Infrastructure
Brave websites are hosted on infrastructure we operate, and on infrastructure operated on our behalf by Amazon, Heroku (a Salesforce company), and Fastly. Fastly’s infrastructure is designed to be as close to you as possible — probably in the same country as you, though this is not guaranteed. Drivers dell card reader. The rest of this infrastructure is located in the United States, which is where information is processed and stored only for as long as necessary to provide services to you and support Brave do this. We take a range of technical and organisational measures to safeguard any personal data processed including the use of EU standard contractual clauses. Wherever possible we try not to process personal data. See data processing details.
Community forums
Brave provides two forums by which you can post feedback and comments on Brave’s services and publicly communicate with other Brave users - community.brave.com and forum.batcommunity.org. While Brave runs these forums, they are hosted on our behalf by the platform provider, Discourse.
Use of our forums is subject not only to Brave’s privacy policy but also that of Discourse. In a nutshell, your personal data will be used to operate and improve the forum and to provide customer service and support. Please do read the privacy policies.
We automatically capture and keep the IP address of all server requests but for no more than 30 days. You can access or delete your forum account (and related data) in the “preferences” panel at community.brave.com. See data processing details for more information about what data we use and why.
Advertising Brave to people using Facebook, Google, and Twitter
Brave uses Facebook, Google, and Twitter ads to attract new users. Brave does not track people on Facebook, Google, or Twitter, or use any kind of in-app or Brave-server post-install tracking. See data processing detail. These ads link to pages on a separate website run by a company called Unbounce on Brave’s behalf, on servers based in the EU. See data processing details.
Children
Children under the age of 131 are not permitted to use the website, sign up for email updates, join the community forum, or send Brave any other information. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has interacted with the website, please contact privacy@brave.com. In that case, we will do our best to remove all related records.
Support
You can submit a support enquiry to Brave by clicking here: https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. We use an online ticketing system from Zendesk to help us manage our support to you. The information you provide will only be used to resolve your enquiry.
