User-generated content
Crowd Says is a social app. Content you post may be visible to other users depending on your settings and the feature used. Do not post private information you do not want others to see.
Data retention
We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain security, and operate backups. Some deleted content may remain for a limited period in backups or logs before being removed according to our retention practices.
Your choices and rights
- Access or update account information in the app where available.
- Manage notification preferences in the app or device settings.
- Request account deletion through the app or our account deletion page.
- Contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or portability where applicable law provides those rights.

Crowd Says is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us so we can take appropriate action.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your information may be processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. These locations may have data protection laws different from where you live.
