Sharing Your Information

1. Public Content

Any content you upload to our application will be public and can be accessed by other users. This is essential to our community journalism platform's purpose of creating transparent documentation of events. Once published, content becomes part of the permanent public record on our platform.

Security of Your Information

The security of your personal information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Data Access and Management

Since our platform operates as a public community journalism service, most of your contributed content and profile information is publicly accessible by design. You can access your account information at any time by logging in to your account.

While you can manage certain account settings, please understand that content you've published on our platform becomes part of the public record and remains accessible to preserve the integrity of community documentation.
