Effective Date: July 11, 2025

Welcome to SumterIgnoredUs.com ("we," "us," or "our"). This is a community platform for sharing information and media, including videos. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.

This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you visit our website, [Your Website URL], and use our services. It also tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

We collect information in a few different ways to operate our community and provide our services.

a) Information You Provide to Us:

• Account Information: When you register for an account, we collect information such as your username, email address, and password.
• Profile Information: You may choose to add more information to your public profile, such as a profile picture, a biography, or links to your social media.
• User-Generated Content: We collect the content you post on the site, which includes text posts, comments, and videos you upload. This content is public and can be seen by anyone. Please be mindful of sharing personal information in these posts.
• Communications: If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you, such as your name and the contents of your message.

b) Information We Collect Automatically:

• Log and Usage Data: Like most websites, we automatically collect information when you access our site. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referral source, pages you viewed, and the dates/times of your visits.
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies (small text files stored on your device) to help our site function, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with our services. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

c) Information from Third Parties:

• Embedded Content: Our site includes embedded content from third-party services, most notably video players from platforms like YouTube and Vimeo. When you interact with this content (e.g., play an embedded video), these third parties may collect data about you according to their own privacy policies. We do not control their data collection.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain our website and community.
• Display your public profile and the content you upload, including your videos.
• Communicate with you, send you notifications, and respond to your inquiries.
• Moderate content and enforce our Terms of Service.
• Monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve our website and user experience.
• Protect the security and integrity of our platform.

- Publicly Visible Information: Your username, profile information, and any content you post (including comments and videos) are visible to the public.

- Service Providers: We may share information with third-party vendors who help us operate our website, such as hosting providers, analytics services, and email delivery services. These providers are obligated to protect your data and can only use it for the services they provide to us.

- Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

- Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

You are responsible for the content you choose to upload and share. Do not post or upload videos containing personal information about yourself or others that you do not want to be made public. You must have the consent of any individuals who appear in your videos before uploading them to our platform.

By uploading a video, you grant us a license to display it on our website and distribute it as part of our service.

You have several choices regarding your information:

• Access and Update: You can review and update your account and profile information at any time through your account settings.
• Content Removal: You can delete your own posts and comments. However, we cannot guarantee complete removal from our systems or from the view of others who may have copied the information.
• Opt-Out of Communications: You can opt-out of receiving promotional emails from us by using the "unsubscribe" link in the email.
• Cookie Control: Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies.
  

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is ever 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Our website is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
