Privacy at Yapfrom

Account records include your username, password hash, profile country, optional biography, preferences, and session records. Contributions include posts, comments, votes, reports, moderation actions, and the country code estimated at the time of a contribution.

Yapfrom stores a country code on a contribution, not a precise location. Hosting and security providers may temporarily process IP addresses and request logs to deliver and protect the service.

Posting-country context is an estimate derived from connection metadata supplied by the hosting edge. It can be wrong because of VPNs, proxies, mobile routing, or travel. It is not nationality, citizenship, residence, ethnicity, or verified identity. If no reliable estimate is available, Yapfrom labels the location as unknown rather than presenting profile data as connection evidence.

Data is used to operate feeds and conversations, prevent abuse, provide notifications, enforce community rules, explain geographic participation, and improve reliability. Yapfrom does not sell personal data or use posting-country context to infer protected traits.

When you explicitly request an AI translation, the selected public contribution may be sent to the configured translation provider. Do not include private or sensitive information in public posts. Translation results can be imperfect; the original remains available and authoritative.

Public contributions remain available until deleted by their author or removed under moderation. Security and moderation records may be retained when necessary to prevent abuse, resolve appeals, or meet legal obligations. Account settings provide session, password, export, and deletion controls when signed in. Reports and privacy concerns can also be raised through the in-product moderation flow.
