Public Visibility: Your shared stories are accessible to other users and may be publicly viewable within the Application.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to remove or modify any UGC that violates these terms or is deemed harmful, offensive, or otherwise unacceptable. However, removal does not relieve you of responsibility for the content you have shared.
