My experience of using Pixiv Website


I use this community website called Pixiv, it is for artists to upload their works and share with others. In the Privacy Policy, it says they only use private information for the following purposes:
( 1 )  In order to provide this service.
( 2 )  In order to charge users who use the paid service.
( 3 )  As determining data for improvement of this service, additional of a new service or publication or delivery of advertisements considering users' age, gender and interests.
( 4 )  In order to prevent usage violating the terms of use of this service.
( 5 )  In order to gather statistical data of users' usage (In case of making such data, data shall be modified in order not to identify an individual).

The funny thing is I can’t really find any information about if there is a breach in security on their site. But it does ask the users to keep their account and password safe. What I’m thinking is Pixiv is all about free sharing art works. And it indicates that no one shall use anything from this website to make profits. If this website got hacked, they will probably do their best to preserve those data won’t be deleted. To be honest, there is really no point to breach into a non-profit community website.

I’m really enjoying use Pixiv, it really protects every users’ privacy and intellectual property. If any Pixiv users find someone else is using their art works without permission. They could file a complaint to Pixiv, and staffs from Pixiv will help to handle the case.
