If you do not agree to any provisions contained in the Terms of Use, you are not authorised to use the Website. You may be denied access to the Website, with or without notice to you if you do not comply with any provisions of the Terms of Use.

Amendments. We may from time to time modify the Terms of Use and will post a copy of the amended Terms of Use on the Website, so we encourage you to review them periodically. If we make any substantial changes to the Terms of Use, we will notify you by sending a notice to the email address specified in your account or by posting a prominent notice on our pages.

1. Resources Used for the Provision of Services

User accounts have fixed limits in order that we can provide a well functioning service for all users. We can disable your account should there be any attempt to use the service in a way that we deem to be unreasonable and that affects the usage of the service by others. What consists of 'reasonable use' is completely at our discretion and your account may be disbled without prior notice if your usage is disruptive and if deemed necessary to restore a quality of service.

2. Protection of Privacy, User Data

As spelled out in our Privacy Policy, personal and account information will never be disclosed to third parties under any circumstances other than to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process, as required by law, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. We will never sell or share any of this data.

Once a secret has been received by a recipient, we have no way of retrieving said secret again, nor do we log or keep any data that tracks the sender or receiver's IP address beyond 14 days. Necessary data that attaches the contents of a secret to a user account is kept only until the secret is received, at which point it is destroyed permanently. 3.
