Privacy policy
This policy explains the limited information used to operate CCTV Tech Forum and its moderated community.
Information we receive
Public articles and reviews can be read without creating an account. When you sign in with ChatGPT to post, reply, chat or report content, the platform provides a stable site-specific user identifier, your account email address and, when available, your display name. We store the author name shown with contributions, the contribution itself, moderation status, reports and timestamps.
How information is used
We use this information to publish community contributions, apply rate and duplicate controls, investigate reports, enforce community rules and maintain service security. Email addresses and stable user identifiers are not displayed publicly. We do not sell personal information.
Cookies and technical information
Sign-in and security functions may use essential cookies or similar platform mechanisms. Hosting providers may process request data such as IP address, browser information and timestamps for delivery, abuse prevention and reliability. Non-essential analytics or advertising cookies will require this policy to be updated before use.
Retention and moderation
Published posts may remain available as part of the forum record. Rejected content, reports and moderation actions may be retained for abuse prevention and accountability. We may remove or anonymise material when it is no longer needed, when required by law or when a justified request is accepted.
Your choices
You may ask about access, correction or deletion of personal information associated with your contributions. Some information may be retained where necessary for security, legal obligations or the integrity of moderation records.
Contact
Privacy enquiries can be sent to hello@cctvtechforum.com once the domain mailbox is active. Until then, do not submit sensitive personal information through forum posts or live chat.
