Legal Bases for Processing

If you are located in the EEA or UK, we process your personal data under one or more of the following legal bases: (i) your consent, (ii) performance of a contract, (iii) compliance with legal obligations, and (iv) our legitimate interests (such as securing and improving the Service).

User-Generated Content

Content you publish (e.g., posts and reviews) may be publicly visible and may be indexed by search engines or copied by others outside of our control. Please avoid including personal or sensitive information in public posts. Published posts are viewable by both logged-in and public visitors. Removing or deleting content from the Service does not guarantee removal from external sources. We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to moderate or remove content that violates our Terms or applicable law.

Sharing of Information

• Service Providers: We may share limited data with vendors who help us operate the Service (e.g., hosting, database, analytics), subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection safeguards.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information to comply with applicable law, legal processes, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Cookies

We use cookies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and measure performance. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Some parts of the Service may not function properly without cookies.

Data Retention

Please note that even if you delete your account or content, residual copies may remain in our backups for a limited period, after which they will be securely deleted. Public posts may remain visible unless removed or anonymized in accordance with our policies.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to data portability. You may also withdraw consent at any time when processing is based on consent. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed and stored in countries outside your country of residence. We take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place when data is transferred internationally.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and update the "Last updated" date above. Material changes may also be communicated through the Service.
