Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information InkRoar collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep it in plain English on purpose.

1. Information We Collect

• Account information: username, email address, password (stored hashed), and optional profile details you add.
• Content: posts, comments, drafts, and reactions you create on the Service.
• Usage data: pages viewed, read time, votes, clicks, and similar activity used to run the feed, calculate creator earnings, and keep the platform safe.
• Payment details: the payout method and account identifier you provide to receive earnings. We never see or store full card numbers.
• Device data: IP address, browser type, and cookies needed for security, sessions, and analytics.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To operate the Service: feeds, communities, profiles, and search.
• To measure views and engagement so we can calculate and pay creator earnings accurately.
• To provide optional AI-assisted writing features when you choose to use them. Text you submit to these features is processed to generate the assistance you requested and is not used to build advertising profiles.
• To show advertising, including contextual ads and ads from third-party networks that may use cookies subject to their own policies.
• To detect fraud, enforce our Terms, and comply with legal obligations.

3. What We Don't Do

• We don't sell your personal information.
• We don't read your private drafts for any purpose other than providing the Service and safety enforcement required by law.
• We don't require payment information unless you're receiving payouts.

4. Cookies

We use essential cookies for login sessions and security, and analytics cookies to understand aggregate usage. Third-party ad networks may set their own cookies where permitted; you can control cookies through your browser settings.

5. Sharing

We share information only with:

• Service providers who help us operate (hosting, email delivery, payment processing, AI processing), bound by contracts limiting their use of your data.
• Advertising partners, in aggregate or pseudonymous form for ad delivery and measurement.
• Authorities, when required by valid legal process.

6. Your Rights

You can access, correct, download, or delete your personal data at any time from your account settings, or by contacting support. Deleting your account removes your personal information within 30 days, except records we must keep for legal or fraud-prevention purposes.

7. Data Security and Retention

Data is encrypted in transit, passwords are hashed, and access is restricted internally. We retain data only as long as your account is active or as needed for the purposes above.

8. Children

InkRoar is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. Monetization features require users to be 18 or older.

9. Changes

If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you on the Service before they take effect.
