We DO NOT use your data to train AI models. Your personal information, profile data, photos, messages, and any user-generated content are NEVER used to train, improve, or develop any AI models or machine learning systems.

Third-party AI service providers we use are contractually prohibited from using your data for training purposes. All AI processing is performed solely for real-time content moderation and safety purposes.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including encryption of data in transit (HTTPS/TLS), encryption of sensitive data at rest, access controls and authentication, regular security audits and monitoring, and secure backup procedures.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
