Strayform and Privacy

Strayform seeks to strike a balance between community interaction and personal privacy. That is why we give users alot of control over what information to share and who can see that information. The best way to protect your privacy is using our privacy options (the options tab on your member page) and wisely choosing what information to share.

Additionally, Strayform collects statistics based on user actions to provide ranking and recommendations within our system. We do not share any information aggregated or not with external companies for marketing or advertising purposes. In fact, we do not have any advertising at all.
