Privacy Policy

1. Who we are and what this policy covers

Action-Party US is a civic social community operated by Hubbard Genesis Corporation, a South Dakota corporation (“HGC,” “Action-Party US,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). This policy applies to visitors, applicants, Members, and people who communicate with us through the Action-Party US website and related services (the “Service”). It does not govern a third-party service with its own privacy practices.

2. Information we collect

Account, application, and profile information

We may collect your name, display name, username, email address, one-way password hash, birth date, optional contact and location details, website, time zone, profile images, visibility choices, affiliations, public roles, interests, application status, account status, and identity-verification status. Email, phone number, physical address, birth date, password information, and account-security information are not intended for public display.

Content and community activity

We collect content and choices you submit, including posts, comments, links, images, image descriptions, supported video links, edits, deletion requests, audiences, sharing settings, reactions, follows, friendships, invitations, Group memberships, Event responses, managed Pages, reports, blocks, appeals, and notification preferences. Public content may reveal political opinions, civic interests, affiliations, or other sensitive information.

Messages

We collect messages, conversation membership, read state, and timestamps to provide messaging. Messages are intended for participants but are not end-to-end encrypted. A message may be preserved or reviewed when reported, quarantined, reasonably necessary to investigate abuse or protect the Service, or required by law.

Technical, security, and usage information

We and approved providers may collect IP address, approximate country, session identifiers, login attempts, verification and password-reset events, requested and referring pages, browser or device information, interaction data, rate-limit events, reports, moderation actions, audit records, and security logs. We do not request precise device location; current browser permissions disable camera, microphone, and geolocation access.

Information from others

We may receive information about you from another Member who interacts with or reports you, an administrator reviewing an application, our service providers, and public sources when reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, impersonation, infringement, or safety concerns.

3. How we use information

• Provide, personalize, maintain, secure, and improve the Service.
• Process applications, verify email addresses, authenticate Members, and administer accounts, roles, and settings.
• Publish content to its selected audience and operate posts, comments, reactions, profiles, messages, Events, Groups, Pages, invitations, and notifications.
• Send account and Service communications and updates you choose to receive.
• Review reports, apply blocks, moderate content, enforce rules, and process appeals.
• Detect spam, fraud, unauthorized access, prohibited links, security incidents, and misuse.
• Measure performance and aggregate usage when approved analytics is enabled.
• Comply with law, establish or defend claims, and protect people, rights, property, and the Service.

We do not use private messages, birth dates, private contact details, or inferred civic or political interests for targeted advertising.

4. When information is disclosed

According to your choices

Public information may be available to anyone, indexed, copied, or reshared. Members-only information is limited to eligible signed-in Members subject to visibility, entity membership, and block rules. Private profile fields are limited to you and authorized personnel who need them to operate or protect the Service.

Providers and affiliated service companies

• Development and hosting: Northern Lights Entertainment, Inc., a wholly owned HGC subsidiary, provides development and hosting services under the registered Dandy Jackalope and Mighty Jackalope trade names through GoDaddy-branded services. Applicable provider entities and authorized personnel may process code, configuration, data, logs, uploads, and backups as necessary to provide and protect the Service.
• Email: Microsoft Graph is used to send account and Service email from the Action-Party US mailbox.
• Analytics: Google Analytics may measure visits and interactions on the development host. Its browser identifiers and data handling are governed by Google’s terms and privacy practices.
• Approximate location: DB-IP country data may be used locally to support access controls. The footer attribution links to DB-IP.

External destinations and affiliate links

Posts may contain privacy-enhanced YouTube or Vimeo embeds. External links and sharing controls can provide a destination with ordinary browser information such as IP address, device details, and referring page. Amazon links marked “Paid link” include an associate tag; HGC may earn commissions from qualifying purchases. Amazon controls its destination, account, purchase, and privacy practices, and the Service does not receive your card details from those links.

Safety, law, and organizational changes

We may preserve or disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law or valid legal process; investigate fraud, threats, exploitation, infringement, or misconduct; enforce agreements; protect a person or the public; secure the Service; or evaluate a merger, financing, reorganization, sale, or similar change of control.

5. Cookies and browser storage

• Essential session cookie: APUSSESSID maintains signed-in sessions and anti-forgery protection and is configured as Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite=Lax.
• Local browser storage: remembers appearance preferences and interface order.
• Session browser storage: may temporarily preserve unsent drafts after certain errors.
• Analytics identifiers: may measure visits and interactions where approved analytics is enabled.

Essential storage is required for signed-in features. Before non-essential storage is used in production, the Service must provide any notice, consent, opt-out, or recognized browser-signal response required by applicable law.

6. Your choices and requests

Available controls may let you change profile visibility and discoverability, choose optional email preferences, edit or delete your own content, leave community relationships, block another Member, report content, and manage browser storage. Security, verification, recovery, moderation, and material Service notices may still be sent when necessary.

Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, or a portable copy; learn about categories of collection, use, and disclosure; object to or limit certain uses; withdraw consent; or appeal a denied request. Email action-party-us@outlook.com with the subject “Privacy Request.” Do not email a password, government identification number, or unnecessary sensitive information. We may take proportionate steps to verify the request.

7. Retention and deletion

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, preserve discussion and audit integrity, enforce safety and security rules, resolve disputes, comply with law, and maintain appropriate business and backup records. Deleted or moderated content, revisions, reports, and related evidence may be retained temporarily for restoration, appeals, investigations, legal claims, or lawful preservation. When retention is no longer justified, information is deleted, de-identified, or securely isolated. Other people may retain copies of material they saw or shared before deletion.

8. Security

Safeguards include password hashing, email verification, secure session settings, anti-forgery tokens, role-based access, rate limits, audit records, content quarantine, file validation, restricted storage paths, encrypted HTTPS connections, monitoring, and backups. No system is completely secure. Use a strong unique password and report suspected unauthorized access promptly.

9. Adults only

Membership is limited to people age 18 or older. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly allow them to create accounts. If we learn that a child under 13 supplied personal information, we will take appropriate steps to delete it. Visitors must not publish a minor’s personal information without lawful authority and appropriate consent.

10. United States operation

HGC is located in South Dakota. The primary server and provider-managed backup storage are identified in the GoDaddy console as United States (West); the exact state and facility have not been verified. We, our affiliated service company, and approved providers may process information in South Dakota and other U.S. locations appropriate to their services.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the Service changes. An operative policy will show its effective date and archived version. We will provide reasonable notice of a material change and seek renewed consent where required by law.
