Introduction

TurdList ("we," "our," or "us") operates the TurdList mobile and web application (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service.

Information We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect personal messages or comments (our system is avatar‑based only).
• We do not collect location data.
• We do not collect IP addresses or other network related data (outside of FCM for push notification).

Automatically Collected Information

• Usage Data: Anonymous usage statistics and app performance data.

Anonymity and Privacy Protection

Our core principle is that TurdList interactions remain completely anonymous. We employ technical measures to ensure:

• Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or to protect our rights and safety.
• Business Transfer: In the event of a merger or acquisition, user data may be transferred (users will be notified).

Data Security

We implement industry‑standard security measures to protect your information:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest.
• Secure authentication systems.
• Regular security audits and updates.
• Limited access to personal data by employees.
• Automatic data deletion policies for logs and temporary data.

Data Retention

• Account Data: Retained while your account is active and for 30 days after deletion.
• Usage Analytics: Anonymous data retained for up to 2 years for service improvement.
• Log Data: Server logs automatically deleted after 30 days.
