Security, source safety, and abuse prevention

VINI separates ordinary contact, contributor submissions, sensitive-source first contact, copyright notices, and right-of-reply requests so records can be reviewed without weakening source safety.

Security and support contact: support@vininews.com

Consent before analyticsOptional tracking waits for reader consent; essential security and account continuity remain separate.

Challenge-gated formsPublic intake can require challenge fields to reduce spam, impersonation, and automated abuse.

Scoped account accessContributor and support actions stay behind account, role, and review workflows where applicable.

Separate review routesCorrections, copyright notices, named responses, and source-protection requests use different intake paths.

Public web forms are not a secure drop

Do not send credentials, restricted records, sealed files, private identifiers, source-identifying details, classified material, or unlawfully obtained documents through routine forms. Start with the source-protection route.
