Definition of Anonymity on Dumpy
Dumpy is designed to provide an anonymous user experience within the platform, meaning that users do not see personally identifiable information (such as real names, phone numbers, or email addresses) of other users. However, while interactions between users are anonymous, Dumpy is not a completely anonymous platform in relation to the company’s ability to associate user activity with account data.
At Dumpy, we believe that anonymity is of the utmost importance online and aim to protect it at all reasonable costs. Our users are the most important part of Dumpy, and our goal is to protect them and their privacy as a first-order priority. We are committed to safeguarding anonymity while balancing the need for safety, compliance, and responsible platform management.
1. What Anonymity Means on Dumpy
Users are anonymous to each other within the app, meaning user profiles do not display personally identifiable information.
Dumpy does not require real names or profile pictures, allowing users to engage in discussions without revealing their identity.
Content posted on Dumpy does not publicly link back to a specific user account.
2. What Anonymity Does Not Mean
Dumpy can associate content and activity with user accounts. While user identities are not publicly visible, Dumpy retains the ability to connect posted content, device identifiers, and approximate location data (if location services are enabled) to specific accounts.
Dumpy may collect and store account and activity-related data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Dumpy reserves the right to disclose user information when required by law or in situations where there is an imminent threat to safety.
3. Disclosure to Law Enforcement and Authorities
Dumpy takes privacy seriously but also acknowledges legal and ethical responsibilities. In the following situations, we reserve the right to disclose user data:
Legal Compliance: If presented with a valid search warrant, court order, or legal request, Dumpy may provide information to law enforcement or other authorities.
Imminent Threats or Harm: If content posted on Dumpy suggests a credible and immediate risk to the safety of an individual, the public, or the platform itself, we may voluntarily disclose relevant user information to law enforcement or emergency responders.
Policy Violations and Investigations: In cases of serious violations of our Terms of Service, Dumpy may investigate and take appropriate action, including reporting to authorities if necessary.
4. User Responsibility
While Dumpy aims to offer a platform for open, anonymous discussions, users should be aware that anonymity is limited in legal and safety-related circumstances. Engaging in harmful, illegal, or abusive behavior on the platform does not prevent identification and potential action by law enforcement.
Where Information is Processed
Lab of the Lost LLC is based in the United States, and the information we collect is processed and stored primarily in the United States. However, depending on your location and the services we use, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in other countries where we or our service providers operate.
By using Dumpy, you acknowledge and agree that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. We take steps to ensure that data transfers comply with applicable laws and that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information.
If you are located in a region with data protection laws that require additional measures for data transfers, we will implement necessary safeguards to comply with such laws, including the use of contractual agreements or other legal mechanisms to protect your information.

Do-Not-Track Notice
Dumpy does not respond to Do-Not-Track (DNT) signals sent by web browsers. DNT is a privacy preference that users can set in their browser to signal to websites that they do not want certain information about their browsing activities collected over time and across different websites or online services. However, as there is no universally accepted standard for DNT signals, we do not recognize or respond to them.
We may use cookies, tracking technologies, and third-party analytics tools to improve our Services and analyze usage trends.

4. Limitations on Requests
You may make up to two requests per year regarding your personal information.
We may deny a request if we cannot verify your identity or if the request conflicts with legal obligations.
Certain requests may be exempt from compliance under applicable laws, and we will provide an explanation if we cannot fulfill a request.
