Who we share your data with

We do not transfer or sell any private consumer data to external organizations. Data sharing is strictly limited to cases where it is essential for providing our services and where we have legal or contractual obligations.

Necessary for service provision means sharing data only with:

  • Third-party service providers (e.g., cloud storage, payment processors) that help us operate our services. These partners are contractually bound to strict confidentiality and security measures.
  • Legal authorities when required by law, such as in response to valid legal processes like subpoenas or compliance requests.

We conduct regular audits of data-sharing practices to ensure compliance and prevent unauthorized access or misuse of consumer data.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Children’s Privacy

We know the importance of protecting children’s privacy in the interactive world.  We do not use this website to knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen (13) that requires parental notice and consent under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) without such parental consent.  If you are a child under thirteen (13) years of age, you are not permitted to use this website and should not send any information about yourself to us through this website. In the event that we become aware that we have collected personal information from any child, we will dispose of that information, or otherwise treat it, in accordance with COPPA and other applicable laws and regulations.  If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child under the age of thirteen (13) has provided us with personal information without COPPA-required consent, please contact us as indicated in this Privacy Policy. Any California residents under the age of eighteen (18) who have registered to use this website, and who have posted content or information on this website, can request that such information be removed from this website by contacting us and making such a request by sending an email to [email protected]. Any such request should include “California Minor Privacy Rights Request” in the first line of the description, include your name, street address, city, state and ZIP code, and state that you are under 18 years of age, personally posted content on this website you would like to be removed pursuant to your rights under California law, and where the content or information is posted. We will make reasonably good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view or anonymize it so the minor cannot be individually identified. This removal process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive removal. For instance, third parties may have republished the post and archived copies of it may be stored by search engines and others that we do not control.

Compliance with Laws and Protection of Others

To the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable laws, we may disclose your data if we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary or appropriate to: (i) protect or defend the rights, safety or property of ours or third parties, including through the enforcement of this Privacy Policy, our Terms of Use and other applicable agreements and policies; or (ii) comply with legal and regulatory obligations, such as pursuant to government agencies or law enforcement inquiries, subpoenas or court orders). To the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable laws, we have complete discretion in electing to make or not make such disclosures, and to contest or not contest requests for such disclosures, all without notice to you.

Security and Monitoring

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. However, security risk is inherent in Internet, mobile networks, and information technologies, and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

To help protect you and others, we may (but make no commitment to) monitor use of this website, and may collect and use related information as permitted or required by applicable law and not inconsistent with this Privacy Policy or a differing privacy notice we have provided at the point of data collection, including, without limitation, to identify fraudulent activities; prevent abuse of and investigate and/or seek prosecution for any potential threats to or misuse of this website; ensure compliance with our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy; investigate violations of or enforce these agreements; and otherwise to protect our rights and property and users. Monitoring may result in the collection, recording, and analysis of online activity or communications through this website.  If you do not consent to these conditions, discontinue your access to or use of this website.
