Privacy Policy

Last updated 9 November 2026

This explains what personal data 5/7 collects, why, and the choices you have. The controller of your data is [Operator name — company or person running 5/7], [Postal address]. Contact: [contact@your-domain].

What we collect

  • Account: your username, a securely hashed password (we never store the password itself), when you joined and accepted these policies, and your avatar if you upload one. We don’t ask for your real name or email address.
  • What you post and do: memes, titles, tags, comments, votes, saves, follows, reports, and the points and achievements that come from them.
  • Technical data: your IP address and device/browser type when you use the Service, used for security and rate limits (for example, stopping password guessing).
  • Photo data: images you upload are re-processed and hidden photo metadata, including GPS location, is removed before they’re stored.

Why we use it (and the legal basis)

  • To run your account and show your content, as part of our contract with you.
  • To keep 5/7 safe: preventing spam, abuse and attacks, and moderating content (our legitimate interest).
  • To meet legal obligations, such as responding to valid legal requests or copyright notices.

We don’t sell your personal data, and we don’t use it for third-party advertising.

What’s public

Your username, avatar, level, points, memes, comments, and follower counts are visible to everyone. Votes, saves, reports and notifications are private.

Cookies

We only use cookies that are needed for the site to work: they keep you logged in. We don’t use advertising or tracking cookies, so there’s no cookie banner to accept.

How long we keep it

  • Your content stays until you delete it or your account.
  • Login sessions expire after 30 days of not being used.
  • Moderation records may be kept longer to stop banned people coming back and to handle disputes.
  • Backups are overwritten on a rolling schedule.

Who processes it

We use hosting and storage providers to run the Service. They only process data on our instructions. If data is transferred outside your country, we use appropriate safeguards required by law.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR), you can ask to access, correct, delete or export your data, object to or restrict how we use it, and complain to your data protection authority. You can delete your account yourself at any time in Settings, which removes your memes, comments, votes and profile. For other requests, email [contact@your-domain].

Children

5/7 isn’t for children under 13. If you believe a child under that age has an account, contact us and we’ll remove it.

Changes

If we change this policy in a significant way, we’ll tell you on the site before it takes effect.
