Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 27, 2026. This policy describes how Qollaby collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our mobile application and related services.

Introduction

Qollaby ("we", "our", or "us") operates the Qollaby mobile application. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using Qollaby you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information we collect

Account information

When you create an account we collect your name, email address, and profile photo. You may optionally provide a location, bio, and business profile details.

User-generated content

Posts, exchange listings, event details, messages, images, and videos you create or upload are stored to provide the service.

Usage and device data

We may collect device type, operating system, app version, and general interaction data to improve performance and fix issues.

Location

If you grant permission, we collect your approximate location to show locally relevant posts and events. You can revoke this permission at any time in your device settings.

Push notification tokens

We store device push tokens to deliver notifications. You can disable notifications in your device settings.

How we use your information

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Qollaby platform.
  • Display posts, events, exchange listings, and sponsor ads relevant to your location and interests.
  • Enable messaging and social features such as following and friends.
  • Process subscription payments and manage sponsor ad campaigns.
  • Send service-related notifications (e.g. new messages, bid updates).
  • Enforce our Rules of Engagement and respond to reports.
  • Analyze aggregated usage trends to improve the product.

Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: Cloud hosting (Appwrite), payment processing (Stripe, RevenueCat), and push notification delivery operate on our behalf under contractual obligations.
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental request.
  • Safety: We may share information when we believe it is necessary to prevent harm, fraud, or violations of our Rules of Engagement.
  • With your consent: We may share information when you explicitly direct us to do so.

Data retention

We retain your account data and content for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as resolving disputes.

Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), secure authentication, and access controls to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's privacy

Qollaby is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Request deletion of your data.
  • Withdraw consent for data processing where consent is the legal basis.
  • Object to certain types of processing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at qollaby@gmail.com.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify users through the app or by updating the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of Qollaby after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
