Deaf Pulse — The social platform built for Deaf culture
This policy is a starting draft and is not legal advice. It should be reviewed by an attorney before you rely on it.
1. What We Collect
Account info: your name or username, email address, and password.
Profile data: your bio, profile photo, and anything else you choose to share publicly.
Video uploads: the sign language videos and posts you share. These are stored so other users can view them.
Messages: your DMs and video messages. These are private between you and the people you send them to.
Usage data: basic info about how you use the app (to fix bugs and improve things), plus analytics from Microsoft Clarity — pages visited, taps and scrolling — which may set cookies and shows us how the app is used so we can make it better.
2. How We Use Your Data
To run the platform (show your posts, deliver your messages).
To keep the community safe (moderation, abuse prevention).
To communicate with you about your account.
We do not sell your personal data. We don't share it with advertisers.
3. Your Videos
When you upload a video:
It's visible according to your privacy settings (public or followers-only).
We store it on our backend so it can be streamed to other users.
You can delete it at any time — we'll remove it from public view.
We won't use your videos in advertising or promotions without your permission.
4. Your DMs Are Private
Direct messages (text and video) are only visible to you and the people you send them to. We don't read your DMs unless someone reports a message for violating our guidelines — and even then, we only look at what's reported.
5. Where Your Data Lives
Deaf Pulse uses Supabase as its backend. Your account data, posts, and messages are stored on Supabase's secure servers. Supabase processes data on our behalf under its own privacy commitments.
6. Kids and COPPA
Deaf Pulse is for users 13 and older. We don't knowingly collect data from children under 13. If we learn that someone under 13 has created an account, we'll delete it.
Parents: if you believe your child under 13 has signed up, contact us and we'll remove the account promptly.
7. Data Retention
We keep your data while your account is active.
If you delete your account, we remove your profile, posts, and videos within 30 days.
DMs are deleted when both participants delete the conversation, or when accounts are deleted.
We may keep anonymized usage stats (no names attached) to understand how the platform is doing.
We use HTTPS encryption, secure password storage, and access controls. No system is perfect, but we take your privacy seriously — especially on a platform built for our community.
10. Changes
If we change this policy significantly, we'll notify you on the platform. Continued use means you accept the changes.
