1. Accounts and Passwords

• To use the Forum, you create an account with a username and password.
• Your password is stored in our system only in encrypted/hashed form. We cannot see your plain-text password.
• Your username may be publicly visible on posts, comments and other activity. Please do not use sensitive personal information as your username.

  • Your posts, replies and any content you choose to share
  • Basic technical logs for security and debugging (e.g. IP address, browser type, timestamps)

We do not deliberately collect your real name, address, phone number or other sensitive data unless you voluntarily post them as part of your content. We do not ask for such data to use the Forum.

3. How We Use and Store Data

• Data is used only to:
  • Provide and maintain the Forum
  • Protect against spam, abuse and security threats
  • Improve performance and fix technical issues
• We do not sell your data and do not share it with third parties for unsolicited marketing.
• We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect stored data, but no system can be 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

4. User Content and Responsibility

• You are solely responsible for the content you post on the Forum.
• You agree not to post:
  • Harassment, threats, hate speech or abusive content
  • Illegal content or calls for illegal activity
  • Copyright-infringing material that you do not have the right to share
  • Spam, scams, malicious links or automated/bot content
• We may, at our sole discretion, remove any content and suspend or delete accounts that violate these rules or harm the community.

5. Service Availability and Disclaimer

• The Forum is currently in beta and may experience bugs, downtime or changes without prior notice.
• We do not guarantee that the Forum will be uninterrupted, error-free or fit for any particular purpose.
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any direct or indirect loss or damage arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Forum, including but not limited to data loss or loss of business.

6. Account Deletion and Data Removal

• You may request deletion of your account. We will make reasonable efforts to delete or anonymise your personal data from our systems within a reasonable time, where technically possible.
• Some content (for example, posts that are part of public discussions) may remain visible in anonymised form to preserve conversation history.

7. Changes to These Terms

• We may update these Terms of Use & Privacy Notice from time to time.
• If we make material changes, we will notify users via the Forum or other appropriate channels.
• Your continued use of the Forum after changes are published means you accept the updated terms.
