General

Transparency is a core value at Classify Blogs. While your public content (such as published blogs, usernames, and profile pictures) is visible to other users by design, we do not sell, rent, or misuse your personal information under any circumstances.

We only share your data in limited, carefully reviewed situations where it is necessary to provide our services or fulfill legal obligations. These include:

  • With Service Providers: We collaborate with trusted partners and service providers who help us operate and improve our platform — such as hosting providers, cloud storage services, analytics tools, payment processors, and email delivery systems. These partners are strictly bound by confidentiality agreements and can only use your data to perform specific tasks on our behalf.
