Privacy Policy

HWMNO app — Last updated: July 17, 2026

1. Data We Collect

• Account data: name, username, email, phone (if provided), date of birth (for age verification), and password (hashed — never readable by us).
• Your content: posts, comments, stories, messages, and photos/videos you upload.
• Usage & device data: device type, OS, IP address, and a device identifier for security and fraud prevention.
• Optional data: location (when enabled for features like marketplaces), contacts (only with your permission).

2. How We Use Your Data

• Operate the app and its features (posting, messaging, calls, marketplaces).
• Verify identity and age, protect accounts, and prevent abuse and fraud.
• Notify you of interactions, improve the experience, and provide support.
• Moderate content and enforce community standards (see "Safety & Moderation").

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your data. We share it only: (a) with trusted service providers that operate the app (email, storage, video calls) under confidentiality obligations; (b) when legally required; (c) content you post publicly is visible to other users per your privacy settings.

4. Safety & Content Moderation

We apply objectionable-content filtering plus reporting and blocking tools. We reserve the right to review and remove violating content and suspend violating accounts. Passwords are stored hashed (bcrypt) and data is transmitted over HTTPS.

5. Children

The app is not intended for anyone under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. We verify age at sign-up and will delete any account found to belong to an under-age child.

6. Your Rights

• Access & edit: via account settings.
• Delete account: you can permanently delete your account and all its data from within the app (Settings → Delete Account), or by contacting us.
• Object/withdraw: you may withdraw consent by ceasing use and deleting your account.

7. Data Retention

We retain your data while your account is active. On deletion, your personal data is permanently removed within a reasonable period, except where retention is legally required or needed for security.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy and will notify you of material changes in-app.
