Key Summary

What information do we process? Information you provide (such as your name, email address, phone number, profile, content you post, direct messages and chat room messages, and materials you submit when applying for identity verification), and information collected automatically (such as IP address, device information, and browsing and interaction behavior).
Sensitive information? We do not proactively ask you to provide sensitive information such as race, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. We collect identity document information only if you voluntarily apply for real-name verification, and we store it in encrypted form.
Public vs. private? Your public posts, profile, IP-based location, and interaction records can be viewed by anyone, including unregistered users and search engines. Direct messages are sent only to the designated recipients, but we automatically screen direct messages for sensitive content, and authorized administrators may review direct message records for safety and moderation purposes. See Section 3.3.
How do we use information? To provide and improve the Services, enable social features, ensure security, prevent abuse and fraud, comply with the law, and, with your consent or where permitted by law, conduct marketing and personalized recommendations.
Do we sell your information? We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration, and we never sell the content of your direct messages or use it for advertising. For how certain U.S. state laws define “sale” and “sharing” and how to opt out, see Section 10.
Do we use artificial intelligence? We use AI to moderate content. Some accounts on the Platform are AI accounts, and content you send when interacting with them is processed by third-party AI providers. We do not use your content to train third-party AI models. See Sections 2 and 3.6.
Do we share information? Depending on the circumstances, we may share information with service providers, business partners, affiliates, parties to copyright complaints, or government authorities.
How do we protect minors? Children under 13 may not use the Platform. Users aged 13 to 17 must use it with the knowledge and consent of a parent or guardian and may use Teen Mode. See Section 9.
How do we protect information? We take technical and organizational measures to protect data, but we cannot guarantee 100% security.
What are your rights? You may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, withdraw consent, or opt out of marketing and targeted advertising.
How can you contact us? Submit requests to privacy@skyforttech.top or legal@skyforttech.top.

1. What information do we collect?

1.1 Personal information you provide

When you register an account, verify your phone number, complete your profile, post content, send direct messages or chat room messages, purchase a membership, set up tip-receiving information, apply for identity verification, submit a support ticket, participate in interactions, submit a complaint, or otherwise interact with us, we collect the personal information you voluntarily provide. This information includes, but is not limited to:

Identity information: Name (or display name), username, password, profile picture, profile cover image, bio, and date of birth.
Contact information: Email address and phone number (including country or region code). Your phone number is used for account verification, login, password recovery, and security notifications, and is not used for marketing. If you purchase paid features, this also includes billing contact information.
User content: Posts, comments, images, videos, audio, links, hashtags, reactions, and reposts you publish; images and files you upload to “My Attachments”; and any information in your profile.
Communications content: Text, images, files, voice messages, and attachments you send or receive through direct messages, group messages, and chat rooms (including messages you have recalled; see Section 3.3), as well as your communications with customer support.
Social relationship information: Accounts you follow, accounts that follow you, your blocklist and mute list, friend or group relationships, your direct message permission settings, and report records.
Payment information: If you purchase a membership or other paid features, we collect your billing contact information, the item purchased, the amount, and transaction records. Memberships are one-time payments for a fixed term and do not renew automatically. Complete payment card data (such as card numbers and security codes) is processed by trusted third-party payment processors (such as Stripe, Inc.), and we do not store complete card information. For details, please see Stripe’s Privacy Policy: https://stripe.com/privacy.
Points information: Your points balance and transaction history, such as points earned or deducted through games and points red packets sent or received in chat rooms.
Tip-receiving information: If you enable the tipping feature, we collect the payment-receiving information you voluntarily enter or upload, such as payment QR codes, tip links, bank account information (such as international bank accounts), and cryptocurrency wallet addresses, and we display it publicly according to your settings. See Section 3.1.
Identity verification information: If you apply for real-name verification, we collect your legal name, document type, document number, document photos, and (if required) a photo of you holding your document. If you apply for business, organization, or individual verification, we also collect the supporting materials you submit, such as certificates of incorporation, registration documents, and letters of authorization. Identity verification is voluntary.
Support tickets: The content, category, replies, and images you upload in support tickets.
Account deletion and freeze information: Information you provide when requesting to delete or freeze your account, such as your answers to the deletion reason survey and verification records.
Preference information: Language settings, notification and email alert preferences (including status settings such as “Mute”), subscription options, and content preferences.
Business information: If you have a business or creator account, also your company name, job title, and industry.
Legal and copyright request information: If you submit a copyright infringement notice, counter-notice, or other legal complaint, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, organization, address, phone number, email address, signature, a description of the work and material at issue, and the statements required by law.
Teen Mode information: If Teen Mode is enabled, we process the information described in Section 9.

All information you provide must be true, accurate, and complete. If your information changes, please update it promptly through your account settings. We are not responsible for consequences arising from inaccurate information.

1.2 Sensitive information

Except for real-name verification that you voluntarily apply for, we do not proactively request or knowingly collect information considered “sensitive,” such as racial or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, political opinions, religious beliefs, genetic data, health information, or precise geolocation. Identity document information collected for real-name verification is considered sensitive personal information under certain laws. We use it only to verify your identity and display verification badges, store it in encrypted form, allow only authorized reviewers to access it, and do not use it to infer characteristics about you or for advertising.

Please note: Because of the nature of a social platform, you may choose to disclose such information yourself in your profile, posts, comments, or direct messages. Content you voluntarily disclose and make public will be visible to others, so please post with care. If you accidentally submit such information in a non-public setting and wish us to delete it, please notify us immediately.

1.3 Information collected automatically

When you access or use the Services, we automatically collect the following information:

Log and usage data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, access times, pages and content viewed, search history, feature usage, and crash and error reports.
Device data: Device identifiers, hardware model, Internet Service Provider (ISP), mobile carrier, and system configuration; if we launch mobile applications in the future, this may also include advertising identifiers.
Location data: Approximate geographic location based on your IP address (“IP-based location”). When you log in and post comments, we determine your IP-based location through a third-party IP lookup service and display it publicly as described in Section 3.1.
Account records: The time, IP address, and login method of your 10 most recent logins, and records of your 10 most recent changes to your nickname, email address, and phone number (including the time of each change). These records may be viewed only by administrators for account security purposes.
Online status: Your most recent activity time, used to display statuses such as online or offline.
Bot verification data: During registration, login, sending verification codes, unfreezing accounts, and similar steps, we use CAPTCHA to distinguish humans from bots. This service may collect your device information, network information, and interaction behavior data to detect bots and malicious requests.
Game data: Game rooms, match and invitation records, and leaderboard results such as scores and stars.
Cookie and similar technology data: Data used to keep the Platform secure and functioning properly. See Section 5.
Behavior and interaction data: Clicks, scrolling, time on page, navigation paths, viewing duration, interaction targets, and content impression and interaction records, used for trend analysis and content recommendations.
Content metadata: Time of publication, edit history, device type, and metadata in attachments (such as the time a photo was taken and the device model; we will not make precise location information in photos public without your authorization).
Direct message metadata: Sender and recipient, timestamps, message size, and delivery and read status.
Advertising data: Ad impressions, clicks, sources, and UTM parameters, used to evaluate marketing effectiveness.
Security logs: Login attempts, authentication records (including the sending and verification results of verification codes and SMS delivery records), account changes, multi-account linking and switching records, and suspicious activity records, used for fraud detection and Platform security.

1.4 Information from other sources

To improve the Services and our marketing, we may obtain data from the following sources:

Third-party login services: The Platform does not currently offer third-party login. If we launch login with accounts such as Google or Apple in the future, when you use that feature we will receive the basic profile information you authorize to be shared.
Other users: Other users who mention, tag, or report you, add you to a group, or upload content that includes you.
Copyright complainants and legal requesters: Copyright infringement notices, court orders, subpoenas, or other legal requests involving you or content you have posted.
Public databases: Company registration information and industry data.
Marketing partners and data providers: User data from joint promotional activities, mailing addresses, email addresses, and intent data.
Social media: Your public profiles and behavior data.

We use this data, in compliance with applicable law, for targeted advertising, customer analysis, record updates, security and anti-abuse, handling legal requests, and similar purposes.

2. How do we process your information?

We process personal information for the following purposes:

Account management: To create, verify (including phone number verification and bot verification), and maintain accounts; to handle account freezes, unfreezes, deletions, and multi-account linking; and to ensure normal login and use.
Providing social features: To display your profile, IP-based location, online status, and content, and to enable posting, commenting, @mentions, following, direct messages, chat rooms, notifications, search, topics, the Game Center, and display of tip-receiving information.
Identity verification: To review your verification applications, verify individual identity or organizational credentials, and display the corresponding verification badges.
Content recommendation and ranking: To generate your feed, recommended content, and recommended accounts based on your follow relationships, interactions, and interests.
Customer support: To respond to inquiries through support tickets and other channels, resolve technical issues, and handle complaints and appeals.
Administrative communications: To send service updates, changes to our terms, billing notices, verification codes, and security alerts (such as account linking, password changes, and account freezes) by email, in-app notification, or SMS. SMS is used only for verification codes and security notifications.
Social notifications: To notify you, in-app and by email, of direct messages, comments, @mentions, follows, chat room messages, and game invitations you receive, as well as site announcements. You can turn off these emails in “Message Settings” or set your status to “Mute.”
Order processing: To process membership purchases, payments, and order records, and to handle any refunds required by law or our Refund Policy.
Points and games: To record points earned, deducted, and transferred (such as game rewards and chat room points red packets) and to display game leaderboards.
Feedback: To invite you to provide feedback on your experience with the Services.
Marketing and promotions: To send offers and event information by email or in-app notification (you can unsubscribe at any time). We do not send marketing text messages.
Personalized advertising: To tailor content and ads based on your interests and behavior (see Section 6).
Security and content governance: To monitor for and prevent fraud, spam, bot accounts, harassment, hate speech, violent threats, child sexual abuse material (CSAM), infringement, and other conduct that violates our Terms and Conditions and Community Standards, including by automatically screening direct messages, chat rooms, and comments for sensitive keywords; and to enforce measures such as bans, muting, suspension of certain features, rate limiting, and removal.
Copyright and legal request handling: To receive, verify, and handle copyright infringement notices, counter-notices, and legal requests from courts, law enforcement, and rights holders, and to enforce our repeat infringer policy.
Protection of minors: To operate Teen Mode and the Teen Protection List, and to apply the protections for minor users described in Section 9.
Promotions management: To organize sweepstakes, contests, or other promotional activities.
Service improvement and development: To analyze usage trends and to test and optimize features, algorithms, and the user experience.
Marketing measurement: To evaluate the effectiveness of ads and promotional campaigns.
Legal compliance: To respond to legal requests; to fulfill tax, audit, copyright protection, and other statutory obligations; and to exercise or defend legal claims.

Automated tools and artificial intelligence: We use automated tools and AI technologies, including AI services provided by third parties, to review text and images uploaded to the Platform for content moderation and spam and abuse detection, and to provide features such as translation. This processing necessarily involves the content itself. For how AI accounts on the Platform process your content, see Section 3.6. Third-party AI providers process content only on our behalf and under our instructions. We do not use your content to train third-party AI models. For product improvement and analytics, we use AI only on de-identified or aggregated data. You may appeal moderation decisions that result in content removal or account restrictions, and such appeals may be reviewed by a human.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we process your information only where we have a legal basis to do so, including performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, your consent, or our legitimate business interests.

3. Public content, direct messages, and visibility

3.1 Public content

Unless you choose otherwise, your username, display name, profile picture, bio, public posts, comments, reposts, likes, and following and follower lists are public by default and can be viewed by anyone, including unregistered users, search engines, and third-party applications. Once public content has been copied, reposted, or screenshotted by others, or indexed by search engines, we cannot guarantee that those copies will be completely removed, even if you later delete the content. Please think carefully before posting.

Tip-receiving information: The tipping feature only displays payment-receiving information. If you enable tipping, the payment QR codes, tip links, and cryptocurrency wallet addresses you provide will be displayed publicly on your profile or content and can be seen by any viewer; the bank account information you enter will be shown after a visitor clicks the corresponding button. The Platform does not process or handle tip payments and does not record tip amounts or payer information. Tips are paid directly between the payer and the recipient through third-party payment services or banks and are governed by the terms and privacy policies of those third parties. Please provide only the payment-receiving information you are willing to make public. You can change or remove it in your settings at any time.

IP-based location: Your profile and the comments you post display a location determined from your IP address (for example, a country or province, with the level of precision set by the Platform). In certain cases, administrators may set an alternative displayed location for individual users.

Online status: Other users can see whether you are online. You can set your status to “Offline” or “Invisible” in the User Center; when you are Invisible, regular users cannot access your profile.

Verification and badges: Once your verification is approved, the corresponding badge (such as a business, organization, or individual verification badge, or a “Verified Identity” label) will be displayed publicly next to your name. We do not make your legal name, document number, or verification documents public. Accounts with Teen Mode enabled display a “Teen” badge next to their name; see Section 9.

Game leaderboards: Some games have public leaderboards that display your username, profile picture, and results.

3.2 Privacy settings

Through your account settings, you can choose to make your account private, restrict who can comment on your content or send you direct messages, and manage the visibility of your content. Content set to private or limited visibility is visible only to the users you authorize, but those users may still copy or repost it, and we cannot control their behavior.

3.3 Direct messages and group messages

Direct messages are sent only to the designated recipients (or group members). In your direct message settings, you can choose who can send you direct messages (everyone, people who follow you, people you follow, or mutual followers); site administrators and AI accounts are not subject to this restriction. We do not use the content of direct messages to show you targeted advertising.
Direct message records and sensitive content screening: To maintain Platform safety, handle reports, and enforce our Terms and Conditions, our systems record all direct messages that are actually sent (including text, images, files, voice messages, and AI replies) and automatically screen them for sensitive keywords. Direct messages that contain sensitive keywords may be automatically blocked and not delivered. Authorized administrators can view direct message records in the admin panel, including conversations between two users.
Recalled messages: When you recall a direct message, it is removed from the recipient’s chat window, but its original content remains in the direct message records until the retention period expires (see Section 7).
We use TLS (Transport Layer Security) to encrypt direct message data in transit. Files, images, and voice messages in direct messages are stored privately and can be accessed only after authentication.
Other access and disclosure: In addition to the recording and screening described above, we or persons we authorize may review or disclose the content of direct messages in the following circumstances: (a) you or the other party reported the message; (b) our automated systems or human review detect a suspected violation of our Terms and Conditions or the law (such as CSAM, threats, scams, or malware); (c) to investigate security incidents, fraud, or abuse; (d) to comply with applicable law, court orders, subpoenas, or other valid legal process; (e) to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our users, or the public; or (f) with your explicit consent.
Email notifications: If you turn on email notifications for direct messages, the notification emails we send you may include the content of the messages.
Recipients of your direct messages may copy, forward, or screenshot your messages, or provide them to third parties or law enforcement. We cannot control the behavior of recipients.
When you delete a direct message, it is removed only from your own view and is not automatically deleted from the recipient’s account.

3.4 Content posted by others that involves you

Other users may mention, tag, or depict you in their content. If you believe such content violates your privacy, contains your sensitive personal information, or constitutes harassment, you may file a complaint through the Platform’s reporting feature or by email to privacy@skyforttech.top, and we will review and handle it in accordance with our Terms and Conditions and applicable law. For copyright infringement, please submit a copyright infringement notice in accordance with our Copyright Policy.

3.5 Chat rooms

Messages in a chat room (including text, images, files, voice messages, and points red packets) are visible to members of that chat room, and the chat room also displays the members currently online.
When you recall a chat room message, it will no longer be displayed to other members; if the message has been reported, administrators can still view its original content.
Chat rooms are automatically screened for sensitive keywords, and users who violate the rules may be muted.
When other users @mention you in a chat room, you may receive in-app and email notifications. You can turn off email notifications in “Message Settings.”
For how long chat room messages are retained, see Section 7.

3.6 AI accounts

Some accounts on the Platform are operated by AI (“AI accounts”) and are labeled as AI. When you send a direct message to an AI account, @mention an AI account in a comment or chat room, or comment on content posted by an AI account, the text you send, your relevant prior conversations with that AI account, and the body of the related article or post will be sent to a third-party AI model provider for processing to generate a reply. Voice messages, files, and images you send to an AI account are not sent for AI processing.

To prevent abuse, we record the number and volume of your interactions with AI accounts, detect abusive or otherwise prohibited content, and may temporarily refuse to interact with users who violate the rules. An AI account may automatically follow you after replying to you. You may choose not to interact with AI accounts, and in Teen Mode, a parent or guardian can also block AI accounts. Please do not send AI accounts any personal information that you do not want processed by a third party.

4. When and with whom do we share personal information?

We may share information with certain third parties in the following situations:

Vendors and service providers: To support the delivery of the Services, we share information with the following categories of service providers: cloud hosting, storage, and content delivery services; payment processors (such as Stripe); email service providers; SMS providers (used only to send verification codes and security notifications, not for marketing); bot verification services; IP-based location lookup services; AI model providers; content moderation and anti-spam tools; analytics and testing tools; and advertising networks (if we use them in the future).
Business transfers: In connection with a merger, sale of assets, financing, or acquisition of all or part of our business.
Affiliates: With our parent company, subsidiaries, or entities under common control, which must comply with this policy.
Business partners: With partners to offer products, features, or promotions.
Other users and the public: Information you share in public areas (such as public posts, comments, your profile, IP-based location, online status, verification badges, game leaderboard results, and tip-receiving information) can be viewed by everyone; direct messages and chat room messages you send will be shown to their recipients or to chat room members.
Third-party applications and developers: If the Platform offers APIs or third-party login in the future, when you authorize a third-party application to access your account, we will share data within the scope of your authorization. You can revoke authorization at any time in your account settings.
Copyright complaints: When we receive a copyright infringement notice under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we may forward the notice, including the complainant’s name and contact information, to the user who posted the material. If that user submits a counter-notice, we may forward it, including the user’s name, address, and contact information, to the original complainant as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).
Government, courts, and legal requests: Requests from courts, law enforcement, and rights holders must be sent to legal@skyforttech.top. To verify the authenticity of a request and respond to it, we collect the requester’s name, agency or organization, official contact information, proof of identity, and the legal process provided. We review each request for legal validity and scope, disclose only the minimum data necessary, and may reject or narrow requests that are overbroad or deficient. For communications content such as direct messages, we review requests in accordance with applicable law, including the U.S. Stored Communications Act. Unless prohibited by law or court order, or where notice could cause harm (for example, in emergencies or cases involving child safety), we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected users before disclosure. In emergencies involving imminent danger of death or serious physical injury, we may disclose information without legal process to the extent permitted by law.
Protection of rights and safety: To enforce our Terms and Conditions, investigate violations, prevent fraud and security threats, and protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our users, or the public.
Reports to NCMEC: If we discover suspected child sexual exploitation material, we will report it to the U.S. National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) as required by U.S. federal law and preserve the related data.

We require all third parties to comply with data protection agreements to protect your information.

5. Do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?

We currently use only cookies that are strictly necessary for the security and operation of the Platform, such as the __cf_bm cookie set by Cloudflare for bot management. We may also use similar technologies such as local storage to save functional preferences like your login status and language settings.

We do not currently use third-party analytics or advertising cookies. If we introduce analytics, advertising, or other non-essential cookies in the future, we will update our Cookie Policy and, where required by law, obtain your consent before setting them. You can reject cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may affect some features. For details, please see our Cookie Policy.

6. Advertising, personalization, and recommendations

Content recommendations: We use algorithms to rank and recommend posts, topics, and accounts to you based on your follow relationships, interactions, language, and device information. You can adjust or reset your recommendation preferences in your settings.
Advertising: The Platform may display advertisements or sponsored content. We and our advertising partners may infer your interests and serve personalized ads based on your public activity, interactions, device information, approximate location, and data obtained from third parties.
Direct messages are not used for advertising: We do not use the content of direct messages or group messages to serve targeted advertising.
Minor users: We do not show personalized advertising based on behavioral profiles to users we know to be under 18.
Your choices: You can turn off personalized advertising in your settings and exercise your opt-out rights as described in Sections 10 and 11. If you turn off personalized advertising, you will still see ads, but they may be less relevant to you.
Advertiser and creator features: If you use business account or promotion features, we may provide you with aggregated audience statistics. We will not disclose other users’ personally identifiable information to you.

7. How long do we retain information?

Unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, we retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, we will not retain your personal information for more than 12 months after your account is terminated. The periods below reflect the Platform’s current settings; if they change, we will update this policy.

While your account is active: We retain your account information, content, and interaction records for as long as your account is active. While your account is frozen, your account data is retained in full.
After you delete content or your account: After you delete a post, comment, or your account, we will remove it from public view within a reasonable period (generally within 30 days) and then delete or anonymize it from our active systems and backups within a reasonable period (generally no more than 90 days). Account deletion requests may be subject to review. To prevent abuse, the email address and phone number linked to your account may not be used to register a new account for 30 days after deletion is completed.
Direct messages and chat room messages after account deletion: To keep other users’ conversation histories intact, after you delete your account, the direct messages and chat room text messages you sent will not be deleted. Instead, the sender of those messages will be shown as an account designated by the Platform and will no longer be associated with your account. Files, images, and voice messages you sent will be deleted according to Platform settings.
Direct message records: Direct message records in the admin panel (including recalled and blocked messages) are retained for 365 days.
Chat rooms: Messages and voice messages are retained for 365 days, images for 60 days, and files for 60 days, after which they are automatically deleted.
AI interaction logs: Retained for 30 days.
SMS delivery records: These include full phone numbers (but not verification codes) and are retained for 60 days.
Identity verification materials: Materials for applications that are rejected, withdrawn, or revoked are deleted after 30 days. Materials for approved verifications are retained while the verification remains in effect and are deleted when your account is deleted.
Support tickets: Ticket content is retained while your account is active. Images in tickets are deleted 30 days after the ticket is closed or completed.
Account records: Only your 10 most recent login records and 10 most recent profile change records are kept.
Bans: If a user is banned for violations, their content may be moved to a ban recycle bin and permanently deleted after 30 days.
Copies held by others: Content that other users have reposted, quoted, copied, or screenshotted, and content indexed by search engines or third parties, is not subject to the deletion rules above.
Security and compliance exceptions: To prevent fraud and abuse, enforce our Terms and Conditions, handle appeals, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations (such as tax, audit, and evidence preservation), or respond to law enforcement requests, we may retain certain data beyond the periods above, such as reported or actioned content and related records, ban and feature suspension records, login and security logs, and transaction records (such as membership purchase records). Materials reported to NCMEC will be preserved as required by law.
Copyright and legal request records: Copyright infringement notices, counter-notices, repeat infringer records, and legal requests we receive are retained for as long as necessary to enforce our repeat infringer policy, respond to the requests, and establish or defend legal claims.
Teen Mode records: When Teen Mode is turned off or the account is deleted, the Teen Mode settings and PIN hash are deleted.
Backups: If information cannot be deleted immediately because of backup archiving or similar reasons, we will store it securely and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.
Deletion or anonymization: When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will delete or anonymize it.

8. How do we protect your information?

We are committed to protecting your personal information through technical and organizational measures designed to ensure its confidentiality, integrity, and security. We have implemented the following industry-standard security practices:

Data encryption: We use the TLS protocol to encrypt data in transit, protecting information on the website, in direct messages, and during payment. Legal names, document numbers, and identity documents submitted for real-name verification are stored with AES-256-GCM encryption. Account passwords and Teen Mode PINs are stored only as salted, irreversible hashes.
Private storage: Direct message files, support ticket images, and verification materials are stored in protected directories that block direct access and can be viewed only after authentication and permission checks.
Access control: We enforce strict access restrictions, allowing only trained, authorized personnel or necessary third parties to access data, and we require multi-factor authentication. We use role-based access control (RBAC) to ensure data is processed only when necessary, and we maintain additional approval and audit mechanisms for personnel access to communications content such as direct messages.
Network security: We and our hosting provider deploy firewalls, DDoS protection, web application firewalls (WAF), and malware scanning, and we perform regular vulnerability scans to defend against attacks, malware, and other threats. Our hosting provider is certified under ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management.
Account security tools: We provide phone number verification, bot verification, self-service account freezing, and alerts for account linking and password changes. Please use a strong, unique password and keep your login credentials safe.
Personnel training: Our personnel receive regular data protection and privacy training and are bound by internal policies that prohibit unauthorized disclosure or misuse of data.
Incident response: We maintain an incident response plan. In the event of a data breach or other security incident, we will promptly investigate, contain the impact, and notify affected users and regulators as required by applicable law (for example, within 72 hours), and we conduct periodic drills.
Data minimization: We collect only the information necessary to provide the Services and regularly review our data collection practices.

Despite these measures, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. Attackers, cybercriminals, or unauthorized third parties may circumvent security controls through sophisticated means, and we cannot fully guarantee that your information will not be accessed, stolen, or altered without authorization. Transmitting personal information through our Services is therefore at your own risk. We recommend that you use the Services only on secure networks and trusted devices, update your password regularly, and use antivirus software.

If you discover a security issue (such as unusual account activity or unauthorized use), please contact skyblog@skyforttech.top immediately, and we will take prompt action (such as suspending the account and investigating the incident). To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for losses caused by external factors (such as hacking, cybercrime, or unauthorized third parties), but we may provide support to mitigate the impact within the limits permitted by law.

9. Do we collect information from minors?

Children under 13: SkyBlog is not directed to children under 13 (or a higher minimum age set by the laws of your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or process their personal information, and we do not market to them or sell their personal information.
Minors aged 13 to 17: Users who are at least 13 but under 18 must use the Services with the knowledge and consent of a parent or legal guardian. We apply stronger protections for this age group, including not showing personalized advertising based on behavioral profiles and offering the Teen Mode described below.
Teen Mode: The Platform offers Teen Mode, which is turned on after a parent or guardian sets a teen password (PIN). Any change to its settings requires that PIN. Administrators may also turn on, modify, turn off, or reset Teen Mode for a user. When Teen Mode is on, we additionally process the following information: Teen Mode status and settings, the hashed (irreversible) PIN, and the time Teen Mode was turned on. We use this information only to operate Teen Mode and protect minor users, and not for advertising or content recommendations.
Teen Mode protections: When Teen Mode is on, only people the user follows can send them direct messages (always enforced). A parent or guardian can also choose to: turn on comment protection (only people the user follows can comment on their content, reply to their comments, or @mention them); block chat rooms; require the PIN to follow other users; block AI accounts; and turn off multiplayer games, allow only educational (“green”) games, or turn off all games. Accounts with Teen Mode on display a “Teen” badge next to their name, and other users see a notice when they @mention, message, or reply to such a user. If the PIN is forgotten, you can contact us to reset it, and we may verify identity first.
Teen Protection List: To protect minor users, administrators may add users who pose a risk to the Teen Protection List (for a set period or permanently). Users on the list cannot interact with users who have Teen Mode on, their content is hidden from those users, and any follows they have of teen users are automatically removed. We notify users when they are added to or removed from the list.
Discovery and handling: If we learn or suspect that we have collected personal information from a user who does not meet the age requirements, we will promptly deactivate the account and take reasonable steps to delete that data from our systems, including notifying third parties (such as payment processors) to delete any related records. We may retain limited log data to comply with legal requirements (such as audits or fraud prevention), but will not use it for any other purpose.
Parents and guardians: If you are the parent or guardian of a minor and believe your child has provided personal information to us, or you wish to review or delete your child’s information, please contact us promptly at privacy@skyforttech.top with relevant details (such as account information and when the information was submitted), and we will investigate and take action promptly. We encourage parents and guardians to supervise their children’s online activities and to use Teen Mode, device settings, or third-party tools to restrict access.
Compliance: We are committed to complying with applicable laws, including the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and state laws on minors’ online privacy and safety, and we regularly review our practices.

10. Your privacy rights

We are committed to protecting your privacy and giving you control over your personal information in accordance with the laws that apply where you live, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the CPRA, other U.S. state privacy laws, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the UK GDPR.

10.1 Rights you may have

Right to know and access: To see the personal information we have collected about you (such as your name, email address, and browsing history), including its sources, uses, purposes of collection, and the recipients to whom it is disclosed.
Right to correct: To correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
Right to delete: To request deletion of your personal information (such as account data, content, and order records), subject to legal or technical restrictions.
Right to withdraw consent: To withdraw consent to processing (such as for marketing), without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
Right to object: To object to certain processing, such as marketing or behavioral analysis.
Right to data portability: To receive your data in a machine-readable format, or request its transfer to another service, where permitted by applicable law.
Opt out of marketing: To unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time while continuing to receive necessary communications (such as security notices, verification codes, and order confirmations).
Opt out of “sale,” “sharing,” and targeted advertising: See Section 10.2.
Right to limit the use of sensitive personal information (where applicable).
Right to non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights (such as by denying service, charging different prices, or reducing service quality), except as permitted by applicable law.
Cookie controls: You can reject cookies through your browser settings, which may affect some features.

10.2 Supplemental disclosures under U.S. state privacy laws (including for California residents)

Categories of personal information collected in the past 12 months: Identifiers (name, username, email address, phone number, IP address, device ID); customer records; internet or other electronic network activity information; approximate geolocation (IP-based location); user content and communications content; social relationship information; inferences drawn from the above (such as interest preferences); commercial information (such as membership transaction records and points records); audio, electronic, or visual information (photos, videos, and voice messages you upload); and sensitive personal information (such as government identification information submitted for real-name verification, account login credentials, and the content of direct messages).
Sources, business purposes, and recipients: See Sections 1, 2, and 4, respectively.
“Sale” and “sharing”: Under California law, “sharing” means disclosing personal information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration; however, if we use third-party advertising and analytics technologies in the future, their use may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” under applicable law. You can opt out through the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” option on the settings page or by emailing privacy@skyforttech.top. We have no actual knowledge that we sell or share the personal information of users under 16.
Sensitive personal information: If you provide account login credentials or direct message content, or submit government identification information when applying for real-name verification, we process it only as necessary to provide the Services, verify identity, ensure security, and comply with the law, and we do not use it to infer characteristics or for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Authorized agents: You may authorize an agent to submit requests on your behalf. We may require proof of written authorization and verification of your identity.
Right to appeal: If we deny your request, you may appeal our decision. If your appeal is denied, you may file a complaint with the attorney general of your state.
California “Shine the Light”: California residents may request, once per year, information about whether we disclose personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
Nevada residents: You may submit a request to opt out of the sale of personal information by emailing privacy@skyforttech.top.

10.3 Users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom

In addition to the rights above, you may have the right to restrict processing, to object to processing based on legitimate interests, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

10.4 How to exercise your rights

You can take action yourself through your account settings, or email privacy@skyforttech.top stating the type of request (such as “Delete my data” or “Opt out of marketing”) and providing identifying information (such as your username and registered email address). We will confirm receipt of your request within 10 business days and respond substantively within 45 days of receipt. Where reasonably necessary, we may extend this period by an additional 45 days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reason within the initial 45-day period. We may require identity verification (such as an email or SMS verification code).

10.5 Possible limitations

Fraud prevention and security: To prevent fraud, malicious requests, or abuse of rights, we may decline requests that are manifestly unreasonable or repetitive, and we will explain why.
Legal obligations: Data we are legally required to retain (such as for tax, audit, evidence preservation, copyright complaint records, and law enforcement assistance) cannot be deleted.
Technical limitations: Backup systems may contain copies of data. We will isolate such data and explain the isolation measures and the expected deletion time.
Rights of others: To protect other users’ privacy, expression, and legitimate interests, we may be unable to fulfill requests that would disclose other people’s personal information.
Third-party data: For information already shared with third parties, we will ask them to delete or update it, but we cannot fully control their internal processes; please refer to their privacy policies.

11. “Do Not Track” and Global Privacy Control signals

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and applications include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature or setting that you can turn on to signal your preference not to have your online browsing activities monitored and collected. Because there is no finalized uniform technical standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, for opt-out preference signals recognized by law, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), we will, to the extent required by applicable law, treat them as a valid request to opt out of the “sale” and “sharing” of personal information for that browser or device (and, if you are logged in, for your account). If a standard for online tracking that we must follow is adopted in the future, we will inform you of our practices in a revised version of this policy.

12. International data transfers

SkyFortTech is a company registered in the United States. To provide the Services, we and our service providers (such as hosting, content delivery network, backup, and payment services) may store and process your information in the United States or in other countries or regions. As a result, your information may be transferred to and processed in places outside your country or region, where data protection laws may differ from those where you live. Wherever your information is processed, we will protect it in accordance with this policy. For personal information from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we will implement appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) where required by applicable law.

13. Third-party links and services

The Platform may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services and may embed third-party content. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties, and we recommend that you read their privacy policies before using them. When you authorize a third-party application to access your account, its use of your data is governed by its own policies.

14. Will this policy be updated?

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent notice, through an in-app prompt, or by sending you a notification directly; where the law requires consent, we will obtain your consent again. Your continued use of the Services means you accept the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy regularly.
