|
||
|
||
How your information will be used
|
||
=================================
|
||
|
||
Information you provide to this website may be stored and used to provide services to you.
|
||
|
||
We require an email address to idenitfy the account holder. This will not be shared with
|
||
any other website or service. It is used to send you notifications about your account and
|
||
perform administrative tasks such as resetting your password. You have the option to
|
||
opt-out of all email notifications through your settings.
|
||
|
||
Communication channels created on this website require a name and a photo or avatar. A
|
||
default avatar will be chosen if you do not supply one. The name, avatar, and a link to
|
||
the channel webpage will be shared with other servers and services in order to refer to
|
||
this identity. The name does not need to be your real name and the photo or avatar does
|
||
not need to resemble you.
|
||
|
||
All other information you supply to this website is optional.
|
||
|
||
As a social communication and cloud storage service, you will usually be using this website
|
||
to share information with others. We provide a range of privacy options to allow you to
|
||
restrict this sharing to only those you choose.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Processing of your information
|
||
==============================
|
||
|
||
Our processing of your information is limited to storing it for you to use. We MAY keep logs
|
||
of activity to help diagnose software issues and to maintain security of the system against
|
||
intrusion. These logs are routinely deleted after a few days.
|
||
|
||
We MAY (if you have provided this permission) try to suggest frendships or connections based
|
||
on analysing publicly available information about your connections. This is currently the most
|
||
advanced data "processing" performed at this website. You may restrict access to this information
|
||
if this processing is undesired.
|
||
|
||
If supplied, we MAY use your gender to formulate text messages in your native language, for
|
||
instance "Bob commented on HIS post."
|
||
|
||
In all other cases, your data is stored under your desired privacy policy and to the best
|
||
of our ability is only shared with those who you have elected to share it with.
|
||
|
||
We do not share your private information with third parties or analyse your behaviour or personal
|
||
characteristics. We have no advertisements or business relationships with advertisers.
|
||
|
||
We MAY be asked or forced to divulge information provided by you in response to legitimate
|
||
criminal and legal proceedings. Where possible we will notify you if this happens.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Access to your information
|
||
==========================
|
||
|
||
Some communications are shared with other websites. Those using the same software will usually
|
||
have similar privacy policies.
|
||
|
||
|
||
You may be shown embedded videos and provided links to visit other websites as part of your
|
||
day-to-day activities using this website. This MAY expose you to monitoring by external services, such
|
||
as (but not limited to) Facebook, Twitter, and Google. Each website operator is allowed to configure
|
||
whether or not embedded content is permitted.
|
||
|
||
Further access to your personal data and stored files is under your control.
|
||
|
||
Our storage of your data is provided under your implied consent through your continued use of
|
||
the service. You may withdraw this consent at any time and on account deletion we will remove
|
||
all data which belongs to you. The process of deletion may take several days as we also make a good faith
|
||
effort to delete it from any internetworked websites that have been provided a copy.
|
||
|
||
|
||
All data and files stored for a communications channel are available for you to
|
||
download for either archival puposes or to transfer to another compatible website.
