We do work with a limited number of trusted third-party service providers who help us operate the Site — such as website hosting and infrastructure providers. These providers access your data only as necessary to perform services on our behalf and are contractually required to keep your information confidential and use it only for the purposes we specify. We do not permit them to use your data for their own purposes.

In very limited circumstances, we may also be required to disclose information:

• To comply with applicable law, regulation, or legal process

Any such disclosure would be limited to the minimum necessary and only as required.

When you upload a profile picture or project photo:

• Profile pictures are displayed on your public or member-visible profile
• Project photos you choose to share are visible to other registered users of the Site
• Images are stored securely on our servers
• You retain ownership of your uploaded images
• You can request removal of your images at any time (see Section 8)

Please do not upload images containing sensitive personal information or images of individuals who have not given their consent to be shared online.

We may use cookies and similar technologies to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and understand how the Site is used. These cookies are used only for the operation and improvement of the Site and are not shared with third-party advertisers.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling cookies may affect some Site functionality.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The Site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time. We will notify users of material changes by posting the updated statement on the Site with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this statement periodically.
