Cross-clause notes

Cross-referenceacross documents

The Terms of Service, Terms of Service › “(B) Registered User Content” describes rights the platform takes in user content, and the Privacy Policy, Privacy Policy › “Transactions on User Profiles Disclaimer” describes disclosure of data to third parties or subprocessors. Both clauses are in force at the same time — read them together.

Ambiguity — Caution

Verified retention clauses point in different directions: the Privacy Policy, Privacy Policy › “About your Information” describes broad or open-ended retention, while the Privacy Policy, Privacy Policy › “About your Information” describes deletion or erasure. Which clause controls in a given situation is not resolved by the documents' text alone — this is surfaced as an ambiguity, treated as Caution.
