People you share and communicate with.
When you share and communicate using our Services, you choose the audience who can see what you share.

Likewise, when you use Messenger, you also choose the people who you send photos to or message.

Public information is any information that you share with a public audience, as well as information in your Public Profile or content you share on a Mariadda Page or another public forum. Public information is available to anyone on or off our Services and can be seen or accessed through online search engines, APIs and offline media, such as on TV.

In some cases, people you share and communicate with may download or re-share this content with others on and off our Services. When you comment on another person's post or like their content on Mariadda, that person decides the audience who can see your comment or like. If their audience is public, your comment will also be public.

Other people may use our Services to share content about you with the audience they choose. For example, people may share a photo of you, mention or tag you at a location in a post or share information about you that you shared with them. If you have concerns with someone's post, social reporting is a way for people to quickly and easily ask for help from someone they trust.
