Once an individual has made a post, that post becomes visible to others. In that sense, a post is not private. By their very nature, posts in a community are meant to be viewed by others. Do not post content that you wish to keep confidential.
We are not responsible for what others do with the content of your posts.
When you post content of any kind, you permit us to display and distribute the content, and to use it for advertising and promotion.
