SYRKL ("we", "our", "us") is an emoji-only social platform. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use the SYRKL mobile application.
SYRKL is a general audience service intended for users age 13 and older. We are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not use SYRKL or submit any information to us.
When you create an account, we collect your email address, the username you choose, and your date of birth (used to verify you are at least 13 years old). If you upload a profile photo or post images and videos, that media is stored securely. We also collect your daily pulse (mood emoji selection) and emoji reactions you make on posts.
We collect device information such as your device type and operating system version solely for push notification delivery and app performance.
We use your information to operate and improve SYRKL, deliver push notifications for reactions, follows, and messages, display your profile and posts to other users, and provide the daily encouragement feature.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Your data is stored using Google Firebase, which provides industry-standard encryption and security. Media files (photos and videos) are stored in Firebase Storage. All data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS).
You can update or delete your profile information at any time within the app. You can request deletion of your account and all associated data by contacting us. You can opt out of push notifications through your device settings.
SYRKL is a general audience service and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent, in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
At signup, we collect a user's date of birth to verify age. If a user is determined to be under 13, the account creation is blocked.
If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will delete that information from our records within 7 days.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child under 13 has created an account on SYRKL, please contact us immediately at flemming.dawayne@gmail.com with the subject line "COPPA Report" and we will promptly remove the account and all associated data.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes through the app or via email.
If you have questions about this privacy policy or your data, contact us at flemming.dawayne@gmail.com.
