Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 22, 2026
⠀
Social Ban Forum (“we,” “our,” or “the site”) respects your privacy. This page explains what information we collect when you visit socialbanforum.com, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
⠀
Information We Collect
Account information. If you register an account or sign in using a third-party provider (such as Google), we receive basic profile information (such as your name and email address) needed to create and manage your account.
⠀
Content you submit. When you publish a post, comment, or upload an image, that content is stored on our servers and may be publicly visible on the site.
⠀
Usage and analytics data. We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site — which pages are viewed, how far visitors scroll, and which elements are clicked. This helps us fix problems and improve the site. We currently use:
⠀
- Microsoft Clarity — collects anonymized click, scroll, and navigation data, and may record de-identified session replays. Clarity automatically masks sensitive input fields (such as passwords, emails, and card numbers) and never receives that data. Learn more in Microsoft’s Privacy Statement and Clarity’s own documentation.
- WP Statistics — a self-hosted analytics tool that counts visits and page views on our own server.
⠀
Log and device data. Like most websites, our server automatically logs standard technical information (such as IP address, browser type, and referring page) for security and troubleshooting purposes.
Cookies
⠀
We use cookies for essential site functions (such as keeping you logged in) and for the analytics purposes described above. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; note that some site features may not work correctly if you do.
⠀
How We Use Information
We use the information above to:
- Operate and maintain the site
- Diagnose technical problems and improve site design
- Maintain the security of the site and prevent abuse
- Communicate with you about your account, if applicable
⠀
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
⠀
Third-Party Services
We use third-party services (listed above) that may process data on our behalf under their own privacy policies. We choose providers that publish clear privacy commitments and, where available, offer data masking or anonymization.
⠀
Your Choices
- You may browse most of the site without creating an account.
- You may request deletion of your account and associated content by contacting us at the email below.
- You may disable cookies in your browser at any time.
⠀
Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
⠀

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
