When your account is deleted, we remove your personal information, but some data (such as published content and messages sent to other users) may remain as they are integrated into our system.

For legal compliance and legitimate business purposes, we retain certain data for extended periods as required by law.

How We Share Your Information

We may share your information with:

Service Providers

We work with a limited set of third-party vendors that perform services on our behalf:

• ThriveCart for payment processing
• Google for analytics and advertising services

We only share information with these service providers as necessary to deliver our Services and in accordance with our contractual agreements with them.

Business Transfers

If we sell our business or our company assets are acquired, user data may be among the transferred assets.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information when required by law or to:

• Comply with legal obligations
• Enforce our Terms of Service
• Protect our rights, property, or safety

Advertising Partners

We may share non-personally identifiable information with advertising partners to deliver relevant advertisements. We implement appropriate safeguards to protect your privacy in these exchanges.

Security of Your Information

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data:

• Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption for data transmission
• Secure payment processing (we never have direct access to your credit card information)
• Restricted access to personal information
• Regular security reviews and updates

While we take reasonable measures to protect your data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Public Information

Public Content

When you publish content using our public features, you grant us permission to share this content along with your username. Content marked as “private” will not appear in your public profile but may be accessible to those with a direct link.

Messages and Communications

We store and process messages sent in public and private communications. We scan links to detect malicious content and spam. Recipients of your private messages retain copies even if you delete them from your account.

Third-Party Services

Limited Service Integration

Our platform integrates only three third-party services:

• Google services for analytics and functionality
• ThriveCart for secure payment processing

When using these features, certain data may be processed according to our agreements with these providers. We limit data sharing to only what is necessary to provide the functionality you expect.

Google Services

We use Google analytics services to understand how users interact with our platform. These services collect pseudonymous data about site usage to help us improve performance and user experience. For more information on Google’s data practices, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy.

ThriveCart Payment Processing

For transactions and subscriptions, we use ThriveCart as our payment processor. When making payments, your financial information is provided directly to ThriveCart and we do not have access to your complete payment card details. ThriveCart maintains its own privacy policy which governs how your payment information is handled.
