Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 4, 2025
Nehborly Voice ("we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the minimal data we collect. This Privacy Policy outlines what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights. We operate with anonymity and user privacy as a core design principle.
1. Information We Collect
We only collect data necessary to operate and improve the Service:
- Email address — only if you choose to register an account.
- Voice recordings — if you record and publish posts or replies.
- Approximate location — inferred from IP address for content relevance and moderation.
- IP address — for anti-abuse, security, and system diagnostics.
- Basic usage data — including session activity, page views, and feature interactions.
We do not collect phone numbers, contacts, device identifiers, or real names unless voluntarily provided in a user profile.
2. Use of Information
We use the collected information to:
- Deliver and maintain the Service
- Provide localized content and channels
- Detect and prevent spam, abuse, and fraud
- Support account functionality (if applicable)
- Improve user experience and app performance
3. Anonymity and Identity
We do not maintain real-world identity records for users. Your participation in Nehborly Voice is anonymous by default unless you voluntarily disclose personal information. We do not attempt to match users to their voice content, IP addresses, or usage data.
4. Law Enforcement Requests
Due to our minimal data retention and lack of identity linkage, we are generally unable to comply with law enforcement requests for personal user information or voice attribution. If such a request is received, we will respond transparently based on the limited data available.
5. Cookies and Tracking
We only use essential cookies for authentication and abuse protection. We do not use third-party analytics, ad trackers, or behavioral fingerprinting technologies.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers, brokers, or any third parties. No exceptions.
7. Data Retention
We retain only the minimum necessary data for as long as needed to operate the platform and enforce community integrity. Data associated with deleted accounts is permanently removed.
8. Children's Privacy
Nehborly Voice is not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we become aware that data from a child has been submitted, we will delete it promptly.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, modify, delete, or restrict use of your personal data. To exercise these rights, please contact us directly via our Contact Page.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and publish the revised version on this page.
