Privacy & Community Policy

 

Our Purpose

DescribeYourself is a Portland-based community platform designed to help like‑minded people connect through shared interests — food cart visits, trail walks, pickleball, tennis, and other local activities. We are not a dating or hookup site. Our mission is to create a welcoming, inclusive space where people meet, play, and enjoy community experiences together.

Community Standards

We expect all members to interact respectfully, communicate honestly, and participate in activities in a safe, friendly manner. Any behavior resembling dating solicitation, harassment, or inappropriate messaging is prohibited and may result in account removal.

Information We Use

We only collect the basic information needed to operate the site and support your account:

  • A username

  • A contact email

  • Optional profile details you choose to share (interests, skill level, preferred activities)

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with outside companies.

How Your Information Is Used

Your information is used solely to:

  • Create and maintain your account

  • Help you connect with other members

  • Support features like messaging, event RSVPs, and activity groups

  • Keep the platform safe, functional, and enjoyable

We do not use your information for advertising networks, tracking systems, or third‑party marketing.

Your Control Over Your Information

You may update or remove your profile details at any time. If you request account deletion, we will permanently remove your profile and associated content except where limited retention is required for safety or legal reasons.

Community Safety

To maintain a positive environment, we review reports of spam, fake accounts, or inappropriate behavior. Accounts violating our standards may be suspended or removed.

External Links

Our site may include links to local parks, food cart pods, or sports resources. These external sites have their own policies, and interactions with them follow their rules.
