Privacy Policy

1. Data Identity & Collection

We leverage modern and secure cloud technologies to provide a high-performance environment. We collect:

• Email: Used for secure authentication and system-critical communications.
• Public Alias: Your chosen community name, stored in our profile database.
• Visual Identity: Profile pictures uploaded to our secure cloud storage.
• Contributions: Posts, comments, and media blocks that form the RFR knowledge base.
• Technical Data: Cookies, IP addresses, and browser headers necessary for performance, security monitoring, and session management.

2. Handling, Storage & Third-Party Disclosure

Your data is processed strictly for community operations. We do not sell or lease your personal information. To maintain system infrastructure, optimized assets and databases are stored and hosted with industry-standard providers:

• Secure Database: Stores your profile metadata, encrypted authentication state, post content (Markdown), and interaction counts.
• Cloud Storage: Hosts your optimized WebP images and media files globally.
• Content Delivery Network: App logic runs globally for low-latency, localized data processing.

3. Security & Access Control

We implement strict database security rules, ensuring that only authenticated creators have edit access to their respective contributions. Authentication is secured via encrypted session tokens exchanged securely between your browser and our servers.

4. Children's Online Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

The RFR ecosystem is strictly designed for and restricted to individuals who are at least 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13, we will immediately delete that information from our servers.

5. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CalOPPA)

Pursuant to California privacy guidelines, California residents are entitled to request access to their collected personal data, obtain details about how their data is shared, and request absolute deletion of their profiles. You may exercise these options directly in your profile settings or by contacting our support team.

6. Data Autonomy & Support Inquiry

You maintain full control over your digital footprint. You can edit or delete your posts, comments, and profile data at any time. For queries regarding your information rights, data storage, or to request manual deletion, please submit an inquiry through our Help Center.
