The product distinguishes Conținut Public, Applause to Reveal / Gated Content, and Conținut Privat și Confidențial.
Conținut Privat și Confidențial means underlying digital material accessible only to one or a finite number of recipients selected by the sender. A separate preview poate be shown. Where configured, Recipient Authorization + Reveal Condition = Access. A hidden or unlisted URL alone is not treated as recipient-level access control.
Payments are processed primarily through PayPal. We seek to minimize storage of full card credentials where plată providers handle them directly.
MCN consumer balances are separate from Creator, Benefit Partner and Affiliate fiat balances. Creator revenue is calculated separately and paid out in fiat when eligible.

Typical operational targets include: raw Magic Code logs around 90 days; Reveal access records around 12 months; support/moderation records around 3 years; security logs around 90 days; backups around 35–90 days; conting, Creator/Benefit/Affiliate financial records up to 10 years where legally required. Legal holds override normal deletion.
