Privacy policy
Important information about participating in SocialAdPost.
Data collected
Account registration stores your display name, username, email address, and a secure hash of your password. We store profile information and content you choose to publish, including uploaded photos, comments, follows and reports (and legacy group memberships, if applicable). Photos may contain embedded camera or location metadata, so remove sensitive metadata before uploading. We process technical connection information and short-lived hashed login-attempt identifiers for security.
Use of your information
Account data is used to provide the social network, show posts to other visitors, authenticate members, verify email addresses, enable password recovery, detect abuse, and administer the service. Public profile fields and posts can be viewed by other visitors, including nonmembers.
Cookies and third parties
Necessary session cookies maintain login and request security. External offers link to websites outside our control, which may have their own privacy practices. This version does not include advertising or analytics tracking scripts by default. Transactional email providers may process your email address for account confirmation and recovery. When Google reCAPTCHA is enabled, Google may receive information associated with its security verification. If analytics, advertising networks or email services are added later, update these disclosures and implement any applicable consent requirements first.
Retention and rights
Verification and password-reset tokens are stored only for account security, and expire automatically; expired records should be periodically deleted by the operator. Posts and accounts are stored until removed by an administrator or through applicable deletion procedures. You can delete individual posts and comments from your account. For account-access, correction, or deletion requests, contact the website operator through the Contact page. Database backups may retain information for a limited period under the operator’s hosting policies.
Security
Passwords are hashed; sessions and uploads are protected by technical controls. No online service can promise absolute security. The operator should use HTTPS, install security updates, back up the database, and limit administrative access.
Template policy text: the site operator must review, customize, and add their business contact information before public launch.
