We collect information you provide directly, such as your username, email address, profile details, and any content you submit (posts, replies, messages, or uploads). We also collect limited technical data automatically, including IP address, browser type, device information, and activity logs, to ensure platform security and performance.

The Service uses cookies and similar technologies to maintain login sessions, remember preferences, and gather anonymized usage statistics. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect functionality.

Data Sharing and Storage

We may share data with trusted service providers (such as hosting or email services) strictly for operating the platform. Data is stored securely and access is limited to authorized personnel only.

Data Retention and Rights

We retain personal data only as long as necessary. You may request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information, subject to legal or operational requirements.
