Policy

Last Updated: 13/04/2024
This policy is for the BYCOG Direct project, describing how we use information for the services provided on this website and when you interact with us. We think privacy is important, and so are transparent in how we use information. If you have any questions or concerns send an email to us through bycogdirect@gmail.com.

What We Collect:
Account information - username, date you created your account, bio. This information is shared publicly. Other information, such as your email address or password, is not shared publicly. User content - posts, comments, uploaded photos, messages. Your content may comprise text, links, and images, potentially containing personal data depending on where you share it. Activity engagement - interactions with content, other users, communities.

How We Process:
When you use the services we may process information. We do not process sensitive personal information. We may receive information from third parties, such as if you create your account with Google or Discord, where we share your already public profile picture, or from integrations. We use technical measures to protect information. However, no method of protection can be perfectly secure so it is impossible to guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access or misuse of your information by hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties.

Why We Process:
To provide, enhance, and manage our services, communicate with you, ensure security and fraud prevention, and comply with legal requirements. We don’t want to process information without a valid reason. We share information with specific third parties and in particular situations.

Rights:
Depending on your geographical location, privacy laws may grant you specific rights concerning your personal information. You can exercise your rights by visiting https://bycog.direct/profile or by contacting us directly. We are committed to addressing and fulfilling any requests in accordance with relevant data protection regulations. As we (hopefully) grow and develop the website to be better and provide more services, we endeavor to be transparent with changes. We will notify you when we make them, sharing why we are making them and letting you delete your data if that is not how you want your data to be used. If you have any questions or concerns send an email to us through bycogdirect@gmail.com.
