+We require an email address to idenitfy the account holder. This will not be shared with
+any other website or service. It is used to send you notifications about your account and
+perform administrative tasks such as resetting your password. You have the option to
+opt-out of all email notifications through your settings.
+
+Communication channels created on this website require a name and a photo or avatar. A

+this identity. The name does not need to be your real name and the photo or avatar does
+not need to resemble you.
