Where applicable, including under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we process personal information on an appropriate legal basis.
Depending on the activity, this may include:
Contractual necessity: to provide a service you request.
Legal obligations: to comply with applicable laws.
Consent: where you have given permission for a particular activity.
Legitimate interests: to protect our website, prevent abuse, maintain security, and improve our services, where those interests do not override your rights.
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Dream Meanings may allow users to publish dreams, comments, and other content in public areas.
Content you choose to publish publicly, including your username and comments, may be visible to other visitors and may be indexed by search engines.
Please consider the information you include before submitting a post. Even if content is later removed from our website, copies may remain temporarily in search engine results, caches, or third-party systems.
You are responsible for ensuring that your posts do not unlawfully disclose another person's personal information or violate their rights.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.
We may share limited information with third parties when necessary to operate the website, provide requested services, protect our systems, or comply with legal obligations.
These parties may include:
Hosting providers: to store website files and databases.
Technical service providers: to support maintenance, security, and backups.
Analytics or advertising providers: if such services are used and their use complies with applicable privacy and consent requirements.
Authorities or legal representatives: where disclosure is legally required or otherwise permitted by law.
Where required, we use appropriate contractual and organizational safeguards when service providers process personal information on our behalf.
8. International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers may process information in countries outside your country of residence.
Where international transfers are subject to specific legal requirements, we will use the safeguards required by applicable law, which may include adequacy decisions or other approved transfer mechanisms.
You may contact us for further information about international transfers relevant to your personal information.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, provide our services, resolve disputes, and meet applicable legal obligations.
Account information may be retained while an account remains active. Public posts and comments may remain available until they are removed, provided their continued storage is lawful and appropriate.
Certain technical records and security logs may be retained for additional periods where necessary to protect the website or comply with legal obligations.
When personal information is no longer required, we will delete it or anonymize it as appropriate.
10. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
These measures may include access controls, password protection, security updates, backups, and systems designed to detect malicious activity.
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore encourage users to choose strong passwords and keep their account credentials confidential.
