Specscreen Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 15, 2026

Specscreen exists to help creative thinking move more openly between people, industries, and the brands that can bring ideas to life. In short—to build a better world where creativity is shared to move culture, products, and experiences forward. We believe inspiration can come from anywhere, and that progress happens faster when people openly contribute perspectives, concepts, and possibilities.

We are a community built on trust. A fundamental part of earning that trust means being transparent about how we collect, use, and protect personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how Specscreen ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use the Specscreen platform, website, applications, features, content, Spaces, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

Because Specscreen is built around participation, discovery, and public contribution, certain content and interactions on the Service are public by default and may be visible to other users, search engines, and third parties.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully together with our Terms of Use.

1. SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy applies to the collection, use, disclosure, storage, and protection of personal information in connection with your access to and use of the Service.

It applies to information processed through:

• the Specscreen website;
• user accounts and profiles;
• public and private interactions on the platform;
• Spaces and community participation features;
• content published or shared through the Service;
• communications with us;
• and any related products, features, applications, or services operated by Specscreen.

This Privacy Policy also applies to information we process when users:

• publish ideas, Builds, Questions, comments, or other contributions;
• interact with content or other users;
• participate in Spaces;
• receive communications from Specscreen;
• report content, accounts, or platform issues;
• or otherwise engage with the Service.

Because Specscreen is built around participation, discovery, and public contribution, certain information and activity may be publicly visible by default. This Privacy Policy explains how such information may be collected, processed, displayed, shared, and made accessible through the Service.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to:

• third-party websites, services, or applications that may be linked through the Service;
• third-party platforms, integrations, or authentication providers not operated or controlled by Specscreen;
• or information processed independently by third parties under their own privacy policies and practices.

Your use of third-party services may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them carefully.

If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you should not access or use the Service.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect information you provide directly to us, information collected automatically through your use of the Service, and information generated through interactions with the platform.

The information we collect depends on how you use Specscreen, the features you access, the content you publish, and the ways in which you interact with the Service.

3. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We use personal information to operate, maintain, improve, protect, and develop the Service.

The ways in which we use information depend on the nature of the information, how users interact with the platform, and the features and functionality being used.

We may use information for purposes including:

• providing, operating, and maintaining the Service;
• creating and managing accounts and profiles;
• authenticating users and maintaining account security;
• enabling publication, participation, and discovery on the platform;
• operating Spaces and related community features;
• facilitating interactions between users and content;
• personalizing feeds, recommendations, and discovery systems;
• understanding engagement and platform usage;
• improving platform functionality, performance, and user experience;
• developing new features, products, and services;
• communicating with users regarding accounts, updates, announcements, and platform activity;
• sending onboarding communications, newsletters, and recommendations;
• detecting spam, abuse, fraud, suspicious activity, and policy violations;
• supporting moderation, safety, and enforcement processes;
• enforcing our Terms of Use and other policies;
• complying with legal obligations;
• protecting the rights, safety, and security of Specscreen, users, and third parties;
• and maintaining the overall integrity and reliability of the Service.

Because Specscreen is built around participation, contribution, and discovery, we may also use information and engagement signals to organize, rank, recommend, surface, personalize, and improve content visibility throughout the platform.

Certain processing activities may involve automated systems designed to:

• analyze engagement and relevance;
• improve recommendations and discoverability;
• identify spam, abuse, or harmful conduct;
• organize and classify content;
• generate tags or summaries;
• and support platform functionality and performance.

We may also aggregate or de-identify information for analytics, research, operational, or platform improvement purposes where permitted by applicable law.

4. LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING

Where applicable under the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and similar laws, we process personal information on one or more of the following legal bases:

• performance of a contract;
• legitimate interests;
• compliance with legal obligations;
• consent;
• and protection of vital interests where applicable.

5. PUBLIC CONTENT AND VISIBILITY

Specscreen is designed as a platform for public participation, contribution, collaboration, and discovery.

As a result, certain information, activity, and content shared through the Service are public by default and may become accessible both within and outside the platform.

Depending on how you use the Service, publicly visible information may include:

• usernames and display names;
• profile images;
• ideas and published contributions;
• Builds and Questions;
• comments and interactions;
• participation in public Spaces;
• and other activity associated with your account.

Public content may:

• appear throughout the Service;
• be indexed by search engines;
• appear in external search results;
• be shared or reposted by other users or third parties;
• be referenced externally;
• and remain temporarily accessible through cached or archived versions after deletion.

Because public content may be copied, indexed, archived, captured, or redistributed by third parties, Specscreen cannot control or guarantee the removal of content from external systems or services after it has been publicly shared.

Users should carefully consider what information and content they choose to publish through the Service.

Private Spaces, where available, may provide more limited visibility and access controls. However, users should understand that no system or platform can guarantee absolute privacy or security.

Specscreen may also use publicly available content and engagement signals within the Service to:

• organize and surface content;
• improve recommendations and discoverability;
• support platform functionality;
• maintain moderation and safety systems;
• and improve the overall user experience.

6. RECOMMENDATIONS, RANKING, AND AUTOMATED SYSTEMS

Specscreen uses recommendation, ranking, and automated systems to support discovery, participation, relevance, and platform functionality.

Because the Service is built around the sharing and evolution of ideas, engagement and interaction signals may influence how content is organized, surfaced, recommended, or displayed across the platform.

These systems may consider factors including:

• engagement and interactions;
• follows and connections;
• Builds, Questions, comments, and reactions;
• relevance and user interests;
• popularity and activity;
• recency;
• platform participation patterns;
• and other operational or behavioral signals.

Recommendations and visibility may vary between users and may change over time based on platform activity and evolving system behavior.

We may also use automated systems to:

• improve recommendations and discoverability;
• analyze engagement and usage patterns;
• organize and classify content;
• generate tags or summaries;
• detect spam, abuse, fraud, or suspicious activity;
• support moderation and enforcement processes;
• maintain platform integrity and safety;
• and improve platform functionality and user experience.

Automated systems may influence the visibility, discoverability, prioritization, or distribution of content and accounts within the Service.

7. SPACES

Specscreen may offer Spaces and similar participation features that allow users, communities, organizations, or brands to gather, contribute, collaborate, and engage around ideas, industries, themes, or initiatives.

Spaces may be public or private depending on the functionality available at a given time.

8. SHARING INFORMATION

We may share personal information where reasonably necessary to operate the Service, comply with legal obligations, protect the platform and its users, or support legitimate business and operational purposes.

Information may be shared with:

• service providers and infrastructure partners;
• hosting and cloud providers;
• authentication providers;
• payment processors;
• analytics and security providers;
• communications and email delivery providers;
• professional advisers and consultants;

• and parties involved in corporate transactions or business reorganizations.

We may also share information:

• to investigate or address fraud, abuse, security issues, or harmful conduct;
• to protect the rights, property, safety, and security of Specscreen, users, or third parties;
• or in connection with mergers, acquisitions, financing, restructuring, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar business transactions.

Certain content and interactions may also be shared publicly by design as part of the functionality of the Service.

We do not sell personal data.

9. SERVICE PROVIDERS AND INFRASTRUCTURE

Specscreen relies on third-party providers, infrastructure services, and technical partners to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the Service.

10. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Specscreen operates internationally and may process information in multiple jurisdictions.

Personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries outside your country of residence, including jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws than those applicable in your location.

11. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide, operate, secure, improve, and support the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect platform integrity.

Retention periods may vary depending on:

• the nature of the information;
• how the information is used;
• legal, regulatory, accounting, or operational requirements;

For example, we may retain information:

• while accounts remain active;
• for reasonable periods following account deletion;
• to maintain temporary backups and system integrity;
• for fraud prevention and abuse detection purposes;
• in connection with legal claims, investigations, or disputes;
• and where retention is required or permitted by applicable law.

Deleted content may remain temporarily stored in backups, logs, cached systems, moderation records, or security systems for a limited period before permanent deletion.

Billing, accounting, and transaction-related information may be retained for longer periods where required under applicable laws and regulations.

12. PLATFORM SAFETY AND MODERATION

Maintaining the integrity, safety, reliability, and functionality of the Service is important to us.

Specscreen may monitor, review, investigate, restrict, limit visibility of, remove, or take action regarding content, Spaces, interactions, or accounts that:

• involve spam, abuse, fraud, manipulation, or harmful conduct;
• create legal, security, or operational risks;
• infringe rights of others;
• interfere with the integrity of the platform;
• or otherwise negatively affect the Service, users, or third parties.

Moderation and enforcement actions may involve:

• automated systems;
• human review;
• community reporting mechanisms;
• internal investigation processes;
• or a combination of these approaches.

Automated systems may assist with:

• spam detection;
• abuse prevention;
• suspicious activity detection;
• content classification;
• recommendation integrity;
• and platform safety measures.

Specscreen may also reduce visibility, limit discoverability, suspend features, restrict participation, suspend accounts, or remove content where reasonably necessary to maintain platform integrity, safety, compliance, or operational stability.

Users may report:

Even where users opt out of marketing communications, we may still send important service-related or administrative communications where necessary for operational, security, or legal purposes.
