• Technical and usage data, such as server logs, page requests, referral information, and diagnostic information generated through normal use of the platform.
• Communication data, such as emails you send to us or responses we send to you about your account, support requests, moderation issues, or security matters.

3. How We Collect Personal Data

• directly from you when you sign up, log in, post content, update your profile, or contact us,
• automatically from your device and browser when you access or use the platform,
• from system-generated records created to keep the platform secure and functioning properly.

4. Why We Use Your Personal Data

We use personal data for the following purposes:

• to create and manage user accounts,
• to authenticate users and keep accounts secure,
• to allow users to post, manage, and interact with reviews and other content,
• to moderate content and enforce our Terms and Conditions,

• to respond to support requests and communicate with users,
• to maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the platform,
• to comply with legal obligations and handle complaints or disputes.

5. Legal Bases for Processing

Under GDPR, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases depending on the processing activity:

• Contract — where processing is necessary to provide your account and the core TruthUni service to you.
• Legitimate interests — where processing is necessary for platform security, moderation, fraud prevention, abuse prevention, product maintenance, and service administration, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Legal obligation — where processing is required to comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, or regulatory obligations.
• Consent — where required by law, including for certain optional communications or non-essential cookies and tracking technologies, if used.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

TruthUni may use cookies and similar technologies to keep users logged in, remember preferences, protect accounts, and maintain site functionality. Essential cookies that are necessary for security, login, and core platform operation may be used without asking for consent where permitted by law.

If TruthUni uses non-essential analytics, advertising, personalization, or third-party tracking cookies, those should only be activated after obtaining any consent required under applicable law.

7. Sharing of Personal Data

We do not sell personal data. We may share personal data only where necessary with:

• hosting, infrastructure, email, security, and technical service providers who help us operate TruthUni,
• professional advisers where necessary for legal, compliance, or dispute-related reasons,
• law enforcement, regulators, courts, or other authorities where required by law or where necessary to protect rights, safety, or the platform,
• a buyer, investor, or successor entity if TruthUni is reorganized, merged, sold, or transferred, subject to appropriate safeguards.

8. International Transfers

Some service providers may process data outside Ireland or the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred internationally, TruthUni will take steps intended to ensure an appropriate level of protection, such as relying on approved contractual safeguards where required.

9. Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to operate the platform, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our rules.

• Account data may be kept while your account remains active and for a limited period afterward where reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or dispute handling.
• Password reset and remember-me tokens should be kept only for short security-related periods and deleted or invalidated when expired, used, revoked, or no longer needed.
• Server and security logs may be retained for a limited period for security, fraud detection, and system integrity.
• User-generated content may remain visible or stored where necessary for platform integrity, moderation records, legal reasons, or legitimate community purposes, subject to applicable rights and review.

10. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, and disclosure. However, no internet-based service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Children and Age Requirement

TruthUni is not intended for children under 16. You must be at least 16 years old to create an account or submit personal data through the platform. If we become aware that personal data has been submitted by a child under 16 without valid authorization where required, we may remove the data and restrict or close the related account.
