Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it when you use this site. By using the site, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.
1. Information we collect
We may collect information you provide directly, such as usernames, account details, email addresses, profile information, avatars, bios, and content you submit through the site. We may also collect technical and usage information, such as IP addresses, browser and device data, cookies, feature usage, and technical logs or moderation-related records.
2. Guest and registered users
Some users may access parts of the site as guests, while others may register accounts. Registered users may be required to provide an email address and username. Guests may still have technical information collected, including IP-related and device-related data, for security, moderation, and operational purposes.
3. How we use your information
We use information to operate the site, provide chat and profile features, manage accounts, enforce rules, investigate abuse, reduce spam and ban evasion, improve performance, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations. We may also use information to respond to reports, appeals, or support requests.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep users logged in, remember preferences, improve performance, and support security and abuse prevention. Because this site uses cookies, users may be shown a cookie notice or consent message where required.
5. IP addresses and abuse prevention
We may collect and use IP addresses and related technical information to protect the site and its users, including for security, moderation, anti-spam measures, ban enforcement, VPN/proxy detection, rate limiting, and abuse investigations. IP information may be visible to authorized staff, such as the owner, administrators, or super administrators, where necessary for moderation and security purposes.
6. User content and media
Profile content, avatars, bios, GIFs, videos, links, and uploaded media may be processed and displayed as part of the service. Some media or embed features may rely on third-party services. You should not submit private, sensitive, or confidential information through public site features.
7. Third-party services
We may use third-party services to support features such as GIF search, video embeds, anti-abuse tools, analytics, hosting, or other site functions. These services may receive certain technical information as needed to provide their functions. Their handling of data is governed by their own privacy policies and terms.
8. Sharing of information
We do not sell personal information in the ordinary course of operating this site. We may share information with service providers, hosting providers, security vendors, or legal authorities when reasonably necessary to operate the site, investigate abuse, protect users, enforce rules, respond to legal requests, or comply with applicable law.
9. Data retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, enforce rules, investigate abuse, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain security. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected.
10. Account security
We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no online service can guarantee absolute security. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and for using the site safely.
11. Age restriction and safety
This site is intended for users age 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from users under 16. Safety-related information may be used to investigate grooming, exploitation, predatory behavior, impersonation, scams, ban evasion, or other harmful conduct. We may preserve or disclose relevant information where reasonably necessary to protect users, enforce rules, or comply with law.
12. Your choices
You may be able to update or remove certain profile information through your account settings. You may also control some cookie settings through your browser. If you wish to ask about account data, moderation-related records, or privacy concerns, contact site staff through the available support method.
13. California privacy notice
If you are a California resident, you may have rights under applicable California privacy law regarding access to, deletion of, or correction of certain personal information, subject to exceptions and verification requirements. Some information may be retained where needed for security, fraud prevention, moderation, legal compliance, or operational purposes.
14. Policy changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
