Privacy Policy

Ambobs is a text-first social network for thoughtful posts, replies, and conversations. This policy explains what information Ambobs may collect, why it is used, and the choices available to users.

Information you provide

When you create or use an Ambobs account, you may provide a username and content such as posts, replies, profile information, reactions, and other information you choose to publish. If you sign in with Google, Google processes authentication and may share account details permitted by the sign-in flow, such as your email address, display name, and profile image. Ambobs does not receive your Google password. Do not publish passwords, financial information, precise location, or other sensitive information in public posts.

Information collected automatically

Ambobs and its service providers may process basic technical information needed to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the service, such as browser and device information, approximate usage information, and security records.

Analytics

Ambobs may use analytics services to understand site usage, performance, and traffic. These services may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own policies.

Advertising

Ambobs may use Google AdSense and related Google advertising technologies. Advertising services may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, measure, and personalize advertising where permitted by applicable law and user settings. Users can manage advertising and privacy choices through the controls provided by Google and their browser.

Cookies

Cookies and local storage may be used for authentication, preferences, security, analytics, and site functionality. Blocking cookies or local storage may prevent some account or site features from working correctly.

How information is used

Information is used to provide accounts and conversations, maintain security, prevent abuse, operate and improve Ambobs, understand performance, comply with legal obligations, and support advertising where applicable.

Public content and feeds

Posts, replies, usernames, and other information you intentionally publish publicly may be visible to other visitors, included in public RSS feeds, shared by links, and indexed by search engines. Public content can be copied, cached, or archived by third parties even after you remove it from Ambobs. Do not publish information you expect to remain private.

Service providers and sharing

Ambobs does not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that support hosting, storage, database operations, authentication, site analytics, security, and advertising where applicable. Those providers process information under their own terms and privacy notices. We may also disclose information when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect users, rights, safety, or the service.

Retention, access, and deletion

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain security, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Where account features permit, users can edit or remove their published content and manage account information. Removing a post from Ambobs does not guarantee immediate removal from search engine caches, third-party archives, or copies already made by others. Some technical, backup, security, or legal records may remain when retention is necessary.

Children

Ambobs is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a minor's information has been submitted improperly, contact Ambobs so the issue can be reviewed.

Your privacy choices

You can limit what you share publicly, manage browser cookies and local storage, and use available account controls to update or remove content. Where applicable, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a copy of personal information. Requests can be submitted through the help and account channels available on Ambobs; we may need to verify your identity before responding.

International processing

Ambobs and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, applicable safeguards will be used for international transfers.

Policy changes

We may update this policy when the service, laws, or privacy practices change. The current version will be published on this page.

For privacy questions or requests, use the Ambobs help and account channels available on the service.

Accounts, drafts, and search

Sign-in uses Google. Ambobs uses a signed session cookie to keep you signed in. Saved drafts are stored with your account and are not public posts; publishing a draft makes its published content public. Search requires sign-in, but that requirement does not make the posts, usernames, hashtags, or feed private. Search queries are sent to Ambobs to retrieve results and may appear in operational request records. Do not enter confidential information in searches.

Images and embedded media

Uploaded post images are stored using Vercel Blob with public image URLs. Anyone who has a public image URL may be able to view or copy it. Unsplash supplies photo search and images; selecting a photo may send the photo-selection event to Unsplash. YouTube thumbnails and embedded videos may contact YouTube or Google and expose technical information such as your IP address and browser details to those services. Their own privacy notices apply.

Infrastructure and performance services

Ambobs uses Vercel for hosting and media storage and Neon-hosted Postgres for account and content storage. The site includes Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights, and Google Analytics/Tag Manager scripts. These services may process usage, page, performance, browser, network, and diagnostic information as configured. Browser and provider privacy controls may affect collection. This policy does not promise that every third-party service is cookie-free.

AI-generated research

Automatic Tavily research generation is currently disabled. Ordinary searches do not trigger that generation feature. Previously generated public research posts may remain visible and contain source links and AI disclosures. If research generation is reintroduced, this notice should be updated before the feature is enabled to explain query sharing and any model providers.
