Content you create: posts, comments, likes, messages, uploaded media, and other information you submit to the Service.
Usage data: pages you visit, actions you take, device information, browser type, IP address, and approximate location based on IP (where available).

4) Content Visibility & Public Information
Your profile information and content may be visible to other users based on your settings and how you use the platform.
Please avoid posting sensitive personal data publicly. Messages and private areas are intended to be private, but no system can be guaranteed 100% secure.
5) Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including access control and secure storage practices.
However, no online service is completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential.
