voluntarily include.

Please avoid including information that could unnecessarily identify you or another person.

Votes and Interactions

When you participate as a juror, we may process information relating to your interaction with a case, such as:

• Your selected verdict;
• The case associated with your vote;
• Technical identifiers intended to prevent duplicate voting or manipulation; and
• The approximate date or time of the interaction.

We may use cookies, browser storage, session identifiers, IP-based controls, or similar technologies to protect voting integrity and prevent abuse.

Private Case Keys

Judge Me Softly may provide a private key, token, or similar identifier that allows a submitter to update or otherwise interact with a case.

We may store that identifier for the purpose of operating the Service.

Keep your private key secure. Anyone who obtains it may potentially be able to use functions associated with your case.

Communications With Us

If you contact Judge Me Softly or WeGo Nation LLC regarding the Service, we may receive your name, email address, and any information you choose to include in your message.

Communications may be retained when reasonably necessary to:

• Respond to you;
• Resolve disputes;
• Review privacy or safety concerns;
• Investigate misuse;
• Maintain business records; or
• Comply with legal obligations.

3. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit JudgeMeSoftly.com, our systems or service providers may automatically receive technical information including:

• Referring website or page;
• Pages visited;

This information may be used to operate the website, prevent abuse, diagnose technical problems, maintain security, understand general usage, and improve the Service.

We do not intentionally publish technical information that identifies the person who submitted a case.

4. Public Cases

Judge Me Softly is built around publicly readable stories.

If a case is accepted and published, information contained in that case may become publicly available.

Public information may include:

• The case title;
• The submitted story;
• The perspective of another person as described by the submitter;
• The question presented to the jury;
• Category information;
• Vote totals;

Published cases may remain available after voting ends.

Other people may copy, quote, screenshot, discuss, index, archive, or redistribute information appearing publicly.

Do not submit information you would not be comfortable having publicly available.

5. Clerk Review and Redaction

Cases may be reviewed before publication.

We may:

• Replace names with nicknames;
• Remove identifying details;
• Generalize locations;
• Remove contact information;
• Remove employer, school, or organization names;
• Remove usernames;
• Generalize dates or circumstances;
• Correct formatting or obvious grammatical errors;
• Shorten repetitive information;
• Remove inappropriate or legally sensitive material; or
• Decline to publish a submission.

This review is intended to improve privacy, readability, safety, and compliance with our rules.

It does not guarantee that every identifying detail will be detected.

Users remain responsible for avoiding unnecessary personal information when submitting cases.
