Privacy Policy
1voice.us — Effective October 1, 2026

1voice.us ("1voice," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains what personal information we collect when you use the 1voice website, mobile and desktop applications, APIs, and related services (together, the "Services"), how we use and share it, and the choices you have.

This Policy is part of our Terms of Service ("Terms"). By creating an account, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Information We Collect
We collect information as described below; much of what you post on 1voice is public by design (see Section 3).

(a) Information you provide directly
Account information: username, display name, email address, password, date of birth (for age verification), and optional profile details such as a photo, bio, location, or links.
Content: posts, comments, messages, replies, reactions, uploads of images, video, or audio, and other material you submit to the Services ("Your Content").
Communications: your emails and messages to us, such as support requests, moderation reports, and DMCA notices.
Payment information: if you purchase paid features, payment details are processed by our payment provider; we do not store full card numbers.

(b) Information collected automatically
Usage data: pages viewed, features used, time spent, clicks, search queries, and interactions with other users' content.
Device and log data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, referring URLs, and dates and times of access.
AI features: inputs and outputs you submit to our AI-powered features are logged to provide and improve those features (see Section 2).

(c) Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies, local storage, pixels, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, understand how the Services are used, and protect against fraud and abuse. See Section 5 for details.

(d) Information from third parties
Other users: people you interact with may provide information about you (for example, mentions, replies, or reports).
Service providers: we may receive limited information from analytics, hosting, and payment providers that help us operate the Services.
Public sources: where lawful, we may obtain business or contact details from public records or databases.

Note: this document is a starting draft. Have a licensed attorney review and finalize it before publishing it on 1voice.us, and complete any placeholders.

2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:

Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services, including your account, feed, and interactive features.
Operate our free-speech-first moderation program: process reports and enforce the narrow rules described in Section 4 of the Terms.
Provide AI-powered features, and use inputs and outputs (in de-identified or aggregated form where feasible) to train, evaluate, and improve those features and fight misuse.
Personalize your experience, such as ranking content and remembering your settings.
Communicate with you, including account notices, security alerts, support responses, and - with your consent where required - updates about new features.
Protect the Services and users: detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, spam, abuse, illegal activity, and security incidents.
Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.
Analyze usage in the aggregate to understand performance and develop new features.

We do not use your private messages or sensitive personal information for advertising purposes, and we do not sell your personal information.

3. Public Nature of the Services and How We Share Information
1voice is a social network. Information you post publicly - including your profile, posts, comments, likes, follows, and replies - is visible to other users and to the general public, including through search engines. Private and direct messages are visible only to the participants you choose, subject to the sharing below. Think carefully before posting anything you consider private.

We share information in the following limited ways:

With your direction: we share information as you instruct, such as when you make content public or connect the Services to third-party apps.
Service providers: we share information with vendors that provide hosting, infrastructure, analytics, email delivery, payment processing, and similar support, under contracts limiting their use of it.
Legal compliance and protection: we may preserve or disclose information if we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, valid legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of 1voice, our users, or the public - including in response to reports of CSAM or credible threats of violence, and to notify law enforcement where required.
Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as a business asset, subject to the promises in this Policy.
With consent: we will share information for any other purpose with your consent.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own advertising. Aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably identify you may be used or shared for any lawful purpose.

4. Categories of Personal Information Collected
For residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws (such as California), the table below summarizes the categories of personal information we collect, the sources, and the purposes. We do not "sell" or "share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under those laws.

We retain each category only as long as needed for the purposes in Section 2 or as required by law. See Section 6.

5. Cookies and Tracking Choices
We use the following types of cookies and similar technologies:

Strictly necessary: keep you signed in and secure; required for the Services to function.
Preferences: remember your settings, such as theme and feed defaults.
Analytics: help us understand aggregate usage so we can improve the Services.
