Welcome to Derysa! Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") is part of and incorporated into the Derysa Terms of Service. Capitalized terms used but not defined here have the meanings given to them in the Terms.
This Policy describes how Derysa ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal information when you use our application and related services (the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this Policy.
Our services will not target anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 18. We found that children under the age of 18 provided us with personal information and we immediately deleted it from our server. If you are a parent or guardian and you know that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take the necessary measures.
We collect information to provide, secure, and improve your experience.
- Account Information: When you create an account, we collect details such as your chosen nickname, profile photo, date of birth, gender, and login credentials.
- Communications: Information you share when contacting our support team or communicating with other users within the Service, including text, audio, video, and images.
- Usage & Log Data: We collect information about your interaction with the Service, such as IP address, device type, browser type, pages visited, referral URLs, and timestamps.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use these to understand user activity, remember preferences, and enhance security.
- Analytics Data: We use tools like Google Analytics to collect aggregated data on Service usage to analyze trends and performance.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To create, maintain, and secure your account.
- To provide, operate, and personalize the Service.
- To verify your identity and prevent fraud.
- To communicate with you, including providing customer support and sending service updates.
- To monitor and analyze usage trends to improve the Service.
- To enforce our terms, policies, and legal rights, and to comply with applicable laws.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only in the following circumstances:
- With Your Consent: As directed by you.
- Service Providers: With trusted vendors who perform services on our behalf (e.g., hosting, payment processing, analytics, customer support), under strict confidentiality agreements.
- For Legal Reasons: To comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, protect the rights and safety of Derysa, our users, or the public.
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, sale, or other business transfer.
- Aggregated/Anonymized Data: We may share non-identifiable, aggregated data for analysis, reporting, or marketing.
Important: User-uploaded or service-generated graphic images are considered private property and are not transferred to third parties under any circumstances, except as necessary to provide the Service (e.g., hosting) or as required by law.
We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. These include encryption (e.g., SSL for data transmission) and strict access controls. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
- We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Policy, or as required by law.
- You may request account deletion through the Service.
- Upon deletion, we initiate a process to remove your personal data from our active systems according to a defined schedule (e.g., profile hidden after 30 days, full data purge after 90 days), except where extended retention is necessary for legal, audit, or security reasons.
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, which may include:
- Access: To request a copy of your data.
- Correction: To update or correct inaccurate data.
- Deletion: To request erasure of your data.
- Objection/Restriction: To object to or restrict certain processing.
- Portability: To receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
To exercise these rights, please contact our Customer Support. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.
Please be cautious about sharing personal or sensitive information in public areas of the Service (e.g., public profiles, chats). Information you voluntarily disclose publicly can be seen, collected, and used by others, including search engines, and is no longer considered private.
We may update this Policy periodically. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new Policy in the Service and updating the "Effective Date." Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact our Customer Support team through the Derysa application.
