Welcome to the thrilling world of Specula! While you're busy streaming your cat's latest tricks or showcasing your interpretive dance moves, we're here to keep your data safer than your secrets in a group chat. Grab a snack, kick back, and enjoy this breezy-and slightly cheeky-privacy policy.
1. Who Are We?
Specula Live ("we," "us," or "our") is your friendly neighborhood social media streaming app. We let you broadcast live, connect with friends, and make new fans-without snooping into your snack stash (okay, maybe we'll peek at your banana bread recipe).
2. Data We Collect (Yes, We're Keeping Tabs)
2.1 Information You Give
- Profile Info: Username, email, phone number (only if you want SMS reminders), profile pic (you've got style).
- Stream Details: Titles, descriptions, and tags (we promise not to judge your cat-themed cooking show).
- Messages: DMs, comments, and the occasional emoji-strewn declaration of love.
2.2 Information We Collect Behind the Scenes
- Device & Usage Data: Model, OS version, button presses, stream durations, and how many times you refresh your own profile like a proud parent.
- Location (Optional): Only if you enable it (we're not into uninvited treasure hunts).
- Cookies & Tracking Tech: Pixels, cookies, and digital breadcrumbs to remember your preferences and keep you logged in-even if your memory is foggier than a London morning.
3. Why We Need Your Info (It's Not an Excuse to Be Creepy)
- To Power the App: We need to know who you are so you can log in without us shouting "Who are you?!" every time you tap the screen.
- To Improve Specula Live: Crash reports, feature wishes, and your love-hate rants help us buff the app-like polishing a car until it gleams.
- To Communicate: Updates, newsletters, and seasonal memes (because you deserve a laugh).
4. Sharing Is Caring... Kind Of
We solemnly swear we will not sell, rent, or barter your personal info to ad agencies or alien overlords. We might share details with:
- Service Providers: Our backstage crew (hosting services, analytics pals) who help keep Specula Live running smoothly.
- Legal Requests: If a court, regulator, or law enforcement does a dramatic reenactment, we comply-but only with valid orders.
5. Your Rights (Around the World)
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws like the GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), PIPEDA (Canada), or other applicable regulations:
- Access: Peek under the hood and see what data we hold.
- Rectification: Fix any typos or outdated info.
- Erasure: Ask us to delete your data (we'll shed a digital tear but comply).
- Portability: Download your data and take it elsewhere (like a data picnic).
- Restrict or Object: Tell us to pause or stop certain data uses.
- Withdraw Consent: Change your mind-just let us know.
- Lodge a Complaint: If things go sideways, you can complain with the relevant data protection authority (but first, let's chat!).
6. Security-Our Secret Handshake
We use encryption, firewalls, and the occasional digital guard dog to protect your info. But remember: no system is perfect. Keep your password strong (and don't share it with your cat).
7. Minors-Parental Guidance Suggested
Specula Live is aimed at adults. If you're under 18, get your parents' blessing before you join our streaming shenanigans.
8. Changes to This Policy
Whenever we tweak this policy-like adding more jokes or beefing up our security-you'll see the new date at the top. We'll also nudge you in-app so you don't miss out.
