Privacy Policy

How Commune handles account, community, usage, and communication information.

Last updated June 18, 2026

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, such as your profile details, posts, replies, project pages, group activity, preferences, and messages you choose to send through Commune.

We may also collect technical and usage information, including device data, log data, page views, feature interactions, referral activity, and approximate location inferred from technical signals.

How We Use Information

We use information to operate Commune, show community content, personalize relevant features, provide notifications, protect the service, prevent abuse, troubleshoot issues, and improve the product.

We may use aggregated or de-identified information to understand community activity and product performance.

Sharing and Visibility

Content you post in public or shared community areas may be visible to other members or visitors depending on the page, group, project, and theme settings.

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that help operate Commune, when required by law, or when needed to protect users, the community, or the service.

Payments and Billing Providers

If you buy a paid feature, membership, subscription, boost, or other paid service, payment and billing information may be processed by Stripe or another payment provider. We do not need to store full card numbers to operate billing through Stripe.

Payment providers may process information such as name, email address, billing address, payment method details, transaction history, tax information, fraud signals, and related identifiers according to their own terms and privacy notices.

Cookies and Analytics

Commune may use cookies, local storage, analytics tools, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, measure feature usage, and understand how the service performs.

We use DataFast for website analytics. DataFast may process information such as IP address, browser and device information, user agent, country, cookies or similar identifiers, referrer and campaign data, page activity, and other usage events so we can understand traffic sources, product usage, and conversion paths.

Data Retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide Commune, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce policies, and maintain security.

Some community content may remain visible after account changes when necessary for conversation integrity, moderation records, or technical backups.

Your Choices

You can update parts of your profile and notification preferences in your account settings. You may request access, correction, export, or deletion of personal information where applicable.
