This personalization is part of the functionality of the Service.

If you use the Journal feature, your entries are associated with your account and are intended to remain private account content.

They should not be publicly displayed to other users unless a future feature clearly gives you the choice to share particular information.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information.

However, no online service, database, transmission method, or storage system can guarantee absolute security.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
