This reason includes any form of violation of these Terms, or other policies.

Following termination or deactivation of your account, we immediately remove all user data. There are scenarios we may keep some parts of your data not directly associated with you for a reasonable period of time for audit or other legitimately required purposes.

We embrace suggestions and feedback on how Open Cider can be improved and a better experience for users. If you choose to submit comments, ideas, or feedback, you agree that we are free to use them without any restriction or compensation to you. By accepting your submission, Open Cider doesn't waive any rights to use similar or related feedback previously known to Open Cider, or developed by its employees, or obtained from sources other than you.

4. Security

We care about the security of our users. While we work to protect the security of your content and account, Open Cider can’t guarantee that unauthorized third parties won’t be able to defeat our security measures. We ask that you keep your credentials secure. Please notify us immediately of any compromise or unauthorized use of your account.

5. Third party links, sites, and services

Open Cider may contain links to third party websites, advertisers, services, special offers, or other events or activities that are not owned or controlled by Open Cider. We don’t endorse or assume any responsibility for any such third party sites, information, materials, products, or services.
