Where can I learn more about Lemmy's Security Model and its Privacy Policy? (lemmy.world)

Title.

I have started to use Lemmy quite frequently in the last few days. I really like it, but I haven't been able to find any documentation that explains how my data is being handled, what kind of data is being collected and how it is being used and neither have I been able to find an in-depth explanation – or any explanation for that matter – about Lemmy's security model.

Would anyone please provide a source where I could find that info?

As such, they might not be covered by privacy laws such as the EU GDPR (which doesn’t apply to personal activity)

Personal activity specifically only includes providing services to yourself or close family members. Putting something on the internet is explicitly not that.

From the same law:

That exception must therefore be interpreted as relating only to activities which are carried out in the course of private or family life of individuals, which is clearly not the case with the processing of personal data consisting in publication on the internet so that those data are made accessible to an indefinite number of people.

Good catch, thanks.
