We collect the following information:

• Account Information: When you create an account to publish, we collect your username, email address, and password.
• Usage Data: We log information such as the channels you subscribe to, the pushes you publish, and basic usage patterns (e.g., timestamps).
• Device Information: We may also collect data like browser type, operating system, and IP address to help us understand usage trends and ensure service reliability.

How We Use Your Information
