3. How We Share Your Information

3.1 Public Content

Content you post to public areas of the Service (such as the public wall) is visible to other users and may be indexed by search engines. You should consider carefully what information you share publicly.

3.2 Other Users

Your profile information, posts, and activity may be visible to other users of the Service according to your privacy settings. Direct messages are only visible to you and the recipient(s).

3.3 Service Providers

We may share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf (such as hosting, email delivery, and security monitoring), but only to the extent necessary for them to perform those services.

3.4 We Will Not Share Your Data

We will not sell, trade, rent, or voluntarily share your personal information with any third party under any circumstances. Period.

We collect and retain only the minimum data necessary to operate the Service. Data degrades over time and is subject to routine, automated maintenance. We make no guarantees about data availability beyond what the Service requires to function.

If we receive a legal request for user data, we will notify affected users wherever legally possible so they can challenge it themselves. We will not proactively share data with any third party.

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Data Storage

Your data is stored on servers we operate and control. We do not use third-party cloud storage providers for user data.

4.2 Security Measures

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:

  • Encrypted password storage (one-way hashing).
  • HTTPS encryption for data in transit.
  • Regular security updates and monitoring.
  • Access controls limiting employee access to user data.

4.3 No Guarantee

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
