Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 18, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Vagary (the "Service") collects, uses, and protects your information. By using the Service, you consent to these practices.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only necessary information to provide the Service, with your consent where required (e.g., via X OAuth for X data).

  • Personal Data You Provide: Email address, username, and X authentication details (e.g., access tokens via OAuth, without storing passwords).
  • X Data You Authorize: Bookmarks, likes, and other authorized data (e.g., posts, replies) that we access and index solely for your search features.
  • Usage Data Collected Automatically: IP address, device information (e.g., browser type), and analytics on Service usage (e.g., via cookies or logs).

We do not collect sensitive data (e.g. payment information) unless explicitly required for premium features and with your additional consent. We practice data minimization, collecting only what's essential.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and improve the Service (e.g., indexing your authorized X data for search).
  • For security (e.g., fraud detection), analytics, and legal compliance.
  • To communicate Service updates or respond to your inquiries.

We do not use your data for unrelated purposes or sell it.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or share your data with third parties, except:

  • With trusted service providers (e.g., cloud hosting or analytics tools) under strict confidentiality agreements.
  • As required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
  • In a business transfer (e.g., merger or acquisition), where this Policy continues to apply.

X data is not shared back to X or others without your consent or legal obligation.

4. Data Security and Retention

We use industry-standard measures, including encryption, access controls, and regular audits, to protect your data. Data is retained only as long as your account is active or necessary for legal/operational purposes (e.g., backups up to 30 days post-deletion). You can request deletion anytime.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA):

  • Access, correct, delete, or port your data.
  • Opt out of non-essential cookies or analytics.

Contact us to exercise these rights.

6. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies for functionality and analytics. You can manage your preferences via browser settings.

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for users under 13 (or 16 in some regions). We do not knowingly collect data from children.

8. Changes

We may update this Policy and notify you of material changes via email, in-app notices, or on our site. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
