3. Moderation and Safety Reviews

TappyBBS is a community app. To keep the service safe, authorized moderators and administrators may review user content and related account information when needed.

This may include room messages, reported content, direct messages, yell messages, sysop replies, user profiles, account activity, and technical information related to abuse or safety issues.

We may preserve moderation records, reports, enforcement history, and related data to protect users and prevent repeated abuse.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information in the following situations:

With Other Users

Content you post in public or shared rooms may be visible to other users. Your username, profile information, avatar, online status, and activity may also be visible depending on the feature.

Messages you send to another user are visible to that recipient.

With Service Providers

We may share information with vendors and service providers who help us operate TappyBBS, such as hosting providers, database providers, authentication services, analytics services, crash reporting services, notification providers, payment processors, and app stores.

These providers may process information on our behalf.

For Safety and Moderation

We may share or disclose information when needed to investigate abuse, enforce our Terms, protect users, prevent harm, or maintain the security of the service.

For Legal Reasons

We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, legal process, or government request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, users, or the public.

If TappyBBS is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Data Storage and Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

TappyBBS may use third-party cloud services, including Firebase or similar platforms, to store and process data.

6. Data Retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our Terms, maintain security, and support moderation.
