Public Profiles
Information and content you choose to display on your public profile may be visible to anyone who can access your profile.

Uploaded Content
Media you upload may be stored using third-party storage providers and may be publicly accessible when used on a public profile.
You are responsible for ensuring that content you upload does not contain information you do not want publicly accessible.
Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain sessions and provide essential features.
We collect first-party aggregate traffic metrics at our edge (page path buckets, referrer hostname, and country) to understand usage and improve the Service. These metrics do not use a third-party analytics script, do not store IP addresses or advertising identifiers, and are not used for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Data Storage and Retention
Your information may be stored or processed in countries other than your country of residence.
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, maintain security, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, and operate our systems.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including HTTPS, access controls, and database security policies.
No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
If we become aware of a security incident requiring notification under applicable law, we will provide the required notifications.
Automated Systems
We may use automated systems to detect spam, fraud, abuse, security threats, and violations of our policies. Where appropriate, automated actions may be reviewed by a person.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or otherwise control your personal information.
You may also request deletion of your account through your account settings or contact us using the information below.
Public content may remain accessible to others if it has been copied or independently saved before deletion.
Children's Privacy
widow is not intended for children under 13, or the applicable minimum age in jurisdictions where a higher age applies.
If we learn that we have collected information from someone below the applicable minimum age, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Australian Privacy Law
Where applicable, widow handles personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Information may be transferred to and processed in Australia or other countries where our service providers operate.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date and, where appropriate, providing additional notice.
