3. How we use personal information
We use personal information to provide, maintain, personalize, and improve the service; manage accounts; host and moderate user content; send service and security messages; prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents; comply with law; enforce agreements; and protect rights, safety, and property.
4. Legal bases for processing in the EEA/UK
Where GDPR or similar laws apply, we process personal information as necessary to perform our contract with you, based on legitimate interests in operating and securing the service, with consent where required, and to comply with legal obligations.
5. How we disclose personal information
We may disclose personal information to service providers; to other users or the public based on your sharing settings; to administrators and moderators; to comply with law or legal process; and in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, bankruptcy, reorganization, or sale of assets. We do not sell personal information for money. California residents may contact us to exercise CCPA/CPRA rights and opt-out rights where applicable.
6. Retention, security, and transfers
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, comply with law, and preserve security and audit records. We use reasonable safeguards, but no system is completely secure. We may process and store personal information in the United States and other countries using appropriate safeguards where required.
