Reports on the home page, in Projects, Events, Groups, Blogs and Lifetime legacy may be different from the views that are seen by other users.

If you want to change or delete what the system records about you, you can do so simply in the settings. By this you simply affect what you want and do not want to see.

We recommend interesting Projects, Groups, Events:

You then resolve your claim in any competent court that has the appropriate jurisdiction.
