Data has been collected from publicly available webpages that form part of the $WEBSITE. These pages contain timestamped posts made by $WEBSITE users, associated with their usernames.
I recognise that individuals' posts constitute personal data. The individual that a post relates to is often likely to be identifiable in combination with registration data held by $WEBSITE, for example.
I note that I generally do not have the means to identify individuals from the information being processed. However, it is possible that some individuals will have chosen to post information that is readily identifiable.
The purposes of processing is to better understand the use of the $WEBSITE, the nature of its content over time, and how content is produced and engaged with by $WEBSITE users.
