At Orpilla, your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and handle your personal information when you use our family social network platform.

Our Privacy Commitment

Orpilla operates on three fundamental principles:

• No ads — We will never display advertisements on our platform
• No algorithms — Your feed shows family content chronologically, not algorithmically curated
• No data selling — We will never sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for commercial purposes

1. Information We Collect

• IP address and general location information
• Usage data (features used, time spent, interactions)
• Log data (access times, errors, performance metrics)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to provide and improve the Orpilla family network:

3. How We Share Your Information

Within the Family Network

Content you post on Orpilla is visible to other approved members of the family network. You control what you share, and you can adjust privacy settings for specific content.

We Do Not Share With Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing or commercial purposes. Your family data stays within the family.

Limited Exceptions

We may disclose information only in the following limited circumstances:

• With your explicit consent
• To service providers who help us operate the platform (e.g., hosting, email delivery) under strict confidentiality agreements
• To comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests from authorities
• To protect the rights, safety, and security of Orpilla, our users, or the public

4. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your information:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest
• Secure authentication and access controls
• Regular security assessments and updates
• Limited employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis

While we take reasonable precautions to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and protect your account credentials.

5. Your Privacy Rights

You have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Correction: Update or correct your personal information
• Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. If you request account deletion, we will remove your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain certain data for legal or legitimate business purposes.

7. Children's Privacy

Orpilla requires all users to be at least 15 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 15 years of age. If we become aware that a user is under 15, we will promptly delete their account and associated information.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe your child under 15 has created an account on Orpilla, please contact the platform administrators immediately so we can remove the account.

8. Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep you logged in

• Analyze platform usage to improve functionality

We do not use tracking cookies for advertising or share cookie data with third-party advertisers.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be stored and processed in servers located in different countries. We ensure that any international transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and that your data receives adequate protection.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of any material changes through the platform or via email. Your continued use of Orpilla after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
