How Information About You Is Shared

Summary: Most activity on identibooru is public. We won't share your information with advertisers without your consent. We won't share information about you with third parties, except as required under certain conditions.

When you use the Site, certain information about you may be shared with other users, with Site moderators or other authorized users, or with the general public. For example:

Any content you create or submit to the Site will be visible to other users and to the general public, unless stated otherwise. This includes your picture, tags, profile bio and any other contributions you make to the Site.
Your username will be publicly associated with any content you create or edit on the Site. The date and time you created or edited the content will also be publicly visible. Moderators may also be able to see the IP address associated with any content you create or edit on the Site.
When other users view your profile, they will be able to see information about your activities on the Site, such as your username, picture, bio, tags and your sick custom profile.

Otherwise, we do not share, sell, or give away your personal information to third parties unless one of the following circumstances applies:

With your consent. We may share your information with your consent or at your direction.
With our service providers. We may share information with vendors, consultants, and other service providers (but not with advertisers or ad partners) who need access to such information to carry out work for us. The partner's use of personal data will be subject to appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
Aggregated or anonymized information. We may share information about you that has been aggregated or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably be used to identify you. For example, we may show the total number of times a profile has been visited without identifying who the visitors were, or how many times a tag has been searched without identifying who the searchers were.

To the extent the law allows it, we will attempt to provide you with prior notice before disclosing your information in response to such a request.
In an emergency. We may share information if we believe it's necessary to prevent imminent and serious bodily harm to a person.
