Public Data Privacy Policy

1. The Core Principle: Public by Default

Our platform is designed for public sharing and open visibility.

• Public Visibility: Almost all data you create, post, upload, or share here is public by default.
• Search Engine Indexing: Your public profile, posts, comments, and media can be viewed, searched, and indexed by third parties, including external search engines (like Google) and internet archiving tools.
• No Expectation of Privacy: Assume that anything you post on this platform will be permanently visible to the general public.

2. Information That Is Made Public

When you use our services, the following information is broadcast to the public:

• Profile Data: Your username, profile picture, bio, and any links you add to your profile.
• User Content: Your posts, articles, comments, replies, likes, shares, and uploaded media.
• Interaction Data: Your follower lists, who you follow, and public interactions with other accounts.

3. Information We Keep Private

We do not make everything public. We protect your account backend data and do not share it with the general public. This includes:

• Account Credentials: Your password and account security settings.
• Contact Information: Your registration email address and phone number (unless you explicitly choose to display them on your profile).
• Payment Details: Billing information and transaction history used for paid features.

4. Sharing with Third Parties

Because your content is public, third parties can access and use it.

• API Access: We may provide application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow developers, researchers, or companies to read your public data.
• Service Providers: We share your private backend data (like email and billing) only with trusted partners who help run our platform (e.g., cloud hosting, payment processors).

5. Data Retention and Deletion

Account Deletion: You can delete your account or specific posts at any time.

The "Internet Footprint" Exception: While we will remove the data from our live servers immediately, we cannot control, delete, or recall copies of your public posts that were already scraped, saved, or indexed by third-party search engines, web archives, or other users.
