Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 3, 2025

At Whisp Socio, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data in connection with our platform and services.

1. Information We Collect

• Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your username, email address, hashed password, and birthdate (to verify you're 13+).
• Profile Data: You may choose to provide additional information such as your bio, location, interests, and profile picture.
• Activity Logs: Includes basic analytics like login history, number of posts, follows, and engagement. This helps us improve platform performance.
• IP Addresses: Logged for login security and abuse prevention.

2. End-to-End Encryption

All private communications, including DMs and private chat messages, are protected with end-to-end encryption. This means only you and the recipient can read your messages—we cannot access or decrypt them.

3. Use of Information

We use your data to:

• Deliver our core features and services
• Protect and secure user accounts
• Monitor abuse and maintain platform integrity
• Comply with legal and regulatory obligations

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with advertisers or unrelated third parties.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies for login persistence, session security, and user preferences (like dark mode). We do not use cookies for advertising or behavioral tracking across websites.

5. Your Rights & Choices

• Update or delete your profile anytime from settings
• Control who can view your posts and profile via privacy options
• Deactivate or permanently delete your account on request

6. Data Retention

We keep user data as long as your account is active. Once you delete your account, we erase personal data unless required by law to retain it for specific reasons (e.g. fraud prevention).

7. Third-Party Tools

We only use third-party services where necessary (e.g., email verification, analytics), and we ensure those services comply with privacy standards equivalent to ours.

8. Security Measures

Our platform uses industry-standard encryption, firewalls, and routine audits to protect your data. We continuously monitor and improve security practices to stay ahead of threats.

9. Policy Updates

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. If we make significant changes, we will notify you via email or an in-app message. The latest version will always be published on this page.
