Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 6, 2026

This Privacy Policy governs the collection, use, and protection of user information in the service. Account identifiers, technical information, moderation data, and interaction history are collected. The data is used to operate the service, communicate with the user, and perform analytics. Information is shared with third parties only in cases established by law or with the user’s consent. Data is retained for the period necessary and protected within reasonable limits. The user bears responsibility for the risks associated with transferring data. The Administration may amend the Policy without notice — consent is deemed accepted upon further use of the service.

• analyzing and improving the Service.

4. Cookies

4.2. The Service does not use analytics or advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics counters.

5. Sharing Information with Third Parties

5.1. The Administration does not share the data it receives with third parties, except in cases where:

• Cloudflare — traffic delivery and protection;

6. Data Storage and Protection

6.1. Data is stored for the period necessary to achieve the processing purposes.

6.3. Retention periods: the moderation journal — join request and message decisions — is kept according to the User’s plan, from 7 to 365 days; email confirmation links remain valid for 24 hours after issue; the account profile and settings are kept until the account is deleted.

6.4. When an account is deleted, its data — including groups and their moderation history — is erased together with the account. Billing records are retained as required by payment providers.

7. User Rights

7.1. The User can:

• change their name, email, and password in the Profile; changing the email requires re-confirmation;
• request a copy of their data by email at [email protected];
• delete the account and all data — by writing to support; groups and moderation history are removed together with the account;
• send any other data request to [email protected] — answered within 30 days.

8. Disclaimer of Liability

8.1. The User understands and agrees that transmitting information over the internet always involves risks.

8.2. The Administration is not liable for the loss, theft, or disclosure of data if it occurred through the fault of third parties or of the User themselves.
