Introduction

Welcome to Developer Contacts ("we", "us", "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website, developercontacts.xyz (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: When you sign up, we collect your username, email address, and a securely hashed version of your password. Your password is never stored in plain text.
• User-Generated Content: We collect the content you voluntarily create, including the titles, descriptions, and tags of the posts you make. This information is public by design.
• Browser Storage Data: We use your browser's `localStorage` to store an authentication token after you log in. This allows you to remain logged in and make authenticated requests without having to re-enter your password for every action.

How We Use Your Information

Your information is used for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain the core functionality of our Service.
• To authenticate your account and prevent fraud or abuse.
• To display your username and post content publicly to other users, which is the primary function of the website.
• To allow you to manage your own posts (create, edit, and delete).

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others.

Data Security

We implement security measures to protect your data. Passwords are cryptographically hashed, and communication with our servers is handled securely. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

You have control over your content. You can perform the following actions while logged into your account:

• Edit and Delete Posts: You have the ability to edit or permanently delete the posts you have created at any time from your main profile page.

This is an automated process that will permanently remove your account and all associated user-generated content, such as your posts. This action is irreversible.

Children's Privacy

Our Service does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
