WhenYouKnow encourages thoughtful dialogue and shared learning. At the same time, we recognize that online spaces—including social media and comment features—can amplify information quickly and permanently.
This notice is intended to help you engage with care, awareness, and respect—for yourself and for others.
The Nature of Social Sharing
Any interaction on this website that involves comments, reactions, sharing tools, or third-party logins may create a public or semi-public record. Even simple actions—such as liking, commenting, or sharing content—can contribute to a broader digital profile that may be visible beyond your original intent.
Once shared, content may be copied, reposted, or viewed by others outside of WhenYouKnow’s control. We encourage users to assume that anything shared publicly could reach a wider audience.
Think Before You Share
Comments and responses made in the moment can sometimes reflect emotions rather than fully considered views. While conversation is welcome, we encourage participants to pause before posting—especially when topics involve sensitive experiences, strong opinions, or personal details.
Information shared through social features may remain accessible even if your views or circumstances change over time.
Respecting Others
Posts and comments often affect more than the person sharing them. Mentions of third parties, group experiences, or identifiable situations may unintentionally expose others or cause harm.
We ask that participation on WhenYouKnow focus on your own experiences and perspectives. When in doubt, it is best to refrain from sharing information that could affect someone else without their consent.
Protecting Yourself
Publicly sharing personal information—especially related to health, mental well-being, family matters, or life challenges—deserves careful consideration.
While participation is voluntary, WhenYouKnow cannot guarantee the removal of content once it has been shared or redistributed. Users are responsible for the information they choose to disclose.
Use of Social Data
Information visible through social or interactive features on this website may not be collected, reused, or repurposed by others. Mining, copying, or aggregating personal data from comments or profiles is not permitted.
User-Generated Content
Content shared by users reflects individual perspectives and experiences. WhenYouKnow does not verify or endorse user-generated statements and encourages readers to view such content as personal opinion, not factual or professional guidance.
Responsibility & Accountability
Participants are responsible for their own words and actions. While free expression is valued, it does not extend to content that is harmful, defamatory, misleading, or unlawful.
WhenYouKnow reserves the right to moderate or remove content that undermines the safety, integrity, or purpose of this community.
Updates to This Notice
This notice may be updated as technology, law, or platform features evolve. Changes take effect when posted. We encourage periodic review.
