About this policy
This policy explains how Community Media 360 handles information when you browse this site or use the Community Media Hub. It describes the site’s current features and may be updated when those features or the services supporting them change.
Information used by the site
Depending on how you use the site, information may include:
- Account details such as your name and email address, used to register and sign in.
- Profile details you choose to provide: display name, organisation, location, website, biography and profile image.
- Content you submit: story title, summary, body, category and image; update message, link and image; or event title, description, dates, venue, link and image.
- Moderation information, including submission status and the dates records are created or updated.
- Basic technical request information processed by hosting and API services to deliver and protect the site.
Please do not include sensitive personal information in public profile fields or content submissions.
How information is used
Information is used to provide account access, display and manage member profiles, receive and review contributions, publish approved community content, respond to service issues and protect the site from misuse.
New profiles and contributions are subject to review. Information in approved profiles, updates and events may be displayed publicly. Pending or rejected submissions are available to the submitting member and authorised moderators under the Hub’s access rules.
Storage, service providers and retention
Member accounts and Hub records are stored in the PocketBase service configured for this site. The site also relies on hosting and editorial publishing services to deliver pages and manage articles. Those providers may process technical information needed to provide their services and are subject to their own terms and privacy notices.
Records are kept for as long as needed to operate the Hub, complete moderation, maintain published material, address security or operational issues, and meet applicable obligations. The project does not define a fixed deletion period.
Your choices and requests
You can review and update profile information through the My Profile page. You can sign out to clear your active member session. For access, correction or deletion requests that cannot be completed through the site, contact Community Media 360 through its published contact channels. Requests may be subject to identity checks and applicable legal requirements.
If you are in South Africa, rights under applicable data-protection law, including POPIA, may apply to your personal information.
Changes to this policy
When this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised date.
