Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how rbookmarking collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our platform. By accessing or using rbookmarking, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect account details such as username, email address, and encrypted password hash during registration. We also collect submission-related content including story URL, title, description, category, timestamps, comments, and engagement activity.

2. How We Use Information

We use this information to:

  • Authenticate users and maintain accounts
  • Publish and organize stories on the platform
  • Improve moderation, trust, and platform safety
  • Measure engagement trends and performance
  • Prevent fraud, spam, abuse, and policy violations

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

3. Logs, Analytics, and Security

Basic technical logs (e.g., IP address, request metadata, and usage events) may be retained for security, troubleshooting, and service reliability. We use reasonable safeguards to protect stored data, but no system is fully risk-free.

4. Third-Party Links

Third-party websites linked from user stories have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for external processing practices once you leave rbookmarking.

5. Data Retention

We retain account and submission data as long as needed to operate the platform, enforce policies, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations.

6. Your Rights and Requests

You may request profile correction, account removal, or data-related support by contacting us through the Contact page. For verification, include your registered username or email.

7. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal, operational, or platform changes. Continued use of rbookmarking after updates indicates acceptance of the revised policy.

Community Posting Reminder: To keep the platform valuable for everyone, avoid re-posting the same promotional content. Repeated duplicate or low-quality submissions may be unpublished, and ongoing misuse can lead to account restrictions. Thank you for helping maintain a useful and trustworthy space.
