How we handle data responsibly

This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control your data. Our approach centers consent, transparency, and community-defined safeguards for cultural materials.

Data collection

We collect only the information you intentionally provide when joining circles, subscribing to updates, or submitting content. We do not purchase third-party profiles.

Media uploads remain yours. We request explicit permissions before featuring them beyond the original context.

Usage & retention

Data powers core features like event registration, community safety review, and content curation. We keep records only as long as they serve agreed purposes and then archive or delete securely.

Consent & control

You can update preferences, request exports, or ask for deletion at any time. We honor community-specific consent signals for sensitive cultural materials.

Security

We apply encryption in transit, role-based access for moderators, and periodic audits. Community moderators receive guidance on handling cultural data ethically.

Additional details

Your controls and our commitments

Your rights

Access, correct, export, or delete your data at any time. Requests tied to cultural sensitivity are prioritized for faster handling.

Consent refresh

We re-confirm consent for re-use, translation, or distribution of cultural materials. We avoid algorithmic amplification without context notes.

Third parties

We do not sell data. Limited processors (email delivery, analytics) operate under data protection agreements and minimum data principles.
