However, no system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

  • Ensuring submissions do not contain others' personal information without consent
  • Understanding that public submissions may be permanent
  • Being aware that anonymous reports may still be identifiable through content details
  • Complying with applicable privacy laws in their jurisdiction

8. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to provide Platform services. User-generated content may remain on the Platform indefinitely as part of our community database. Account information is retained while accounts remain active. Users may request account deletion, though public content may remain for community continuity.

9. Third-Party Services

Our Platform may use third-party services for:

  • Database hosting and management
  • File storage and delivery

These services have their own privacy policies and data handling practices.

  • Objection to certain data processing

Note: Public submissions may remain on the Platform even after account deletion to maintain community continuity and platform integrity.

11. Legal Disclosure

We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect users' safety, investigate fraud, or comply with legal obligations. We will attempt to notify users of such disclosures when legally permitted.

12. Children's Privacy

Our Platform is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

14. Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Modified" date. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

15. Contact Information
