Plain-English summary
The service has several risk flags concerning the handling of user data. Information posted in public forums remains public indefinitely, even after account closure, and its deletion from third-party sites is not guaranteed. There's a risk of data transfer to countries with potentially weaker privacy laws. The company may infer health information from user data and uses cookies for targeted advertising, potentially constituting a 'sale' or 'share' under some privacy laws. The privacy notice can be updated at any time, with changes effective immediately, and users in Canada implicitly agree to data practices by using the platform. Users might also be charged for excessive data access requests.
