  • Account data: name, username, email, profile details, social links.
  • Content: posts, comments, projects, teams, endorsements, activity metadata.
  • Usage data: device/browser information, pages visited, interactions, approximate location.
  • Cookies & similar: session and preference cookies for authentication and settings.

How We Use Information

We process data under: (i) Performance of a contract (providing core features), (ii) Legitimate interests (security, analytics, product improvement), (iii) Consent (where required), and (iv) Compliance with legal obligations.

Sharing & Service Providers

We do not sell your personal information. We use trusted sub-processors to operate the platform: Supabase (auth, database, storage), Vercel/Netlify (hosting/CDN), and Resend (email). These providers process data on our behalf under appropriate agreements.

International Transfers

Data may be processed in the United States and other countries. Where applicable, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., SCCs) for cross-border transfers.

Data Retention

We retain data for as long as needed to provide Services, comply with law, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. You may request deletion of your account data, subject to legal holds.

Your Rights

  • Access, correction, deletion, and portability of your data.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent where applicable.
  • Manage notifications and email preferences in-app.

Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect data in transit and at rest. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; you are responsible for safeguarding credentials.

Children

Our Services are not directed to children under 13 (or as defined by local law). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us.

We may update this Policy. Material changes will be announced via the app or email. Your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
