Privacy & retention

Your approved posts, display name, comments and processed attachments are public. Your password hash, recovery-code hash, provider-verification contact and appeals remain private. We do not collect your phone number for community accounts. Account deletion immediately hides your submissions and revokes sessions. After seven days, a scheduled cleanup erases account identifiers, original text, private cases and stored uploads. Minimal empty records may remain to keep other conversations intact. Service backups age out on the infrastructure backup schedule. Closed appeals, closed reports, moderation audit text and notifications expire after 180 days. Open cases are retained until closed. Media originals are deleted from processing space; the community stores only processed copies. No advertisements or advertising pixels run on community pages. Use Account & privacy to export or delete your data, and My appeals to request review of moderation. For other privacy requests use Contact.
