4. Private Messages and Personalized Videos

Finger Messages intended for a designated recipient are not automatically public. Personalized videos are intended for private recipient delivery and are not published to The Bird Feed under the current Service design.

However, "private" does not mean that content is inaccessible to GiveTheFinger's systems or authorized service providers. Private content may be stored, processed, automatically analyzed, or accessed where reasonably necessary to:

• deliver the Service;

• maintain security;

• investigate abuse;

• respond to a user or recipient complaint;

• enforce our policies;

• diagnose technical problems;

• comply with legal obligations; or

• protect rights or safety.

Access should be limited to persons and providers with a legitimate operational need.

5. The Bird Feed and Public Information

If a sender affirmatively chooses to submit eligible content to The Bird Feed, information designated for public display may become publicly accessible. For individual recipients, GiveTheFinger may reduce identifying information, such as displaying a first name and last initial. Companies, teams, organizations, public figures, or other public targets may be displayed using their public names.

Public content can be copied, photographed, indexed, redistributed, or preserved by third parties. Even if GiveTheFinger later removes public content, we cannot guarantee deletion of copies previously made by others.

Personalized video Messages are not publicly displayed on The Bird Feed under the current Service design.

6. Information About Senders and Anonymity

Some features may allow a sender's identity to be hidden from a recipient. This presentation does not make the transaction anonymous to GiveTheFinger.

We may retain information associated with the sender, account, device, network, transaction, and payment activity for legitimate business, fraud-prevention, security, legal, and safety purposes. We may disclose sender information when required by valid legal process or otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

7. How We Disclose Information

Service Providers

Companies that assist with cloud hosting and storage, databases, payment processing, e-commerce, email and messaging, analytics, fraud prevention, customer support, content moderation, security, and other technical operations. These providers may process information on our behalf or under their own applicable terms and privacy policies.

Recipients

Information contained in a Finger Message may be disclosed to its intended recipient as necessary to provide the Service.

Public Users

Information affirmatively submitted for The Bird Feed or another public feature may be disclosed publicly as described when the user makes that selection.

Legal and Safety Disclosures

We may preserve, access, or disclose information when we reasonably believe doing so is necessary or appropriate to comply with law; respond to subpoenas, court orders, warrants, or other valid legal process; enforce our agreements; investigate suspected fraud or unlawful conduct; protect the rights, property, or safety of GiveTheFinger, users, recipients, or others; investigate credible threats; address abuse or security incidents; or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Corporate Transactions

Information may be disclosed in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or similar corporate transaction, subject to applicable law.

8. Sale and Targeted Advertising

GiveTheFinger will disclose its actual practices regarding sale of personal data and targeted advertising before launch.

Launch configuration: We do not sell personal data for monetary consideration and do not process personal data for targeted advertising as those terms are defined under applicable Texas privacy law.

If our practices materially change, we will update this Policy and provide legally required opt-out mechanisms.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information for periods reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing the Service, maintaining transaction and accounting records, preventing fraud and abuse, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, complying with legal obligations, and protecting legal rights.

Retention periods may differ by data type. We may retain certain account, transaction, safety, fraud-prevention, restriction, or legal records after other information has been deleted where reasonably necessary and legally permitted. Information subject to a valid preservation request, litigation hold, investigation, or legal obligation may be retained for longer.

10. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information appropriate to the nature of the information we process. No website, network, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending upon where you reside and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, which may include rights to:

• confirm whether we process your personal data;

• access personal data;

• correct inaccuracies;

• request deletion;

• obtain a portable copy of certain information;

• opt out of certain targeted advertising;

• opt out of certain sales of personal data;

• opt out of certain profiling; and

Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by applicable law and subject to appropriate verification. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.
