Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 20, 2025

1. Introduction

At stuflog, privacy is one of the aspects we care about most.

While this privacy policy provides you with the best possible experience when you are using Stuflog ("Stuflog," "we" or "us"), we want to make sure you understand and have control over the information we collect from you, how it is used, and when it is shared.

  • Stuflog is a Public platform: Our societies are most of time public and anyone can see your profile, posts, and notions.
  • We collect very limited data about you: We collect minimal information that can be used to identify you by default. If you want to create an account to create content we don't require you to give us your real name. We don't track your precise location. You can share as much or as little about yourself as you want when using Stuflog.
  • We use your data to make Stuflog flawless: Any data we collect is used primarily to provide our Services, which are focused on allowing people to come together and form societies. We don't sell your personal data to third parties, including data brokers.
  • You can control your experience: Go to privacy settings.
  • If you have questions: about how we use data, please ask us
