2. How We Use Your Information

3. Anonymous Posting

When you post anonymously, your real name and alias are hidden from other users. However, your account data is still associated with that post in our system for moderation and legal compliance purposes. Anonymous posting protects your public identity, not your legal accountability.

NinePlans is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover such data has been collected, we will delete it immediately.

9. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption and Firebase security rules. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
