What's public
Your handle, display name, bio, avatar and record are public. Whether your individual calls are visible depends on your setting: everyone, mutual follows only, or only you. Crew messages are visible to crew members only.
Who we share it with
We don't sell your data. We use service providers to run Backd: [HOSTING PROVIDER], [DATABASE AND LOGIN PROVIDER] and [EMAIL PROVIDER]. When you tap through to Polymarket, you leave Backd and Polymarket's own privacy policy applies.
How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account is open. When you ask us to delete your account we delete your profile, calls and messages within [TIMEFRAME], except where we must keep something by law.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct, export or delete your data, or object to how we use it, by emailing [CONTACT EMAIL]. If you're in the UK you can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
Cookies
We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and to remember that you confirmed you're 18 or over. We don't use advertising cookies. [ANALYTICS DETAILS IF ADDED.]
