4. Location and Community Privacy
Diaspora Hub may use location-related information to support local discovery and community features.
We aim to limit exposure of precise location information and may instead use:
- approximate location,
- general area,
- city-level signals,
- or other privacy-conscious methods depending on the feature.
However, no system is perfect, and you should use care when sharing personal or location-sensitive information on your profile or through the app.
5. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to:
- provide the Services,
- maintain your account,
- comply with legal obligations,
- resolve disputes,
- enforce agreements,
- and support legitimate business operations.
We may retain some information after account deletion where required or permitted by law, or where necessary for security, fraud prevention, backup, or operational integrity.
6. Your Choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights or choices regarding your information, including the ability to:
- access or update certain account information,
- manage profile visibility,
- manage location permissions,
- opt out of certain communications,
- request deletion of your account or data,
- or contact us with privacy-related questions.
You can also control certain permissions (such as location access) directly through your device settings.

7. Children’s Privacy
Diaspora Hub is not intended for children under 13 (or a higher age where required by applicable law), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate legal basis.
If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are also responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and device.
9. International Users
If you use Diaspora Hub from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.
These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may provide notice through the app, website, or other reasonable means.
Your continued use of Diaspora Hub after the updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means you accept the revised version.
