These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to:

  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Protect our rights, property, or safety
  • Protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public

4. Data Retention

  • Account Data: We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information within 30 days, except as required for legal compliance or legitimate business purposes.
  • Public Content: Threads and comments may be retained to preserve the integrity of public discussions, even after account deletion. Such content may be anonymized.
  • Transaction Records: We retain billing and payment records as required for tax, legal, and accounting purposes.
  • Usage Data: Aggregated and anonymized usage data may be retained indefinitely for analytics and service improvement.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including:

  • Encryption: Data is encrypted in transit using TLS/SSL. Sensitive data is encrypted at rest.

  • Password Security: Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms and are never stored in plain text.

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