"we", "us", "our", and "xiome" all refer to the xiome.io open source project
xiome's software and services are provided under the terms of the isc license and also the terms below
we're not responsible or liable for anything that happens related to xiome
when you post or submit any data to xiome, you surrender all rights to that data. we might:
- publicize the data
- modify the data
- delete the data
we may, without notice or reason:
- shut down or delete any service or software

- change policies or terms of service
there are also some rules about submitting or posting to xiome:

we try to minimize the amount of data we gather about users, and we do our best to guard data with the best security practices we know
we try to maintain the anonymity of all users
we don't sell data
we record some basic statistics which we might publish, like counts of the numbers of people using xiome
we may be forced to share data with law enforcement agencies
things we track:
- email address
this is so we can send login links when the user wants to login. we don't publicize it. we may use the email addresses to notify people about important things related to xiome - profile data
info the user saves about their avatar, like nickname, tagline, profile picture preferences - account stats
like the timestamp for when each user first logged in, and most recently logged in - community data
info about communities the user has registered, including website homepage url, domain names, email addresses of appointed community administrators, stripe information so we can send funds to the community owners when they earn money - permissions data
info about what system roles and system privileges users might have in a community - stripe information for payments
we store data about user's stripe accounts and stripe payments, which allows us to gather and direct payments — we don't directly store any credit card numbers - messages, comments, posts, likes, reports
of course, we store the information users post, and what they mark as 'liked' and things like that
we're regularly adding new features, so it's possible this list is incomplete
xiome is open source software, so you can see for yourself what we're tracking — a good place to start looking would be our database schema
if you find anything we seem to be tracking that isn't on the list, please consider adding it to this document by submitting a github pull request for the addition
we store some cookies (localStorage) locally in users' web browsers, to keep them logged in, and to store their preferences for various components and features
