You retain full intellectual property ownership over the content (including text, files, media, code, and messages) that you create, upload, or transmit through the platform. However, by transmitting such content, you grant Boralances Studios a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, process, and display said content solely as necessary to operate, deliver, and maintain the functionality of the service for you and other participants.
5. Privacy & Information Protection.
5.1 Overview. We value your privacy and process personal data strictly in accordance with operational requirements. This section describes what we collect, why, and the rights available to you depending on where you live. We do not sell or trade your personally identifiable information to third parties.
5.2 What We Collect. Account data (username, email, hashed password, avatar), content you send (messages, files, reactions), and limited technical/usage data (timestamps, device/browser type, approximate connection info) needed to operate servers, direct messages, and moderation features. Message content may be end-to-end encrypted where the platform's encryption feature is enabled for a given server or DM.
5.3 Retention & Security. Data is retained for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, and enforce these Terms, after which it is deleted or anonymized within a reasonable period. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
5.4 European Economic Area, UK & Switzerland (GDPR / UK GDPR). If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, our processing relies on legal bases including contract performance, legitimate interests, consent, and legal obligation. You have the right to access, rectify, erase, or port your data, to restrict or object to processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Where data is transferred outside these regions, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
5.5 Germany (BDSG, in addition to the GDPR). German users hold all rights described in section 5.4 above under the GDPR, supplemented by Germany's Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz). This includes additional protections around employee data and profiling, and the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority of the relevant German federal state (Landesdatenschutzbehörde) or the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI).
5.6 California & Other U.S. States (CCPA/CPRA and similar). California residents (and residents of states with comparable laws) have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion or correction, to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (we do not sell personal information), and to non-discrimination for exercising these rights. Requests can be submitted using the contact details below.
5.7 Canada (PIPEDA). Canadian users have the right to access their personal information, request correction of inaccuracies, and withdraw consent to certain processing, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. Complaints may be directed to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if unresolved with us.
5.8 Brazil (LGPD). Brazilian users may request confirmation of processing, access, correction, anonymization, portability, deletion, and information about third parties with whom data is shared, and may lodge complaints with the Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD).
5.9 Australia (Privacy Act 1988). Australian users may request access to and correction of their personal information and may raise concerns with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) if a complaint is not resolved directly with us.
5.10 Japan (APPI). Users in Japan may request disclosure, correction, addition, deletion, or suspension of use of their personal data where it has been handled unlawfully or is no longer needed, and may raise concerns with the Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC) if unresolved with us.
5.11 China (PIPL). Users in mainland China have the right to know, decide, access, copy, correct, supplement, delete, and restrict the processing of their personal information, and to withdraw consent at any time. Where required, we obtain separate consent for sensitive personal information and any cross-border transfer of data outside mainland China.
5.12 Singapore (PDPA). Users in Singapore may withdraw consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of their personal data, request access to and correction of their data, and may contact the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) with unresolved complaints.
5.13 Other Jurisdictions (incl. South Africa POPIA, Turkey KVKK, and beyond). Regardless of your location, we extend a consistent baseline of rights to all users: the right to request a copy of your data, the right to request correction or deletion, and the right to ask how your data is used. Where local law provides additional or different rights, those local rights govern for users in that jurisdiction, and you may also contact your local data protection authority.
5.14 Children's Privacy. The platform is not directed at children under the applicable age of digital consent in their jurisdiction (generally 13, and higher in some regions, e.g. 16 in parts of the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children below that threshold; accounts found to violate this will be removed.
5.15 Exercising Your Rights. To make a privacy request of any kind, contact Boranil400@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request and will respond within the time frame required by applicable law.
5.16 Not Legal Advice. This section is provided as a general, good-faith summary for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. Privacy laws vary and change frequently; Boralances Studios recommends consulting a qualified attorney to confirm full compliance with the laws applicable to its specific operations and user base.
6. Demos, Placeholders & Optional Features. Any identity-verification documents, monetization components, payment gateways, or financial transactions featured within this application are strictly simulations, mockups, or placeholders for development/demo purposes. They do not process real financial assets or charges.
7. Disclaimer of Warranties. The platform and all associated services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. Boralances Studios explicitly disclaims all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted, secure, or error-free service availability.
8. Limitation of Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Boralances Studios, its developers, and affiliates shall not be held liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages—including loss of data, profits, reputation, or business interruption—arising directly or indirectly from your use of or inability to use the platform.
9. Severability. If any individual provision, clause, or section of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that specific provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it legal and enforceable, while all remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
10. Governing Law & Jurisdiction. These Terms of Service shall be governed by, interpreted, and construed in accordance with the laws of Turkey, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of Boralances shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts located in Turkey.
11. Modifications to Terms. We reserve the right to alter, modify, or update these Terms of Service at any time at our sole discretion. Any revisions will be published directly within this interface with an updated date. Your continued access to or usage of the platform following any modifications constitutes your formal acceptance of the revised terms.
