This Privacy Policy explains how the developer of Conspiracy ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use Conspiracy ("the app").
Conspiracy is a social debate platform where users can create and join debates, choose a side as a Believer or Sceptic, vote, post arguments, reply to others, upload images, save content, follow users, block users, and report content.
By using Conspiracy, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

Some service providers may receive or infer approximate location information from your IP address or device/network information as part of normal security, hosting, analytics, or app functionality.
Sensitive information
We do not ask you to provide sensitive personal information.
However, because Conspiracy contains user-generated debate content, users may choose to post information that could reveal sensitive views, beliefs, or personal details. You should avoid posting sensitive or private information about yourself or others.

3. User-generated content
Conspiracy is a debate platform. Content posted by users may be inaccurate, opinion-based, incomplete, misleading, or offensive.
