Policy

Public transparency, private mechanics

Map precision

Signal RVA favors detailed public map context. Sensitive operator mechanics, private notes, and credentials are never published.

Audio

Public audio playback is limited to official embeds or official listen links. Signal RVA does not publish captured cookies, private playback URLs, or unlicensed archives.

Private mechanics

Public pages show categories, freshness, and confidence. Collection endpoints, scraping mechanics, vendor keys, and worker recipes stay private.

AI usage

No AI provider is called in the public request path. Public pages use cached upstream briefs, deterministic formatting, and pre-generated assets.
