Some information is intended to remain private.

This can include:

  • Authentication credentials
  • Private messages
  • Private ShockMail
  • Private settings
  • Account security information
  • Other information that is specifically designated as private

Private information is not intentionally made public simply because you use ShockSocial.

4. SHOCKMAIL

ShockMail is ShockSocial's private messaging system.

Messages are intended only for the participants of the conversation.

We do not casually read private ShockMail.

Private communications may be processed or accessed when reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, legal requirements, or a specifically designed moderation or safety process.

ShockSocial may use automated systems, including AI-based moderation, to help detect potentially harmful or inappropriate public content.

  • Usernames
  • Display names
  • Public posts
  • Public stories
  • Public blogs
  • Public profile customization
  • Custom HTML/CSS submitted for moderation
  • Other content explicitly submitted for moderation

AI moderation is a safety tool and is not the sole security mechanism.

ShockSocial may use additional technical safeguards such as content sanitization, access controls, sandboxing, and human review.

Private information is not automatically sent to AI systems simply because it exists on your account.

ShockSocial does not intentionally provide AI systems with:

6. CUSTOM HTML AND CSS

ShockSocial may allow users to customize their profiles with HTML and CSS.

Submitted code may be automatically and technically inspected for security and moderation purposes.

Dangerous code may be blocked or removed.

7. UPLOADED FILES

Users may upload files such as profile pictures and backgrounds.

We do not use local storage as a replacement for secure server-side authorization.
