9. AI-Powered Features

Wares Point may introduce features powered by artificial intelligence.

If an AI feature requires an external AI service to process your request, information you intentionally provide to that feature—including prompts, text, images, files, or other submitted content—may be transmitted to the service provider necessary to perform that request.

Wares Point will use reasonable measures to disclose the use of external AI processing where appropriate.

Users should not submit passwords, payment card details, Social Security numbers, confidential business information, or other highly sensitive personal information to AI tools unless the feature specifically requires that information and clearly explains how it will be handled.

The privacy practices of an external AI provider may also apply to information processed through that provider.

10. When Information May Be Disclosed

Wares Point does not sell personal information for money.

Wares Point also does not provide user account or profile information to unrelated third parties for their own independent direct-marketing lists.

Information may nevertheless be disclosed when reasonably necessary to organizations that provide services required to operate Wares Point, including:

• Website hosting and infrastructure providers
• Email delivery providers
• Google Analytics
• Google AdSense and advertising technology providers
• Stripe and related payment infrastructure
• Security and anti-abuse services
• Backup and technical service providers
• Affiliate networks when necessary for referral attribution
• AI service providers when a user intentionally uses an AI-powered feature

These providers may process information only to the extent necessary for their services or according to their own applicable privacy responsibilities and terms.

Information may also be disclosed if reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law
• Respond to lawful court orders, subpoenas, warrants, or governmental requests
• Investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents
• Enforce Wares Point policies and agreements
• Protect the rights, property, or safety of Wares Point, its users, or others
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

If Wares Point or substantially all of its assets are transferred to another operator, relevant information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to applicable privacy obligations.

A Note About the Legal Meaning of “Sharing”

Certain privacy laws use the word “sharing” as a defined legal term, particularly in connection with cross-context behavioral advertising.

For example, California law provides qualifying consumers with a right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. California Privacy Protection Agency

The use of advertising technology such as Google AdSense may therefore be considered “sharing” under some laws even though Wares Point does not sell lists of user information or intentionally provide account information to unrelated companies for direct marketing.

Where such laws apply, Wares Point will provide applicable privacy choices and honor legally required opt-out mechanisms.

11. Public Community Content

Wares Point is a community platform.

Information you publish publicly—including usernames, profile information, posts, comments, replies, project descriptions, reviews, and other public submissions—may:

• Be visible to anyone on the Internet
• Appear in search engine results
• Be quoted or linked by other users
• Be copied or preserved by third parties outside Wares Point's control

You should assume that anything intentionally posted to a public Wares Point area may become publicly accessible.

Deleting your account does not necessarily remove copies of information previously copied, quoted, archived, indexed, or independently stored by third parties.

12. Private Messages

Wares Point may provide private messaging or other non-public communication features.

Private messages are not intended to be publicly displayed. However, they may be stored on Wares Point systems and may be accessed when reasonably necessary for:

• Technical support
• Security investigations
• Abuse or harassment reports
• Enforcement of community rules
• Fraud prevention
• Compliance with legal obligations

Wares Point does not routinely read private messages for advertising purposes.

13. Data Retention

Wares Point retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Retention periods may depend on:

• Whether your account remains active
• The nature of the information
• Community moderation requirements
• Security and anti-fraud needs
• Transaction and accounting requirements
• Legal or regulatory obligations
• Backup schedules
• Pending disputes or legal claims

Public community content may be retained after account closure where necessary to preserve conversation continuity, moderation records, or legitimate community interests. Where appropriate, identifying account information may instead be removed or anonymized.

Payment processors and other independent service providers may maintain their own retention periods. Stripe states that retention can depend on legal obligations, service requirements, fraud prevention, and legitimate business interests. Stripe

14. Security

Wares Point uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, destruction, or misuse.

These measures may include:

• Encrypted HTTPS connections
• Access controls
• Password hashing
• Server and software security updates
• Account authentication
• Logging and monitoring
• Spam and abuse prevention
• Backups
• Restricted administrative access

No website, server, transmission method, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users are responsible for protecting their passwords and should not reuse passwords from other services.

15. Children Under 13

Wares Point is intended for users 13 years of age or older.

Wares Point is not directed to children under 13 and does not intentionally collect personal information from children under 13.

The Federal Trade Commission explains that COPPA applies to operators of child-directed services and to general-audience services that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information from a child under 13. Federal Trade Commission

If Wares Point learns that an account belongs to a child under 13 and personal information was collected without legally required parental consent, reasonable steps will be taken to disable the account and delete the information as appropriate.

A parent or guardian who believes a child under 13 has provided personal information to Wares Point should contact sales@warespoint.com.

17. California Privacy Rights

If California privacy law applies to Wares Point and to a particular consumer, California residents may have rights including access, correction, deletion, limitation of certain uses of sensitive personal information, and opt-out rights concerning sale or sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising. The California Privacy Protection Agency describes these among the rights available under the CCPA as amended. California Privacy Protection Agency

Wares Point does not sell personal information for monetary compensation.
