Privacy Policy

Sigmoid Social is hosted by MastHost, and the terms specified in MastHost's Privacy Policy extends to Sigmoid Social. The only way we can access private communications from Sigmoid Social is through exporting the database stored by MastoHost. We will do this periodically for the purpose of storing backups, and in case we have to migrate to another hosting solution. We will not inspect the database for any other reasons.

Do we disclose any information to outside parties?

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our site, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety.

Your public content may be downloaded by other servers in the network. Your public and followers-only posts are delivered to the servers where your followers reside, and direct messages are delivered to the servers of the recipients, in so far as those followers or recipients reside on a different server than this.

When you authorize an application to use your account, depending on the scope of permissions you approve, it may access your public profile information, your following list, your followers, your lists, all your posts, and your favourites. Applications can never access your e-mail address or password.
