How FilteredFeedback Works

Overview

FilteredFeedback is an anonymous feedback platform that protects recipients from hurtful comments while maintaining complete privacy through end-to-end encryption. Here's how we achieve both goals simultaneously.

The Process

1

You Create Your Account

Sign in with your email (magic link). We generate a key pair in your browser and store only your public key. Your private key is shown once; you can optionally encrypt and save it locally with a password for convenience.

2

Share Your Feedback Link

You get a unique link like app.com/f/yournamethat anyone can use to send you anonymous feedback.

3

Someone Submits Feedback

If AI filtering is enabled, the text is processed in memory by the AI to separate potentially hurtful content. If AI filtering is disabled, the feedback is encrypted immediately in the sender's browser with your public key before it reaches our servers.

4

Immediate Encryption

The feedback and any AI reasoning are encrypted using your public key. Once encrypted, only you can decrypt it with your private key. Your password (if you set one) only protects the private key saved in your browser.

5

You Read When Ready

Log into your dashboard and enter your encryption password to decrypt and read your feedback. Mean comments are separated into a "Maybe Mean" folder you can check when you're emotionally prepared.

Key Privacy Features

End-to-End Encryption

Your feedback is encrypted with your public key. We never have access to your private key. A password you choose can encrypt your private key locally for convenience.

No Raw Storage

Feedback text exists unencrypted only in memory during processing. It's never logged, never saved to disk unencrypted.

Complete Anonymity

We don't store who sends feedback. Note that infrastructure providers (host/LLM/email) may log network metadata (e.g., IP) per their policies. We do not use it to identify senders.

Open Source

Our code is public. You can verify exactly how we handle your data and even run your own instance if you prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I forget my encryption password?

Unfortunately, your feedback cannot be recovered. This is by design - it ensures that even we cannot access your feedback. Make sure to store your password securely.

Can you read my feedback?

No. Your feedback is encrypted with your public key immediately after AI processing. We don't have your private key (derived from your password), so we cannot decrypt it.

How does the AI filter work?

The AI analyzes feedback in memory to determine if it's constructive or potentially hurtful. You can customize the filtering criteria in your settings. The AI's decision and reasoning are encrypted along with the feedback.

Is the feedback truly anonymous?

Yes. We don't store any information about who submits feedback. No IP addresses, browser information, or any other identifying data is stored.
