What the documents mean for you
CyberFear can restrict your access to any part of the site at any time at its own discretion, and deletes accounts once past their due date. Sign-up asks only for a username and password, and it keeps no visitor logs beyond a 5-minute registration IP.
Neither the terms nor the privacy policy mentions identity verification, KYC, source-of-funds checks or any power to demand documents from you. Registration is described as asking only for a username and a password, so there is no clause that lets the service require you to identify yourself.
The documents say nothing about identity checks. Registration asks you to pick a username and a password, and the privacy policy states the only user data held is a hashed username and the day of your last login.
Warnings
They track the date of your last login and delete the account once it passes its due date. Nothing in the documents promises a warning before that happens.
Content you display on the site comes with an irrevocable, worldwide, sub-licensable licence for CyberFear to use, adapt, publish and distribute it in any media. They can also delete it at any time without notice.
Neither document says what CyberFear does when authorities ask for data, so there is no commitment either way. It does state the only user data it holds is a hashed username and the day of last login.
The terms bar anyone under 18 from using the website.
