Privacy & Submission Policy

How Gateway Materials Are Handled.

This page supports the gateway by explaining the practical handling standards around confidentiality, upload security, submission logs, and review workflow.

Confidentiality and Data Handling

Submitted files are routed through a server-backed upload endpoint, checked for type and size, and stored outside the public site directory. Access is limited to the operational workflow around gateway review.

Submission Logs

Administrative logs are recorded for each submission so that receipt, status, and handling events can be traced without exposing uploaded files publicly.

Spam and Abuse Protection

A honeypot field is enabled by default. CAPTCHA is reserved for production scenarios where additional friction is needed, rather than being forced into every submission flow from the start.

Validation and Security

Accepted file types and upload size limits are enforced server-side. The recommended production stack also includes malware scanning on uploads and security headers at the hosting layer.
