Privacy Policy

Account information: Your email address (used for login and account recovery) and a password. You may also provide a display name, username, bio, location details, pronouns, gender, and other profile details.

Second Life verification: When you verify your Second Life avatar, we store your SL avatar UUID and avatar name to link and lock your in-world identity to your DaHublife account.

Content you post: Photos, videos, comments, messages, bulletins, event listings, and any other content you create or share on the platform.

Usage data: Information about how you interact with DaHublife, including your online status (heartbeat), posts liked, accounts followed, pages visited, and device/browser information.

Payment information: When you purchase a Pro subscription, we record the transaction amount, subscription duration, payment source (in-world kiosk or web checkout), and expiration date. We do not store credit card numbers — payment processing is handled by our payment providers (Wix/Stripe for web checkouts; Linden Lab L$ transactions for in-world kiosk payments).

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve DaHublife features
• Authenticate your identity and secure your account
• Display your profile, posts, and activity to other users according to your privacy settings
• Process Pro subscription payments and manage subscription status
• Send you notifications about activity (follows, likes, comments, messages, events)
• Enforce our community guidelines and terms of service
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security issues
• Comply with legal obligations

Your profile information and posted content are visible to other DaHublife users based on your privacy settings. Public profiles are visible to all users; followers-only profiles restrict visibility to approved followers.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Service providers: Third-party vendors who help us operate the platform (hosting, payment processing, email delivery). These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Legal authorities: If required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of DaHublife, our users, or others.
• Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, information may be transferred subject to this policy.

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. If you delete your account, we permanently remove your profile, posts, comments, messages, pages, and associated data within a reasonable period. Some information may be retained in backup systems for a limited time or where required by law.

Payment logs and moderation records may be retained for longer periods for fraud prevention and dispute resolution.

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including encrypted password storage, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Account verification (SL avatar linking) adds an additional layer of security by ensuring each account is tied to a unique Second Life identity.

DaHublife uses local storage and cookies to maintain your session, remember your appearance preferences (theme, color, text size), and track authentication state. We do not use advertising trackers or sell tracking data to third parties.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your account and data
• Opt out of certain communications
• Control who sees your profile via privacy settings

To exercise these rights, use the in-app account deletion tool or contact us through the platform.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent national laws:

• Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): You may request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations.
• Right to restriction of processing: You may request that we limit processing of your data in certain circumstances.
• Right to data portability: You may receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format and transmit it to another service.
• Right to object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
• Right to lodge a complaint: You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. However, we encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns.

Lawful basis for processing: We process your personal data based on (a) your consent, (b) the performance of a contract (providing the services you requested), (c) compliance with legal obligations, and (d) our legitimate interests in operating and securing the platform.

International data transfers: Your data may be transferred outside the EEA/UK/Switzerland. We rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or another valid transfer mechanism, to ensure your data is protected to EEA-equivalent standards.

Automated decision-making: We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects, except where necessary to enforce our community guidelines (e.g., automated spam or abuse detection).

To exercise your GDPR rights, contact us through the platform. We will respond within one month, extendable by two months for complex requests.

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete it, the right to correct it, and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. DaHublife does not sell your personal information as defined by California law. To exercise these rights, contact us through the platform.

United Kingdom: UK residents have rights under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, mirroring the rights described in the GDPR section above.

Brazil (LGPD): Residents of Brazil have rights under the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), including rights of access, correction, deletion, portability, and objection, which we honor as described in the GDPR section above.

DaHublife is intended for users who are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in their jurisdiction). Second Life's terms require users to be 16+, and adult content on the platform requires users to be 18+. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16. If you believe we have collected information from a minor, please contact us so we can delete it.

DaHublife integrates with or links to third-party services including Second Life, Google (for authentication), Giphy, and payment providers. These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services.

Social links you add to your profile (e.g., Discord, Flickr, YouTube, Instagram) direct visitors to those external platforms — DaHublife does not control how those platforms handle your data.

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, including the United States, where our servers and service providers are located. By using DaHublife, you consent to such transfers. For EEA/UK/Swiss residents, see Section 8 for information on safeguards used for such transfers.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify users through the platform. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of DaHublife after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, wish to exercise your privacy rights, or have a data protection inquiry, please contact us through the DaHublife platform or contact our support team. For GDPR/EEA requests, we will act as your point of contact and coordinate with our Data Protection representative as needed.
