We may use Exposure App activity data to determine how content is shown, ranked, distributed, recommended, moderated, or limited within the app. This may include votes, credits, views, follows, content status, profile status, and user behavior.

We may also use app activity data to protect platform integrity, prevent abuse, detect artificial engagement, investigate suspicious behavior, and enforce our Terms of Use.

You should not upload content that you do not want displayed, reviewed, stored, moderated, or used in connection with the Exposure App.

7. COOKIES, PIXELS, AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

We may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, local storage, session storage, analytics tools, advertising pixels, and similar technologies to operate our services, keep users logged in, remember preferences, measure performance, improve functionality, detect abuse, and understand marketing effectiveness.

These technologies may collect information about your device, browser, pages viewed, clicks, interactions, referring pages, app usage, and email engagement. You can remove or reject cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may affect the availability or functionality of the site or app.

8. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services, operate accounts, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, and protect the security and integrity of our platform.

Exposure App content and activity data may be retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period after deactivation, deletion, suspension, or termination where needed for legal, security, moderation, audit, backup, or business purposes.

When information is no longer required, we may delete it, anonymize it, or retain it in a form that no longer reasonably identifies you.

9. SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to help protect personal information. These may include access controls, secure servers, encryption where appropriate, monitoring, limited employee or contractor access, and other reasonable security measures.

However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

For users in Canada, Canadian private-sector privacy law generally requires organizations to identify purposes, obtain meaningful consent, limit collection/use/disclosure, safeguard information, and provide access rights. Meaningful consent requires clear information about what is collected, why, and with whom it is shared.
