Privacy Policy
Who is responsible for your data?

What information do we collect?
We collect information you provide when creating and using your account, including your name, username, email address, profile details, posts, images, comments, messages, and other content you share on Hurcle.
Do we collect your location?
Yes. Hurcle is a location-based social sharing platform, so we may collect your approximate or precise location when you allow location access. This helps us show nearby posts, places, users, and location-based content.
Is Hurcle only for adults?
Yes. Hurcle is intended only for users who are 18 years of age or older. By using Hurcle, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old.
What content do we store?
We store the content you create or upload, such as social posts, captions, media, reactions, comments, location tags, and profile information, so the app can display and manage your activity.
Why do we use your information?
We use your information to operate Hurcle, personalize your experience, show location-based posts, improve safety, prevent abuse, provide support, send service updates, and comply with legal obligations.
Who do we share your information with?
We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with service providers who help us run the app, analytics providers where permitted, legal authorities when required, and other users based on the privacy settings of the content you post.
Can other users see my information?
Yes. Information you choose to post publicly, including your profile, posts, media, comments, and location-based content, may be visible to other Hurcle users depending on your settings and app features.
Do you use cookies or similar technologies?
We may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, improve performance, measure usage, and protect the platform from misuse.
How can I control my location data?
You can control location permissions through your browser or device settings. If you disable location access, some location-based features of Hurcle may not work properly.
How long do we keep your data?
We keep your personal data for as long as needed to provide Hurcle, maintain your account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and enforce our terms. When no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.
What are my rights?
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
- Delete your account or request deletion of your data
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format
- Complain to your local data protection authority
How do I delete my account?
You may request account deletion by contacting us at support@hurcle.com. After deletion, some information may remain where required by law, security, fraud prevention, or backup retention.
What about safety and moderation?
We may review, restrict, remove, or report content and accounts that violate our rules, harm other users, involve illegal activity, or threaten the safety and integrity of Hurcle.
What about children?
Hurcle is not intended for children or anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from users under 18. If we learn that a minor has created an account, we may delete it.
How will you tell me about changes?
If we update this policy, we will change the last updated date and, where appropriate, notify you through the app, website, or email.
