Privacy Policy
Draft. A lawyer has not reviewed this text yet. It may change before the app launches.
Clickd is a mobile app that gives the whole world one photo challenge every day. This policy explains what the app stores about you, who can see it and how to remove it.
On this page
1. Who runs Clickd
Clickd is run by Legal name and address of the operator: to be added. For anything about your data, write to Contact email: to be added.
2. What we store
- Account
- Your email address and your password. The password is saved only as a secure hash, so nobody can read it. We also save when you created the account and when you accepted the Terms of Use.
- Profile
- Your username, your display name and, if you add one, a profile picture.
- Photos
- The photos you publish, saved as one display version and one small thumbnail, with the challenge they belong to and the time you published them.
- Activity
- The photos you like, the accounts you follow and block, and the photos you report with the reason you chose.
- Progress
- How many photos you have published, the likes you have received, your day streak, experience points and level.
- Safety
- Whether a photo has been reported or hidden, and whether an account has been banned.
- Sign-in
- When you sign in, our sign-in provider records the IP address and the device or browser type of that session, to keep accounts secure.
We do not ask for your date of birth. You confirm your age with a checkbox when you sign up.
3. Your photos and camera
Challenge photos are taken with the camera inside the app. A photo leaves your phone only when you tap Publish.
Before upload, the app re-encodes each photo, which removes hidden data such as GPS location and camera details (EXIF). It uploads a display version of up to 1440 pixels and a 480-pixel thumbnail, never the original.
The app opens your photo library only if you choose a profile picture from it. That picture is re-encoded too.
The app does not ask for your location or your contacts, and it has no advertising or third-party analytics.
4. What other people can see
Every photo you publish is public. People using Clickd see it with your username. The image files sit at long, random web addresses that open without an account. Anyone who sees a photo can save or share it, and we cannot control those copies.
Your profile is visible too: username, display name, profile picture, photo count, likes received, streak, level and the date you joined.
Other users cannot see which photos you like, whom you follow or whom you block, and they never see your reports.
5. How we use your data
- To run the app: signing you in, showing photos, and counting likes, streaks and experience points.
- To send the 6-digit codes that confirm your email and reset your password. We do not send marketing email.
- To keep Clickd safe: reviewing reports, hiding photos and banning accounts that break the Terms of Use.
We do not sell your data and we do not use it for advertising.
6. Companies that help us run Clickd
- Supabase
- Stores the database and the photos, and handles sign-in. Our project is hosted in Frankfurt, Germany.
- Resend
- Sends our emails from Ireland. It receives your email address and the message.
- Netlify
- Hosts this website. It can see the IP address of website visitors.
If you choose Share to Instagram Story, the photo goes to Instagram at that moment, under Instagram's own terms.
7. How long we keep it
We keep your account and photos until you delete them.
If you delete a photo, the photo and its likes are removed for everyone. That challenge's photo slot stays used and your experience points stay.
If you delete your account, everything in section 2 is removed, as the account deletion page explains. Technical logs at the companies above, and any backups they keep, are not edited one by one and expire on those companies' schedules.
8. On your phone and on this website
The app saves your language, your sign-in session and your reminder setting on your phone. The daily reminder is a notification scheduled on your own phone, and you can turn it off.
This website sets no cookies and has no tracking.
9. Your choices
In the app you can change your profile, delete any of your photos, block people and delete your account.
To ask for a copy of your data, or for anything else about it, write to Contact email: to be added. Depending on where you live, the law may give you more rights.
10. Age limit
Clickd is for people aged 13 or older. If you think a younger child has an account, tell us at Contact email: to be added and we will delete it.
11. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update it here and change the date at the top.
