This document is required reading for all visitors and users of Worlio LLC's websites and services (collectively, the “Services”). It outlines our rules, their purpose, enforcement actions, and how to avoid issues. By using our Services, you agree to comply with the following terms.

Rules

Global Rules

These rules apply across all Worlio LLC Services.

Illegal activities: Worlio LLC complies with U.S. laws and regulations. Any illegal activity on our Services is prohibited, and we will investigate all claims of such activity. If illegal conduct is confirmed, we will take appropriate action, including content removal and account termination.; If you believe our investigation is insufficient, we encourage you to contact U.S. law enforcement directly. We will cooperate fully with U.S. authorities when presented with lawful requests.
Malicious Content: Intentionally uploading, linking, or promoting malicious content—such as malware, phishing schemes, scams, or data loggers—is prohibited. Violators will have their content removed, and their accounts may be terminated.
Abuse of Services: Actions that intentionally disrupt the quality, stability, or security of our Services are strictly prohibited and may result in permanent account termination. Prohibited actions include, but are not limited to, spamming, exploiting bugs, launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, server probing, or submitting false reports.; Exceptions may be made for users who responsibly report bugs or security vulnerabilities through proper channels.

Moderation Neutrality

Worlio LLC strives to maintain impartiality in moderating content, users, and reports. We do not take action based on off-site activities due to challenges in verifying such claims. Our moderation team is expected to uphold high standards of neutrality and professionalism, and personal biases or grudges will not influence decisions.

In rare cases, our moderation team may unanimously decide to take action against a user who has not violated specific rules if their behavior significantly disrupts the community or degrades the quality of our Services. Such decisions will be made transparently and documented.

Forum rules

Specific rules for our forum are available at this thread.

Foreign Regulations

Worlio LLC is based in the United States and operates under U.S. law. We will comply with lawful U.S. warrants and legal requests. We do not comply with foreign regulations that conflict with U.S. law or undermine the core principles of privacy, security, or individual rights.

To protect user data and privacy, Worlio LLC will not comply with foreign laws or regulations that jeopardize user security, privacy, or rights, including those enforced by entities such as the UK's OFCOM or Australia's eSafety Commissioner.

If you reside in a country with restrictive regulations, we recommend using a secure, trusted VPN to protect your privacy while accessing our Services.

Child Safety

Worlio LLC is committed to protecting children online and ensuring the safety and security of all users worldwide. Users must be at least 13 years old to register for an account on our Services. Adult content must be flagged and is restricted from minors until they verify their age or reach the age of majority. Messages and posts involving minors are screened and filtered for their safety.

Any user found to have misrepresented their age will face permanent account termination. If we have reason to believe a child's safety is at risk, Worlio LLC will contact law enforcement in the user's country of origin, providing relevant details to assist in any investigation. We will comply with lawful requests from law enforcement in the user's country to ensure the protection of our users globally.

Etiquette

Worlio LLC values free expression. We will not take action against users solely for expressing opinions or engaging in verbal disputes. Users can block others if interactions become problematic.

Moderation decisions are final unless new, verified information warrants reconsideration. Repeatedly submitting the same report will not alter our decision. Disagreements with others' opinions do not inherently constitute rule violations, and complaints about other users may reflect poorly on the complainant within the community.

Users Outside the United States and Canada: Your data may be processed in the United States, Canada, or other countries where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

Use of Information

We collect, store, use, and disclose data to:

Provide and improve our Services, create and manage accounts, identify users, respond to inquiries, and send administrative or promotional communications.
Generate anonymous, aggregated statistics for analysis and reporting. These statistics do not identify individual users and may be shared with third parties at our discretion.
Except as described in this Privacy Policy, we will not use your data for other purposes without notifying you via an updated policy.

We do not sell customer lists and will strive to keep your email address private, except as outlined below.

In addition to the uses described above, we may disclose your data:

To comply with lawful U.S. orders, such as subpoenas or warrants, regardless of our safeguards.
To third-party service providers who assist in operating or improving our Services, provided they use the data solely for that purpose.
In connection with legal investigations or to protect our rights, property, or users, including disclosing data to identify or pursue legal action against individuals causing harm.

Third-Party Websites

Links to external websites are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these websites, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to data collected by third parties.

Security

We use commercially reasonable measures to protect your data and limit unauthorized access. However, no system is entirely secure, and we cannot eliminate all risks. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials, such as not sharing your password and logging out after use.

Choices, Modifications, and Retention

Opt-Out: You may opt out of receiving promotional communications by following unsubscribe instructions in our emails or contacting us directly. We may still send service-related communications, such as updates to our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.
Account Modifications: You can update your email address or profile picture (but not your username) within your account settings. You may request data deletion, but we may retain certain data as required by law or for legitimate business purposes. Deleted data may remain in our archives.
Data Retention: We retain your data as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law, which may extend beyond the termination of your account.

Amendment of this Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically. Significant changes to how we use your data will be communicated via email to your last provided address or by posting a notice on our Services. Changes take effect 30 days after notification or immediately for new users.

If your email address is invalid or you fail to receive our notice, the email or posting will still constitute effective notice. If you object to changes, you must request account deactivation before the effective date. Continued use of our Services after changes indicates your acceptance of the updated terms.

We recommend reviewing this policy periodically. The latest update date is displayed at the top of this document.
