6. Visibility and access control 

6.1 Public Content 

When users choose to submit Public Content, that content is intended for public consumption and is viewable by other users and the general public, including unauthenticated users where allowed by platform design. Public Content may be indexed, surfaced in recommendations and included in discovery features.

6.2 Restricted Content 

Restricted Content is visible only to defined groups, such as followers, trusted networks or other configured audiences. Access is determined by platform logic and user settings.

6.3 Private information 

Personal Data such as email address, account identifiers, authentication data and private communications is not public and is not included in Trend Data. Such information is used only for the purposes described in this Policy.

6.4 Redistribution of User Content

User Content may include photos, text or other material that identifies the submitting user. Identifiable User Content is disclosed by the act of submission and is displayed in accordance with platform visibility rules as Public Content or Restricted Content.

6.6 Removal of user content

Users may delete User Content within the platform. Deleted content is removed from active display, subject to limited residual storage in backups for operational and legal purposes.
