Primal advanced search queries are stored temporarily for search performance analysis and optimization reasons. We used to keep this data for 30 days. Today we reduced it to 48 hours. The queries do include the npub of the user requesting the query because search results are user-dependent.

Primal has no business interest in using this data beyond improving the product for our users.

Who sees this data? Can other users see it ?

No, other users can't see it. It is temporarily accessible only by our backend engineers.

Why not figure out a way to do it locally so as to respect the user and their privacy? Otherwise what's even the point of building it in Nostr? These things have existed in privacy invasive software forever already.

And one of these guys needs a fat bitchslap right after getting back from holiday 😂

So trust me bro?

this is unfair

of course you have to trust

but no one is forcing you to use their service

user dependent search results is a little sus but can also be justifiable

Good to know. It has been disappointing to see certain Primal team members react aggressively against people that wanted to know what was going on.

I would recommend disclosing this information to your users upon usage of these fewtures and in your app privacy sheet, in which you must disclose information such as disgnostics collected.

We have ever discuss about it, but no conclusion (see all the thread) :

You’re such a fucking hypocrite 🤣

Does primal have an email address? I want to send you my private keys. Finally someone to trust.

Appreciate the updates! LFG

I figured that data was for improving the search. No one’s search compares to primal and this explains why. Glad you’re reducing storage time.

Much ado about nothing

Thanks for the update and explanation. Haters gonna hate. 🫡

I’m a hater cause shit is crashing every second day 😂

😭 Hasn’t crashed on me in a loooong time. You on the latest update or an old version?

You see I don’t have a habit to buy a new smartphone yearly so that must be on me that these mofos can’t make it run on an old OS. You know what’s nice tho.. the rest of apps including Nostr apps work flawlessly 😆

Makes sense when searching disparate relays already has so much latency. Fair play, and thanks for not ignoring the critics

🫡❤️‍🔥

Let's hope so. Primal top until now. Don't play tricks on it in the future

Thank you for the transparency, but we're gonna need to see some code & more evidence verifying this. 🤙
