3. DEFINITION AND USE OF THE TERM "CRUSH" IN THE SERVICE

The term "crush" used in our service does not imply an actual competitive relationship but rather represents a game mechanism designed purely for entertainment purposes. In this context:

  • For Entertainment Purposes Only:
    The term "crush" refers to a person whom users jokingly select within their social circles or in an online environment. This selection does not signify serious enmity or personal conflict.

  • A Social and Playful Labeling:
    "Crush" is a concept that users can select purely to have fun, joke with friends, or express a casual preference.

  • Not Intended for Violating Rights:
    The designation of an "crush" is not meant to infringe upon the rights of any individual, nor is it intended to cause harm.

  • User Responsibility:
    Users acknowledge that they choose an "crush" purely for entertainment and accept full responsibility for their selections. In this context, Mudjik, as the service provider, is not responsible for any consequences arising from these selections.

  • Must Not Exceed Entertainment Boundaries:
    Users must not share the names they designate as "Crush." They are required to act in a respectful, ethical, and legally compliant manner at all times.

  • Concealment of "Crush" Username Information:
    The "crush" username information explicitly defined in our service will remain hidden from the user(s).

 

4. USE AND STORAGE OF "CRUSH" USERNAMES

Usernames specified by users within our service will be processed and stored solely for the purpose of ensuring the system's functionality and providing the service. In this context:

1. Non-Disclosure of Usernames:

  • The "crush" usernames specified by users will not be shared with other users or third parties.

  • These details will be used only for internal service operations and will not appear in any notification emails.

2. Legal Obligation:

  • "Crush" usernames will only be disclosed in the event of a legal obligation (e.g., a court order or a request from an authorized authority).

3. Single Submission per User:

  • Each user can designate only one "Crush" username per email address. This restriction is enforced to ensure the proper functioning of our service and to uphold privacy principles.

4. Data Retention:

  • The specified usernames will be stored only for the duration necessary for the service to function and will be securely deleted afterward.

5. User Responsibility:

  • Users are fully responsible for the accuracy, ethical compliance, and legal validity of the "crush" usernames they provide.

This notification will include the reason for the denial and instructions on how to appeal our decision.
