PUBLICATION CHOICE
Your Reviews’ Visibility On The Internet
Your account visibility preference determines the audience for new reviews. The default being on, reading this notice or using your account does not by itself create a publication decision or consent. The audience shown when you submit a review and your submission action are what matter; you can also separately publish an approved review.

Visibility And Use Limits
- Anyone on the internet can read your review text, rating and username without signing in. This view does not publish your profile picture, profile details, email address or internal account identifiers.
- Only your approved review of a published product suitable for a general audience can be opened after moderation is complete. This choice does not open drafts, reviews awaiting moderation, author-only content or removed content.
- Search engines and AI-powered search and answer tools may crawl, index, link to or quote your review from this public page. Indexing, quotation or any ranking outcome is not guaranteed.
- Your review is associated with your username and is not anonymous; its wording may also identify you. Do not share your own or anyone else's health information, contact details or other personal or sensitive information.
- The account preference for signed-out internet visibility starts on for new reviews; you can turn it off at any time. The submission screen states that your review will be public on the internet. When you see that audience and choose ‘Submit publicly’, the publication choice applies only to that revision of the review you submit. When the preference is off, submission follows the existing member visibility and moderation rules.
- Turning off internet visibility in your account withdraws your reviews from the signed-out view and also turns off pending public-publication choices for reviews awaiting moderation. You can also withdraw one review’s signed-out visibility using the action beside it or delete the review. Turning the account preference back on applies only to subsequent new submissions; it does not automatically republish earlier or withdrawn reviews. Search results, third-party quotations and cached copies may take longer to disappear, and simultaneous removal cannot be guaranteed.
- Reviews are independent community opinions; purchase and product use have not been verified. A review is not a health or product-safety assurance or an advertising endorsement. Disclosure of commercial relationships and incentives, and equal rules for positive and negative opinions, continue to apply.
- This publication choice does not permit model training, reuse in advertising or testimonials, sale of reviewer identity or commercial BiteData use. BiteData remains disabled; this action does not enable sending reviews to an external AI provider.
- Signing in, existing 18+ account eligibility and required Terms acceptance still apply to writing, editing or opening internet publication. To withdraw signed-out visibility, sign in to your account; no new age declaration or Terms acceptance is required. You can withdraw through the personal choice section on this page even if your age or Terms steps are incomplete. Guests may read only the public part suitable for a general audience; reading does not change access conditions for other features.
- Your publication decision is recorded against the review’s content revision with the notice version, language, integrity hash and action time. The account setting’s default value does not itself create a publication record for a review. That record is not general consent for other data uses or retrospective permission for earlier reviews.
- This default does not open earlier reviews in bulk. Reviews sent by older app versions without a record that the current publication notice and intended audience were presented are not opened to signed-out readers either. When the account preference is on, you can open an existing approved review only through its separate publication action.
Where Can You Manage This Choice?
Opening this page or reading the notice does not publish or withdraw anything. Use “Make this review public on the internet” or “Turn off signed-out visibility” beside your own review.
This supplemental notice does not change earlier legal documents or acceptance records. The Terms and Privacy Notice continue to govern moderation, data processing, retention and your rights.
