3. How We Share Your Information

Publicly visible information. Your username, profile picture, bio, published videos, comments, and social media links are visible to all visitors of the Site.

Service providers. We share information with third-party vendors who help us operate the Site, such as hosting, email delivery, content delivery, and video processing providers. These vendors are only given access to information necessary to perform their services and may not use it for other purposes.

Advertising partners. If advertising is introduced, we may share limited information with advertising partners to deliver and measure ads. We will not sell your personal information to third parties.

Legal requirements. We may disclose your information when required by law or in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with legal process, protect our rights, or ensure the safety of our users.

Business transfers. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site and keep you logged in. In the future, we may also use cookies for advertising and analytics purposes. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, but this may prevent you from using certain features of the Site.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Site's services. Certain data — such as legal notices and abuse prevention records — may be retained longer regardless of account status. When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information except where retention is required by law.
