Public information

Information submitted for public profiles, listings, events, contributor recognition, team pages, interviews, or media coverage may be displayed publicly after review. Do not submit confidential information for public publication.

Service providers and sharing

Seattle Desi TV may use trusted hosting, database, authentication, email, analytics, storage, media, and operational service providers. Information may be shared with them only as reasonably needed to operate the platform. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect safety or rights, or during an organizational transition.

Cookies and similar technologies

The platform may use cookies, local storage, authentication tokens, analytics, and similar technologies to keep users signed in, remember preferences, maintain security, measure performance, and improve services. Browser settings may allow you to restrict some of these technologies, although portions of the platform may then stop working correctly.

Data retention and security

We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for operations, records, safety, legal compliance, dispute handling, and legitimate community purposes. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

• You may request corrections to personal information or public listings.
• You may unsubscribe from non-essential communications using available controls.
• You may request account or profile review, subject to legal, operational, archival, and safety requirements.
• Business and organization owners may use available claim and management processes for eligible listings.

Children and youth

Youth participation may require parent, guardian, school, organization, or program authorization depending on the activity. Users should not submit a minor's sensitive personal information without appropriate authority and consent.

Third-party services

The website may link to or embed third-party services, social platforms, maps, forms, payment tools, video services, or external websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the platform, services, or legal requirements change. The updated date shown on this page indicates the latest revision.
