EriNet — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 November 2026 · Contact: deriyakinni@gmail.com

EriNet ("the app", "we") is a global community platform for connecting, communicating and discovering. This policy explains what data the app processes and why.

1. Data we collect

• Account data: email address, display name, username, date of birth (required at sign-up to verify you meet our minimum age of 16; never shown publicly), optional profile details (bio, city/region, profile photo) — provided by you at sign-up or in your profile.
• Content you create: posts, comments, stories, videos ("reels"), marketplace listings, events, chat messages (text, images, voice messages).
• Communication metadata: call history entries (who called whom, when, missed/answered) for the in-app calling feature. Call audio/video itself is transmitted in real time and not recorded by us.
• Push tokens: if you enable notifications, a push subscription token is stored so we can deliver message and call notifications.
• Preferences: your in-app settings (language, privacy choices, notification preferences).

2. How data is used

Solely to operate EriNet: showing your content to the audiences you choose, delivering messages and calls, sending notifications you enabled, enforcing our Community Guidelines (automatic content moderation of public posts and media), and keeping the platform safe (blocking, reporting, spam prevention). We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with third parties for their own advertising.

3. Where data is processed

EriNet uses Supabase (database, authentication, media storage), LiveKit Cloud (real-time voice/video transport), our own backend server (hosted on Render, EU region) and, for automatic content moderation of public content, a content-safety API. Data is transmitted encrypted (HTTPS/TLS).

4. Privacy controls

In the app you control: who can message you, who can call you, story visibility (everyone / followers / nobody), blocking users, and notification settings. Private chat media is stored privately and served only via time-limited signed links to conversation participants.

5. Account deletion

You can permanently delete your account inside the app: Profile → Settings → Account → Danger Zone → Delete account. This removes your profile, your media files and sign-in ability; messages you sent are anonymized to "Deleted user" so other people's conversations stay intact.

You may also request deletion by email to deriyakinni@gmail.com from your registered address.

6. Minimum age (16+)

EriNet requires users to be at least 16 years old. We ask for your date of birth at sign-up and block accounts below this age — this check is also enforced on our servers. EriNet is not directed at children. If you believe an underage person is using the app, contact us at the address above and we will remove the account. See also our Child Safety Standards.

7. Changes

We may update this policy; the current version is always available at this address.
