Privacy Ethos

Last Updated:  2/4/25

Welcome to Humanbe.ing – a space grounded in empathy, connection, and shared humanity.

This page explains how we at Humanbe.ing – trading name of Rocket Domains Ltd- (“we”, “our”, “us”) collect, use, and care for the personal information you choose to share with us. We are a UK-based platform, with servers in the European Union, and we are committed to respecting your privacy and your rights under the UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and other relevant data protection laws.

We believe that privacy is not just a legal obligation—it’s part of being a good digital citizen. We will never sell your personal data, and we aim to treat your information with the same care and respect we would want for ourselves.


1. Who We Are

Humanbe.ing is a human-first social platform, designed to bring people together across cultures and ideas, while respecting the dignity, privacy, and autonomy of every person here.


2. What This Policy Covers

This policy covers how we handle your personal data when you use our website or services. It does not extend to other services, apps, or websites you might access through links or integrations.


3. The Information We Collect

We only collect what’s necessary to offer a meaningful, secure, and personal experience.

a) When You Create an Account

We ask for:

  • Username – shown publicly

  • Email address – kept private and only used for account-related functions

  • Password – stored securely using strong encryption

  • You can also add optional profile information like a display name, biography, or upload a profile picture and header image – all visible to others if you choose to share them.

b) When You Share or Interact

We store:

  • The messages and media you post

  • Information on when and how you posted (e.g. time, device type)

  • Lists of who you follow and who follows you

  • Likes, reposts, and other expressions of connection

Public content is visible to others; more limited posts are only shown to the people you select. Regardless of visibility, please keep in mind that others may still save or share what you post. We recommend avoiding the sharing of sensitive or private material in these spaces.

c) Private Messages and Protected Posts

Messages meant for specific people are stored securely and are only delivered to those intended. However, like with anything online, they can be copied or captured. We treat this data with care, but ask that you treat private messages like you would a personal conversation—mindful of trust and boundaries.

d) Technical Data

We may collect some information automatically to help keep the platform secure and usable:

  • IP addresses, browser type, and login details

  • Session data and security logs

You can view and manage your login sessions from your account settings.


4. Why We Collect This Information

We collect and use your data to:

  • Help you connect meaningfully with others

  • Provide essential platform features

  • Respond to your questions or support requests

  • Keep Humanbe.ing safe and respectful for all

  • Fulfil our legal and security obligations

We never collect more than we need, and we never share your information unless it’s essential for the functioning of the service or required by law.


5. Our Legal Grounds for Processing

We process your data under one or more of the following bases:

  • Consent – when you agree to optional features like cookies or email updates

  • Contract – so we can provide the service you’ve signed up for

  • Legal obligation – when we’re required to do so by law

  • Legitimate interest – to ensure platform safety, accessibility, and reliability


6. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as it serves its purpose.

  • Login IPs: retained for up to 12 months

  • Server logs: stored for up to 90 days

  • Posts and messages: kept until you delete them or close your account

You can download your data or permanently delete your account at any time. When you choose to leave Humanbe.ing, we make sure your data leaves with you.


7. Cookies & Local Storage

Cookies help us:

  • Remember your login

  • Keep your preferences intact

  • Understand usage patterns and improve our platform

You can manage your cookie settings through your browser. Declining some cookies may limit certain features, but we’ll always strive to respect your choices.


8. How We Share Information

We respect your trust and will only share your personal data in limited, responsible ways:

  • With trusted service providers who help us operate the platform (under strict confidentiality)

  • If legally required, such as responding to a valid law enforcement request

  • When necessary to protect you, other users, or the platform

We do not sell or trade your data—ever.


9. International Users & Data Transfers

Our platform is open to everyone, everywhere. While we are based in the UK, our servers are located in the EU, and we take steps to ensure your data is protected under the most rigorous international standards.

If data needs to move beyond the UK or EU, we apply additional safeguards to protect your rights.


10. Your Rights

As a user, you have full control over your data. Depending on your location, your rights may include:

  • Accessing your personal information

  • Correcting inaccuracies

  • Deleting your data

  • Limiting how your data is used

  • Downloading your data

  • Withdrawing consent

  • Filing a complaint with a data protection authority

In the UK, you may contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)

To exercise your rights, contact us directly or use your account settings.


11. Children’s Privacy

Humanbe.ing is designed for people aged 16 and older. If you are under 16, please do not register or use the platform. We do not knowingly collect data from children under this age.


12. Security & Responsibility

We use industry-standard protections including:

  • Encrypted communication (HTTPS)

  • Secure password hashing

  • Account session monitoring

  • Optional two-factor authentication

We encourage you to stay mindful, too—use strong passwords, log out when needed, and don’t share more than you’re comfortable with.


13. Updates to This Policy

If we make changes to this policy, we’ll let you know—either through the platform or via email. We want you to stay informed and empowered.


14. Contact Us

We’re here to listen—because being human means being accountable, transparent, and kind.
