Privacy Policy
You can add these sections to the Privacy Policy I gave you earlier:
Live Streaming
When you go live, we process the video and audio of your stream, chat messages, viewer information, and technical data needed to deliver the stream (such as IP address and device information). Live streams may be recorded and stored according to the settings you choose. Recorded streams are treated as content you upload.
Super Fan Features
If you create a Super Fan channel or interact as a Super Fan, we collect the information associated with that activity, including content you upload, live streams you create, messages, and interactions with band channels. This information is used to provide the Super Fan features and is subject to the same privacy practices described in this policy.
Public vs Private Content
Content you choose to make public (including live streams, videos, posts, and Super Fan activity) can be viewed by other users. You control the visibility settings for your content. We do not treat public content as private personal information.
