No invisible material changes
A material change to the core feed, privacy defaults, public metrics, advertising, paid reach, data portability or account deletion will be dated, explained and added to the history on this page.
Public governance baseline · version 1.0
Founder-led. Publicly accountable.
Sovereignty should describe real control, not branding. This page states who decides today, which product boundaries Cindra commits to and what has not yet been legally established.
Effective 12 August 2026The current reality
Cindra is currently founder-led. The founder decides product direction and operations. Cindra is not member-owned, has no member board or member veto, and no foundation, cooperative or steward-ownership structure has yet been established. We will not describe Cindra as user-owned until enforceable legal rights exist.
This clarity is a starting point, not a finished governance model. Future ownership and stewardship structures will be evaluated as the network and its responsibilities grow.
Commitments that apply now
Explain before changing
Whenever safety, security or law does not require immediate action, Cindra will explain a material change before it takes effect and describe its effect on members.
Human agency remains visible
The core feed stays chronological, goals start private, authored intent is not inferred for reach, and recognition does not become a public popularity score.
Leaving remains possible
Members can export their Cindra data locally and delete their account through self-service. Product changes may not quietly remove these exit routes.
Moderation and control
Today, a private fixed-reason report does not automatically sanction a member, hide a contribution or rerank the feed. A formal platform-wide sanctions and appeals system is not yet operational. Before Cindra introduces platform-wide sanctions, it will publish the grounds, human review path and appeal route—unless immediate action is required for safety, security or law.
Any completed change of control will be disclosed publicly with an explanation of what it means for these commitments. Confidential negotiations cannot always be announced in advance.
Change history
First public governance baseline: current founder control, product commitments, change transparency, moderation limits and the absence of enforceable member ownership rights.
