Community content and member interactions
The Services may allow members to post comments, participate in discussions, attend events, or interact with other members.
Information you share in community spaces may be visible to other members. You should not share personal or sensitive information that you do not want others to see.
The Company may monitor, review, or remove content when necessary to enforce community standards, maintain safety, or comply with legal obligations.

Media, event photography, and promotional content
The Amistara may photograph, film, or record portions of virtual and in-person events, meetups, workshops, and other community activities. When photography or recording is planned, we will provide notice before or during the event and request consent where required.
With permission, photographs, videos, audio recordings, screenshots, testimonials, or other media featuring identifiable participants may be used on The Amistara website, social media accounts, email communications, press materials, advertisements, and other community or promotional materials.
Participation in promotional photography or recording is optional. Members and guests may tell the event team that they do not wish to be photographed or recorded, and we will make reasonable efforts to respect that preference.
If you would like an identifiable photograph, video, recording, or testimonial featuring you removed from channels controlled by The Amistara, or if you would like us to stop using it in future materials, please email info@scwbmedia.com or contact The Amistara Team through the app. Please include enough information to help us locate the content, such as a link, screenshot, event name, or approximate date.
We will review removal requests promptly and, where applicable, remove the content from channels under our control and discontinue future use. A request will not affect uses that were lawful before it was received. We may not be able to retrieve materials that have already been printed, distributed, or independently reposted by third parties. Copies may also remain in secure backups until they are overwritten in the ordinary course, but we will not intentionally reuse the content after approving the request.
Where appropriate, additional consent or a separate release may be requested.
Data security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:
- Provide the Services
- Maintain membership records
- Comply with legal obligations
- Resolve disputes

Some information may be retained after account termination when legally required or necessary for legitimate business purposes.
