Part 5 (Privacy Policy)
Article 1 (Scope and Role)
This Part describes how the Company handles personal data and related information in connection with the Service.
The Company acts as the operator of the Service and may engage service providers, processors, payment providers, hosting providers, analytics providers, and similar partners to support operation of the Service.
Article 2 (Data We Collect)
The Company may collect information that users provide directly, such as account credentials, profile information, display name, username, bio, images, country information, support messages, report text, and payment-related information required for the relevant transaction or payout flow.
The Company may also collect activity and system data such as posts, messages, reactions, blocks, mutes, follows, bookmarks, searches, moderation events, purchase history, payout setup status, device data, crash logs, usage logs, and similar technical or operational information.
Some information may be received from third parties, including payment providers, payout providers, authentication providers, app platforms, analytics services, and content or data providers used in connection with the Service.
Article 3 (Publicly Visible Information)
The Service may publicly display information such as usernames, display names, avatars, public profile text, origin country code, badges, public posts, public metrics, rankings, and similar information that the Service designates as public-facing.
Subscriber-only or restricted-access content may be visible only to users who satisfy the relevant access conditions designated by the Service.
Points balance, payment details, legal verification documents, support records, and similar account information are not intended to be publicly visible except where the user chooses to disclose them or where disclosure is required by law.
Article 4 (How We Use Data)
The Company may use collected information to provide and operate the Service, authenticate users, maintain profiles, process purchases, support points and Pro features, operate subscriptions, support payouts, calculate metrics, rank content, investigate abuse, provide support, improve the Service, and comply with law.
The Company may also use information for safety review, fraud prevention, incident response, performance monitoring, service development, analytics, and business operations reasonably related to the Service.
The Company does not state in this Part that personal data will be broadly shared with third parties for those third parties' own independent marketing purposes, except where the user separately agrees or applicable law otherwise permits.
Article 5 (Automated Safety Review and Moderation Signals)
The Company may use automated or semi-automated tools to flag, score, or review content, messages, reports, or account activity for safety, moderation, spam, fraud, or integrity purposes.
Such tools may include profanity detection, risk signals, duplication checks, account linkage signals, or similar safety-supporting methods.
The Company does not promise that all harmful content or all violations will be detected, reviewed, or prevented, and the use of safety tools does not mean that the Service is comprehensively monitored at all times.
Article 6 (Sharing and Disclosure)
The Company may share information with service providers and partners who help operate the Service, including hosting, payment, payout, analytics, authentication, customer-support, legal, security, and anti-fraud providers.
The Company may disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, enforce these Terms, protect rights and safety, investigate abuse, or support dispute resolution.
The Company may also share information between Company-controlled services, personnel, or systems where reasonably necessary for operation, compliance, or security.
Article 7 (Aggregated and De-Identified Information)
The Company may create, use, analyze, and share aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information for analytics, product improvement, trend analysis, service measurement, business planning, and explanatory materials relating to the Service.
The Company will seek not to use aggregated or de-identified information in a way that intentionally identifies a specific individual as personal data where the information is presented as aggregated or de-identified.
Article 8 (Retention)
The Company may retain account, content, moderation, payment, and technical records for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Part, including operation, fraud prevention, dispute handling, legal compliance, security, and recordkeeping.
The Company is not required to publish a fixed retention period for every category of information in these Terms, and actual retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the legal or operational reason for retention.
Deleted or hidden content may remain in backups, audit trails, safety systems, or internal records for a reasonable period even after it is no longer visible to users.
Article 9 (Security and International Processing)
The Company uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information handled through the Service, but no system can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure.
Information may be processed, stored, or accessed in countries other than the user's own country, subject to the Company's operational setup and applicable law.
By using the Service, the user understands that international processing may occur where reasonably necessary for operation of the Service.
Article 10 (User Rights, Changes, and Contact)
Users may have rights under applicable law to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain data processing, subject to lawful limitations and verification requirements.
The Company may update this Part from time to time where reasonably necessary for legal, technical, business, or operational reasons. Material changes will be communicated where required by law.
