Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2026-09-13

Private Social Feed is a Local Niche Media product. Local Niche Media is owned and operated by Percycom, LLC (“Percycom,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use Private Social Feed, how we use it, when it may be shared, and the choices you have regarding your information.

By using Private Social Feed, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information You Provide

When you create or use an account, join a Feed, or otherwise use the Service, you may provide information including:

• Your email address.
• Your name.
• Your date of birth.
• Information used to establish your eligibility for a particular Feed.
• Your profile photo or headshot.
• Your profile biography.
• Posts, replies, images, video, audio, and other content you submit.
• Group memberships and activity.
• Friend connections.
• Direct messages.
• Invitations you send or accept.
• Reports, feedback, and other communications you send to us.
• Responses you voluntarily provide through surveys, polls, research, or similar activities.

Some profile fields may be optional. Some information requested may also vary depending on the type of community you are joining.

2. Email Addresses and Membership Eligibility

Private Social Feed uses email addresses to create and maintain accounts, communicate with users, and, in some communities, determine whether someone is eligible to join a particular Feed.

Depending on the Feed, membership may be established through verification of an eligible email address, approval by a Feed administrator, or an invitation from an existing member.

We may send verification codes, membership notices, invitations, or other account-related communications to your email address.

Your email address is not displayed publicly on your profile or posts unless you choose to disclose it yourself. Feed administrators may have access to your email address when reasonably necessary to manage membership in that Feed.

3. Date of Birth and Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years old to use Private Social Feed.

We may collect your date of birth as part of determining whether you meet this age requirement.

Your date of birth is not displayed to other members as part of your profile.

4. Content and Community Activity

When you use Private Social Feed, we collect information about the content and activities associated with your account. This may include posts, replies, reactions, Group activity, friendships, invitations, and other interactions with the Service.

The visibility of content depends on the feature you use and the Feed in which you use it.

Posts made to Everybody may be viewed by members of that Feed.

Posts made to Friends are limited to the audience provided by that feature.

Groups exist within a particular Feed. Depending on the features and settings of the Service, members of that Feed may be able to view and join Groups, and Group posts may also appear in the main Feed.

Private Social Feeds are intended for members of their respective communities and are not designed as publicly browsable social networks.

5. Direct Messages

Private Social Feed may allow members to communicate through direct messages.

We store direct messages as necessary to provide the messaging service. Direct messages are not displayed in the main Feed or on member profiles.

We may access, preserve, or review messages when reasonably necessary to operate the Service, investigate reports or abuse, enforce our Terms of Use or Community Guidelines, protect users or others, comply with legal obligations, or maintain the security of the Service.

6. Member Safety

Private Social Feed provides tools that allow members to control their interactions with other members.

You may block another member if you do not want that person to interact with you through Private Social Feed. Blocking may limit that person's ability to view or interact with your content, contact you through direct messages, or otherwise interact with you through the Service.

You may also report content, accounts, or behavior that you believe violates our Terms of Use or Community Guidelines.

If you are being harassed, threatened, stalked, or believe you may be in danger, do not rely solely on Private Social Feed's blocking or reporting tools. Contact local law enforcement, emergency services, community management, institutional authorities, or another appropriate authority as the situation warrants.

We may review reports and take action we consider appropriate, including removing content or restricting, suspending, or terminating accounts.

7. Invitations

Private Social Feed may allow members to invite other people to a Feed using personal invitation links or other sharing tools.

When someone uses an invitation and subsequently joins a Feed, we may record information about that invitation, including which existing member issued it.

In some communities, a valid invitation from an existing member may establish eligibility to join without separate administrator approval. Invitation information may therefore be retained as part of the membership record.

We may use invitation information to operate membership and invitation features, understand how communities grow, investigate membership questions, and prevent or respond to abuse.

8. Information Collected Automatically

When you access Private Social Feed, we may automatically collect certain technical and usage information, such as:

• IP address.
• Browser and device information.
• Pages or features accessed.
• Dates and times of activity.
• Referring pages or links.
• Basic interaction and usage information.
• Error, security, and diagnostic information.

We may use this information to operate, secure, maintain, analyze, and improve Private Social Feed.

9. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Private Social Feed uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service.

For example, cookies may be used to keep you signed in, maintain your session, remember certain choices, support invitation attribution, protect against abuse, and understand how the Service is being used.

Some cookies are necessary for Private Social Feed to function properly.

If advertising or analytics services use additional cookies or similar technologies, we may provide additional information or choices where required.

10. How We Use Information

We may use information collected through Private Social Feed to:

• Create and maintain accounts.
• Determine and verify eligibility for individual Feeds.
• Process membership requests, approvals, invitations, suspensions, and other membership actions.
• Provide community-specific Feeds.
• Display profiles and user-generated content.
• Operate posts, replies, reactions, friendships, Groups, messaging, and invitations.
• Communicate with you about your account, memberships, or the Service.

11. Advertising

Private Social Feed may display advertising, sponsorships, or other promotional content.

We may use information about the Feed or community you belong to, general usage of the Service, or the context in which advertising appears to select, deliver, or measure advertising.

If we use third-party advertising technologies that collect information about users or devices, we will handle those technologies in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.

12. Surveys, Polls, and Research

From time to time, Private Social Feed may invite members to participate in surveys, polls, interviews, research, or similar activities conducted by us or in cooperation with companies, organizations, or researchers.

Participation is voluntary.

Some opportunities may offer compensation. If compensation is offered, relevant terms will be disclosed before you choose to participate.

Before participating, you may also be provided with additional information about what information will be collected, who is conducting or sponsoring the research, and how responses will be used or shared.

You may choose not to participate in research opportunities without affecting your ability to use Private Social Feed.

You may also opt out of receiving future invitations to surveys or research.

13. How We Share Information

We may share information in the following circumstances:

With other members. Information you choose to include in your profile, posts, replies, Groups, and other community features may be visible to other members according to the functionality and audience of those features.

With Feed administrators. Administrators of a Feed may receive information reasonably necessary to manage that community, including membership information, membership requests, email addresses, reasons provided for requesting membership, and information associated with invitations or membership status.

With service providers. We may use companies or individuals to provide hosting, email delivery, analytics, security, technical infrastructure, advertising, or other services on our behalf. They may receive information necessary to perform those services.

For surveys and research. Information may be shared with a company, organization, researcher, or other party involved in a survey or research activity when that sharing is disclosed as part of the opportunity.

For legal and safety reasons. We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to comply with law or legal process, protect the safety or rights of users or others, investigate fraud or abuse, enforce our agreements, or protect Private Social Feed and Percycom.

Business transfers. Information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, sale of assets, reorganization, or similar business transaction involving Percycom or Private Social Feed.

We do not sell your email address or direct messages to advertisers.

14. Your Choices

Depending on the features available, you may be able to:

• Edit certain profile information.
• Choose the audience for certain posts.
• Join or leave Groups.
• Add or remove friends.
• Block other users.
• Delete posts or other content.
• Opt out of survey or research invitations.
• Manage certain communications from Private Social Feed.

You may contact us if you have questions about accessing, correcting, or deleting information associated with your account.

15. Account and Data Deletion

You may request deletion of your account by contacting us.

When an account is deleted, we may delete, anonymize, or disassociate information associated with the account, subject to technical limitations and legitimate reasons for retaining certain information.

For example, we may retain information when reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, investigate abuse, maintain security, prevent fraud, or enforce our agreements.

Some information may also remain temporarily in backups or other systems before being deleted through normal retention processes.

16. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no internet service or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for protecting access to your email account and devices used to access Private Social Feed.

17. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate Private Social Feed, provide requested services, maintain accounts and memberships, enforce our policies, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect the Service and its users, and fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Different types of information may be retained for different periods depending on their purpose.

18. Third-Party Links and Services

Posts, advertisements, or other parts of Private Social Feed may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Information you provide directly to another website, advertiser, company, or service is governed by that party's privacy practices.

19. Children's Privacy

Private Social Feed is intended only for people who are 18 years of age or older.

We do not knowingly permit people under 18 to create accounts. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we may suspend or delete the account and associated information as appropriate.

20. Feed Administrators and Associated Organizations

Feed administrators may have access to information needed to manage membership in their community, as described in this Privacy Policy.

A school, property owner, property manager, organization, association, or other entity associated with the subject of a Feed does not automatically receive access to private account information merely because a Feed exists for that community.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Feed administrators are community members using administrative tools provided by Private Social Feed and are not employees, agents, or representatives of Percycom, LLC.

Private Social Feed may disclose information to an institution, organization, property manager, law enforcement agency, government authority, or other appropriate party when legally required to do so or when reasonably necessary to address a safety, security, legal, fraud, or serious abuse matter.

21. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as Private Social Feed changes or as legal or operational requirements evolve.

When we make material changes, we may provide notice through the Service or by other appropriate means.

The effective date at the top of this Privacy Policy indicates when the current version became effective.
