We may collect profile views, link clicks, device/browser information, IP-derived security signals, timestamps, and basic analytics to operate, protect, and improve shy.bio.

Your public profile, username, display name, links, badges, media, and profile customization may be visible to anyone who visits your profile URL.

Profile pages may also generate public preview metadata and images for social platforms, Discord embeds, search results, and link previews.

Badge, verification, purchase, moderation, and Discord-role sync records may be retained as needed to prevent abuse, handle disputes, and preserve platform integrity.
