We enable the sharing of user content on our Services. If your content is public-facing, third parties may access and use it. We do not sell that content; it is yours. However, we do allow third parties, such as search engines (e.g., Google), archives, and other members of the public to access and compile public-facing information.

Below is the information that is shared about your uploaded & created content:

• The visuals that you create are by default private and accessible only by you. However, when you share your visual in password protected or public mode, they will be accessible by others. A visual that is shared in public mode will be searchable and indexable by search engines as well.
• The files (images, SVGs) that you upload into DesignCap are private and are accessible only from within the visual in which they are used provided the visual itself has been shared by you.
