Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Kickgram (“we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our website and mobile applications.

2. What Data We Collect

• Account information: email address, username, password hash, and authentication details.
• Profile information: display name, bio, profile photo/avatar, sport, location, role, and interests.
• Uploaded content: videos, comments, likes, follows, and other content you create or interact with.
• Device and usage data: device type, operating system, app version, IP address, log data, and in-app usage analytics.
• Push notification tokens: device tokens used to deliver push notifications for follows, likes, and comments.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to provide, maintain, and improve Kickgram; personalize your feed and recommendations; send notifications and service updates; enforce our Terms of Service and content policies; and protect the security and integrity of the platform.

4. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party providers to operate the platform. Currently these include:

• Supabase — for authentication, database, storage, and serverless backend functions.
• Analytics providers — we may add analytics tools in the future to understand app usage and crashes. This policy will be updated if and when that happens.

These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually obligated to protect it.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. You can update most profile information in the app. To request deletion of your account and data, contact us at the email below.

6. Children’s Privacy

Kickgram is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe we have collected data from a child under 13, please contact us so we can delete it.

Note: the age threshold and any required parental-consent flow are placeholders and should be finalized by legal counsel.

7. Cookies and Tracking

We and our analytics partners may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how the service is used. You can manage cookies through your browser or device settings.

8. Data Retention

We keep your account and content data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, we will remove or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable time, except where we are required to keep it by law.

9. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and row-level security in our database. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of material changes through the app or by email. Continued use of Kickgram after changes means you accept the updated policy.
