3. How We Share Your Information
3.1 Public Information

You can control the visibility of individual activities by setting them to private before or after posting.
3.2 With Your Consent

These service providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us and in accordance with this policy.
3.4 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or subpoena). We may also disclose information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, or to investigate fraud.
3.5 Business Transfers
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via in-app notification or email before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
3.6 What We Never Do

Your data is stored on secure servers provided by our cloud infrastructure partners. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:
- Encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest
- Secure authentication via one-time passcodes
- Access controls limiting employee access to user data
- Regular security reviews and updates
While we take reasonable measures to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., resolving disputes, enforcing agreements).
Activity data you have shared publicly may persist in other users' feeds even after account deletion, but will be disassociated from your identity.
