1. What we collect
We collect three categories of information:
- Account info — your name, email, username, and password (hashed).
- Content — the work you upload, your contest entries, messages, votes, and follows.
- Device & usage data — IP address, device type, OS, and basic interaction analytics so we can keep the app running and improve it.
2. What we don't collect
We don't sell your data. We don't run third-party advertising trackers inside the app. We don't read your direct messages.
3. How we use it
We use your data to run your account, deliver contests, count votes accurately, prevent fraud and abuse, and send you updates you've opted in to. That's it.
4. How we store it
Data is stored on encrypted servers with strict access controls. Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms. Backups are encrypted and rotated regularly.
5. Cookies
The Inkio website uses a small number of essential cookies to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. We don't use third-party advertising cookies.
6. Sharing
We share your information only with: (a) service providers that help us run the app under strict confidentiality agreements, (b) law enforcement when legally required, and (c) anyone you publicly post content to inside the app.
7. Your rights
You can request a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or delete your account at any time from inside the app or by emailing privacy@inkio.app. Most requests are honored within 30 days.
8. Children's privacy
Inkio is not directed at children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has created an account, we will delete it promptly.
9. International transfers
If you use Inkio outside the country where our servers are hosted, your data may be transferred internationally. We use standard contractual clauses to protect it.
10. Changes
We'll notify you in the app before any material change to this policy takes effect.
