Coming Soon. Here you’ll find all of our policies, agreements, rules, etc. that we call the Foller code. This is how we operate and the code we live by. We know it won't make everyone happy, but we think it's as fair as we can be. We're always open to feedback, suggestions, and ways to improve. If you think you've got a great idea, please reach out and let us know!
We know that many of you are tired of seeing all the legal mumbo jumbo and trying to figure out what it all means. So while our lawyers tell us it's somewhat necessary, we're working with them to try and put things in the simplest terms possible for you. This helps ensure we're all on the same page and can spend more time having fun rather than trying to figure out whether you can or can't do something here on Foller.
We want to be a place where people can interact and discuss any number of topics. Even subjects that may be a bit more controversial. However, you can always disagree with someone without calling them names and such, right? No, we're not saying you can't act like a kindergardener. If you want to throw a temper tantrum and call names, that's all on you. But perhaps take this section as an encouragement to not do things like that. One way we like to think about it is pondering whether or not whatever we're arguing about and getting upset about is really going to matter five years from now. If it's not, is it really worth the negativity and our time?
On some social media platforms, people see certain types of content they don't like and then they go reporting it to the platform in an attempt to get it deleted. And that platform has every right to delete the content based upon whatever rules they set for their platform. Free speech doesn't necessarily apply to these virtual courtyards that are privately owned. However, here at Foller, we want you to be able to voice your opinion - however wrong or right you may be. But we also want to ensure that people are really only seeing the types of content that they want to see, and not the stuff that they don't want to see. So with that in mind, we're creating all sorts of settings that allow you to have as much control over what you see and what you don't see. You'll find that in the settings area. Don't want to see political discussions? Turn on the political filter. Don't want to see religious discussions? Turn on the religion filter. Don't want to see naked photos? By default we're turning that one on for you, but for those who are okay with that type of content (or even want to see it), we allow that here as well. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean that nobody on the platform should be able to see it.
As we mentioned, this site is under development, which means these policies and such are under development as well. We'll be adding more in the coming days, weeks, and months. And they'll probably change from time to time. And when they do, we'll try to non-invasively notify you so you can check out what has changed.
This section under development.
Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. We're carefully crafting our privacy policy at this time to make sure it respects each and every user's desires for their different levels of privacy they desire.
Before we dive into how we use cookies, let's talk about what cookies are. Cookies are simply files or data that store pieces of information that web applications can use as you browse through the website. They're not all bad. Some of them are quite useful in fact, and have nothing to do with violating your privacy. In fact, some of them actually help protect your privacy.
Here on Foller, we use a single cookie named access_token that is sent back and forth between your browser and our servers that tells our servers who you are. This allows you to do things like log in and post messages or photos that are only allowed to be viewed by certain other profiles. It also ensures that nobody else is able to pretend to be you and upload things to your profile as if they were you.
We don't want to track your activity all over the Internet. That would be kind of creepy, wouldn't it? And while that's what some other platforms do, and it helps them to make more money possibly by delivering more targeted ads to you, we think your privacy is more important. So we're not gonna do that.
