This Privacy Policy explains how Secure Member Gallery collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the website.

1. Information We Collect
We may collect your name, email address, password hash, account role, login session data, uploaded images, captions, comments, likes, favorites, reports, votes, IP-related security logs, and basic technical information such as browser and device details.

2. How We Use Information
We use information to create and secure member accounts, display gallery content, process uploads, operate voting and ranking features, moderate content, respond to support requests, prevent abuse, maintain logs, and improve the website.

3. Uploaded Images
Images you upload may include metadata. Public images may be viewable by visitors; members-only images are intended for registered members; private images are intended for you and administrators.

4. Cookies and Sessions
We use cookies and session storage to keep you logged in, protect forms, remember security tokens, and operate the website. Disabling cookies may prevent login and member features from working.

5. Sharing
We do not sell member data. Information may be shared with hosting providers, technical service providers, legal authorities when required, or administrators who need access to operate and protect the website.

6. Security
The application uses password hashing, CSRF protection, prepared database queries, file validation, permission checks, and protected media serving. No online system can be guaranteed completely secure.

7. Your Choices
You may update your account information, delete your own images where available, contact us for account deletion, and request correction or removal of certain personal information.
