Privacy Policy

Who is responsible

[Legal entity name] is responsible for your data. Contact: support@viflika.com.

What we collect

Account: email address, password (stored securely by our database provider, never readable by us), username, and the year you were born (only to check your age; never shown).

Profile: display name, picture, bio, link, pronouns, your privacy settings, and the topics you pick when you join (used to suggest creators and to rank your feed).

What you post and do: videos and their captions, text and stickers, comments, voice notes, likes, saves, reposts, follows, blocks, polls, Applause, gifts sent and received, thank-yous for gifts (a reaction and an optional note, seen only by the person who sent the gift), messages, and what you do in Live rooms (chat, questions, polls, joining as a guest).

Views: that you watched a video (counted once a day per video, to show play counts).

Skips: when a video was on your screen for under 2 seconds, that you skipped it, so it is shown to you less often. Only your own feed uses this. Kept 30 days, then deleted, and deleted straight away if you delete your account.

Reports you make, and reports about your content.

App usage, in our own database (no advertising or analytics company): that you opened the app; signed up or finished the first steps; watched a video and for how many seconds; liked, commented, followed, shared, saved, marked a reply helpful or sent a gift; started, finished or failed an upload; or a video failed to play. Each record has the time, your account, the video if there is one, whether you use iPhone or Android, and the app version. Before you sign in, only "app opened", "sign-up started" and error reports are recorded, without an account.

Error reports: when the app hits an error, the error message and where in the app it happened, so we can fix it.

Usage records and error reports are kept for 180 days, then deleted. They are deleted straight away if you delete your account.

Why we use it

To run your account and show your content to the people allowed to see it (to provide the service you asked for).

To keep viflika safe: checking age, preventing spam and abuse, and reviewing reports (our legitimate interest and legal duties).

To fix problems and improve the app, and to show creators simple numbers about their own videos (how many people watched, for how long, and new followers) (our legitimate interest).

Who can see what

Public account: your posts can be seen by anyone on viflika. Private account: only your followers. People you block cannot see your media.

Messages are seen by you and the person you message. Live rooms are visible to signed-in people while they are open.

Who we share it with

Supabase (database, sign-in and file storage) and Expo (app updates) process data for us under contract. [Hosting region to be confirmed.]

Apple and Google, when you download the app from their stores.

Authorities, only when the law requires it.

Nobody else. We do not sell your data.

How long we keep it

While your account exists. When you delete your account, your profile, content, messages and activity are deleted straight away; backups are overwritten within [period].

Reports may be kept for up to [period] to keep the community safe.

Your rights

You can see and change your profile and settings in the app, download your videos (where allowed), and delete your account in Settings.

Depending on where you live (for example under UK GDPR or Nigeria's Data Protection Act), you can ask for a copy of your data, correction, deletion, or object to some uses. Email support@viflika.com. You can also complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO).

Children

viflika is not for anyone under 16: sign-up checks the year you were born. If we learn an account belongs to someone under 16, we delete it. Live is for people 18 and over (checked from the year you were born). [Rules for 16 and 17 year olds for gifts to be confirmed.]

Changes

We will tell you in the app about important changes to this policy.
