Line by line
The lines that matter most, worst first.
If they change the privacy rules, they may treat you as agreeing just because you kept using the site.

Privacy policy
“Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes to this policy will be deemed your acceptance of those changes.”
For example, they could start keeping IPs longer and you would only find out if you re-read the page.
If you get a site-wide ban, they can keep your IP as long as they think they need it.

“IP addresses of Users that have been banned Site-wide by Site administrators for violating our policies will be retained until said Users are unbanned or we no longer require the data to secure the Site from their spam or abuse.”
For example, a banned account’s IP could sit on their servers for months after you leave.
Admins can wipe posts, ban your IP, or delete your account if they decide you broke the rules.

Words to know
Legal words from the lines above, in plain English.
- sell or share
- Under California law, selling means passing your data to others for money or other value; sharing means passing it on for targeted ads. For example, letting an ad network use your browsing history in return for ad space counts as a sale.
- cookies
- Small files a website saves on your device so it can recognise you and remember what you did. For example, a cookie keeps you logged in and can also tell an ad company which sites you visited.
- third parties
- Any company or person other than you and the app, such as advertisers, partners or analytics firms. For example, an analytics company that receives a record of every screen you tap is a third party.
