Terms of Service (ToS)

User Responsibility: All posts, comments, and media published on Cypher World reflect the views of the individual authors, not the administrators or host operators. Users are solely responsible for the content they generate and federate.

Moderation & Rights: The administrators reserve the right to remove any content, suspend user accounts, or block/defederate from remote instances at their sole discretion to maintain server health and community safety.

Decentralization Notice: Because Lemmy is part of the federated ActivityPub network, public posts published here may be copied, cached, and displayed by third-party servers around the world over which Cypher World has no jurisdiction or control.

Privacy Policy

Data Collection: We collect only the minimum data required to operate your account: your username, an optional email address (for password recovery), and your encrypted password.

Server Logs: IP addresses and user-agent strings may be temporarily logged for up to 14 days solely for rate-limiting, DDoS prevention, and server diagnostics, after which they are permanently purged.

Third-Party Sharing: We do not sell, rent, or monetize your personal data. We do not use third-party tracking scripts or invasive analytics tools.

Regulatory Compliance: We strive to align our privacy practices with modern data protection standards, including the principles outlined in Zimbabwe’s Cyber and Data Protection Act [Chapter 12:07], ensuring your personal data is processed securely and transparently.
