1. Introduction
Thiskrit Ltd ("ThisKrit", "we", "us") operates the ThisKrit social platform. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We built ThisKrit to be private by design, and this policy reflects that commitment.
By using ThisKrit, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.
2. Information we collect
We collect only what we need to provide a safe, high-quality experience:
- Account information: your name, username, email address, and password (stored only as a secure hash).
- Profile content: your bio, profile photo, and any details you choose to add.
- Content you create: posts, Stories, comments, messages, and the Spaces you join.
- Usage data: interactions such as likes and follows, and general device and log information used to keep the service reliable and secure.
We do not collect biometric data, and we do not track you across other apps or websites for advertising.
3. How we use your information
- To create and secure your account, including email verification.
- To operate core features — feeds, Stories, Spaces, and messaging.

We never sell your personal data, and we do not use your private messages to target advertising.

6. Data security
We protect your data with encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, verified accounts, and secure, token-based authentication. Access to personal data is restricted on a need-to-know basis. No system is perfectly secure, but we work continuously to protect your information.
