1. WHO THIS APPLIES TO

This Policy applies to (a) content creators and submitters who hold accounts or submit content, including parents or legal guardians who submit on behalf of a minor, and (b) visitors and viewers who browse or consume content without an account.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

(b) From visitors and viewers: information collected automatically, such as IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, referring website, and similar technical data, through cookies and comparable technologies.

(c) We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Where content involves a minor, the relevant information is provided by, and consented to by, the minor's parent or legal guardian.

3. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We use information to operate, maintain, and improve the Platform; to display, distribute, and promote content as permitted by our Content Submission Terms; to communicate with creators and submitters; for analytics, security, and fraud prevention; and to comply with legal obligations.

4. CHILDREN AND CHILD-DIRECTED CONTENT (COPPA)

For content designated or reasonably determined to be directed to children under 13, we limit our collection and use of personal information, and we disable personalized advertising, behavioral tracking, and certain interactive features, consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). A parent or legal guardian may review the personal information associated with their minor, request its deletion, or refuse further collection by contacting us at [CONTACT EMAIL].

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site operation and, with your consent, for analytics and other purposes.

We share information with service providers and processors who perform functions on our behalf under contractual confidentiality obligations; when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security; and in connection with a merger, acquisition, or other business transfer. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising in connection with child-directed content.

7. DATA RETENTION

We retain information for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy and as required by applicable law. Records of consent and acceptance of our terms may be retained even after content is removed.

8. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (which we do not do).
