6. Location-Based Services & Data Policy
The Service uses location data to provide features such as nearby user discovery and the interactive map. By enabling location services, you consent to the collection and use of your precise location data as described below. LOCATION DATA USAGE: Your location data is used to: (a) display your position on the map to other users based on your privacy settings; (b) enable nearby user discovery; (c) tag posts with location information when you choose to share it; (d) improve the Service and user experience. LOCATION DATA STORAGE: Your most recent location coordinates are stored in your profile for as long as your account is active. Historical location data (location update timestamps) is retained for up to 30 days for service functionality, after which it is automatically purged. We do not maintain a permanent history of every location you have visited. DELETING LOCATION DATA: You can delete your stored location data at any time by: (a) navigating to Settings > Privacy and clearing your location; (b) enabling Ghost Mode (Private), which stops all location sharing and removes your visible location from the map; (c) deleting your account entirely, which permanently removes all associated location data within 30 days.

When Ghost Mode is enabled: (a) your location is completely hidden from all other users; (b) you will not appear on the map or in nearby user lists; (c) you can still view friends and public users on the map; (d) your last known location coordinates are retained in your profile but are not shared or displayed to anyone. You may switch between Public, Friends Only, and Private (Ghost) modes at any time with immediate effect. We do not sell your location data to third parties. We do not share your precise location with advertisers. Location sharing is entirely optional and controlled by you.

16. Copyright Policy & Notice Procedure
Transcend Technologies, Inc. respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Service to do the same. We have adopted a voluntary procedure for receiving and acting on copyright complaints, modeled on the framework of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe that content available on or through the Service infringes one or more of your copyrights, please submit a written notification ("Copyright Notice") containing the following information to our Copyright Contact: (a) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has allegedly been infringed; (b) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of such works); (c) Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., a URL or post ID on the Service); (d) Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as your address, telephone number, and email; (e) A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (f) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the right that is allegedly infringed. We target a 72-hour response window for clearly valid Copyright Notices and will remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material upon receipt of a sufficiently detailed notice. Copyright Contact: Transcend Technologies, Inc. (DBA iSocialize) 300 Delaware Ave, Suite 210 #426, Wilmington, DE 19801 Email: dmca@isocialize.me Phone: 1-917-438-7005 Please ensure your claim is accurate. We may decline to act on misleading, frivolous, or repeated false claims, and may share notices with the user who posted the content. For general questions, use info@isocialize.me instead of the Copyright Contact address.
17. Counter-Notice Procedure
If you believe content you posted was wrongly removed in response to a Copyright Notice — for example, because the material is not infringing or you have authorization to use it — you may submit a counter-notice to our Copyright Contact containing: (a) Your physical or electronic signature; (b) Identification of the material that has been removed and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed; (c) A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; (d) Your name, address, and telephone number; (e) A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court located in the State of Delaware, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original Copyright Notice or an agent of such person. Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complaining party. If that party does not file an action seeking a court order against the content provider within 10 business days, we may restore the removed material at our discretion. Submit counter-notices to: dmca@isocialize.me
18. Repeat Infringer Policy
We have adopted a voluntary policy under which we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of copyright or other intellectual property rights. What counts as a strike: a confirmed valid copyright complaint that we act on by removing or disabling content posted by a user constitutes a strike against that user's account. Counter-notices that successfully restore content cancel the corresponding strike. Threshold: a user account that accumulates three (3) confirmed strikes within any rolling twelve (12) month period will be permanently terminated. We may also terminate accounts at any time, without prior notice, for severe or willful infringement. We maintain an internal record of strikes and account-level enforcement actions.
19. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
20. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify users of material changes by posting the updated Terms in the App and updating the effective date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
21. Apple-Specific Terms
If you access the Service through an Apple device: (a) these Terms are between you and the Company, not Apple Inc.; (b) Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App; (c) in the event of any failure of the App to conform to applicable warranties, Apple's maximum liability is limited to refunding the purchase price of the App; (d) Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App; (e) Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
