Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Shout Out! collects and uses information when you use https://shoutout.party/.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect:

• Shout text and leaderboard information;
• payment amount, status, and transaction identifiers;
• billing or contact information provided through our payment provider;
• IP address, device, browser, and technical logs.

Do not include private, confidential, or sensitive personal information in a Shout.

2. Payments

Payments are handled by our payment provider.

They may collect payment details, billing information, country or region, and information required for fraud prevention, tax, or regulatory compliance.

We do not directly store complete payment-card numbers or card security codes.

3. Public Content

Shout Out! is a public service.

Published Shouts, rankings, payment totals, timestamps, and recognized X mentions may be visible to anyone and may be indexed by search engines.

Other people may copy, screenshot, quote, archive, or redistribute public Shouts.

4. Content Moderation

Shouts may be processed by automated moderation systems, including third-party AI services such as DeepSeek / DeepSeek Flash.

Submitted text may be sent to these providers to detect prohibited, fraudulent, abusive, or high-risk content.

5. How We Use and Share Information

We use information to operate the Service, calculate rankings, process payments, moderate content, prevent fraud and abuse, maintain security, provide support, and comply with legal obligations.

We may share necessary information with payment providers, moderation providers, hosting and infrastructure providers, and security or fraud-prevention services.

We do not sell personal information for money.

6. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the Service and meet payment, accounting, security, fraud-prevention, and legal requirements.

Public Shouts and leaderboard records may remain available while the leaderboard or archive remains part of the Service.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or otherwise control your personal information.

To make a privacy request, contact support@shoutout.party.

8. Security and International Processing

We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no internet service can be completely secure.

Information may be processed in countries other than the country where you live, including by our service providers.

9. Children

Shout Out! is intended for users aged 18 or older.

10. Changes and Contact

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page.
