Privacy Policy

By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy, subject to applicable laws and technical limitations. Continued use of the Service following any updates to this Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

We may collect certain types of information when you use the Service. The nature and extent of this information depend on your interactions with the Service.

We may collect the following:

• Account details such as email address, username, and optional profile photo.
• User content you choose to share, including posted photos and friend connections.
• Technical information about your device, operating system, session tokens, and basic usage activity necessary for security and functionality.

We generally do not collect location data, private messages, browsing history, or contact lists. We reserve the right to collect additional information if necessary to comply with applicable laws or to protect our legitimate interests, provided such collection remains consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Information may be used for purposes including but not limited to:

• Operating and maintaining the Service, including account authentication and content sharing.
• Enforcing content and usage limits that form part of the Service's design.
• Enhancing security and detecting abuse or unauthorized access.
• Developing, testing, and improving features of the Service.
• Providing support and important service communications.

We may also use information to comply with legal obligations or exercise our legal rights.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

We may disclose information under the following circumstances:

• With consent: If you direct us to disclose information.
• Service providers: To trusted infrastructure or service providers (e.g., Supabase) that process data on our behalf, subject to contractual safeguards.
• Legal and regulatory requirements: Where disclosure is required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.
• Safety and rights protection: To protect the security, property, or rights of the Service, our users, or the public.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, we may transfer information as part of that transaction. Where legally required, we will provide notice, but your continued use of the Service constitutes consent to such transfers.

We are not liable for the actions of other users who may access or interact with your content in ways permitted by the Service. Responsibility for user-generated content rests solely with the user.

We employ reasonable safeguards designed to protect information, including encryption, access controls, and private storage systems. However, no method of storage or transmission can be guaranteed as completely secure.

We disclaim liability for unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss of information arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including failures of third-party systems or user negligence.

We generally retain information for as long as an account is active or as otherwise necessary to provide services. Upon account deletion, we ordinarily remove information within a commercially reasonable period, subject to applicable law, technical limitations, and legitimate business purposes.

Subject to applicable law, users may access, update, or request deletion of their information using tools in the Service or by contacting us.

Requests will be honored within a commercially reasonable period, subject to technical feasibility and legal obligations. Deleted accounts cannot be recovered.

The Service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If such information is discovered, it will generally be deleted as soon as reasonably practicable.

Information may be stored or processed in countries other than your own. By using the Service, you consent to such transfers, subject to safeguards consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

We may amend this Privacy Policy at our discretion. Updates will be posted within the Service, and the "last updated" date will be revised. Continued use of the Service following such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
