Privacy Policy

Introduction

By using Redpanda (“we,” “our,” or “us”), you’re placing trust in us to handle your personal data. We take this responsibility seriously and are committed to safeguarding your information and giving you control over it.

This Privacy Policy is designed to explain what data we gather, the reasons for collecting it, and how you can manage your information while using our websites and other online products and services (collectively, “Services”).

Public Content Policy

The majority of Redpanda’s platform is open to the public, meaning anyone can access it, even without an account. This is by design. We believe in the principles of an open internet and aim to keep Redpanda accessible to everyone, promoting learning, research, and a space where people can find a sense of community and empowerment. As such, public content on Redpanda, including posts, comments, usernames, profiles, reactions, and related information, are visible to anyone with internet access (collectively, “public content”).

You do not need an account to explore Redpanda or view content shared by other users. You also do not need to contribute public posts or comments to use the platform. You have full control over how much you engage with Redpanda and the amount of public content you share. If you choose to post or comment publicly, your content will be accessible to the general public.

Information Redpanda collects

By default, we only collect minimal information that could potentially identify you. If you simply want to browse, an account is not necessary. If you wish to create an account and engage with a community, we do not require your real name. We do not track your precise location, and you can browse the platform anonymously if you prefer. You are free to share as much or as little about yourself as you’d like when using Redpanda.

Why Redpanda Collects Data

The data we collect is primarily used to provide our Services, which are centered around bringing people together to form communities. We do not sell your personal data to third parties, nor do we work with data brokers.

Your Rights and Choices

You have control over how your information is collected, used, and shared when using the Services. Redpanda does not discriminate against users who choose to exercise their rights under data protection laws.

Certain analytics providers we work with may offer specific opt-out options. For instance, you can manage the collection and use of certain data by Google Analytics through the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
