We collect only the information necessary to provide our service: your email address, username, profile information you choose to share, and the content you post. We don't collect browsing data, location data, or any information from third-party sources.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information solely to provide, maintain, and improve Elsewhere. This includes delivering your posts to friends, sending notifications you've requested, and providing customer support. We never use your data for advertising or marketing purposes.
3. Information Sharing
We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties. Your posts are only visible to the friends you've connected with on Elsewhere. We may only share your information if required by law or to protect our users' safety.
4. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we regularly audit our security practices.

You have complete control over your data. You can access, update, or delete your personal information at any time through your account settings. You can also request a copy of all data we have about you or permanently delete your account and all associated data.
7. No Tracking or Advertising
We do not use cookies for tracking, we don't have advertising partners, and we don't build profiles of your behavior. Elsewhere is designed to respect your privacy completely—no hidden data collection, no behavioral analysis, no surveillance capitalism.
