Privacy Policy

Last Updated: Oct 06 2025 

Omni Verse is a basic social media application where users can share and engage with content. Users can post images, videos, and tweets, as well as like, comment, and subscribe to other posts and channels.

We care deeply about your privacy and the security of your personal information, and we are committed to protecting it at all times.

Personal and Sensitive Data We Collect : 

Omni Verse collects and stores certain personal and sensitive data in order to provide a secure and personalized social media experience. This includes:

• Account Information: such as your name, email address, profile photo, and password, which are required for unique identification and account creation.

• User Content: such as the posts you share (images, videos, and text), likes, comments, and subscriptions.

You have full control over your content. You may delete or remove your photos, videos, or other posts at any time from within the app. 

Data Storage and Security 

• Database: User details (such as name, email, and password) are securely stored in MongoDB.

• Media Content: Photos and videos shared by users are stored in Cloudinary.

• Hosting: Our backend services are deployed on Render.

Other than these trusted service platforms, we do not share, sell, or transfer your personal data with any third parties.

We are committed to protecting your personal information and maintaining the privacy and security of your data.

How We Use Personal Data:

 App Functionality

• We use your account details (name, email, photo, and password) to create and maintain your unique user profile.

• This allows you to upload and manage your images, videos, and thoughts, as well as interact with other users’ posts through likes, comments, and subscriptions.

• Without this information, core features of the app would not function properly.
  
  

Personalization of Content

• We may use your activity (such as likes, comments, and subscriptions) to show you more relevant posts and recommendations tailored to your interests.
  
  

Analytics

• We collect limited usage data to understand how users interact with the app.

• This helps us improve performance, user experience, and add new features that matter to you.
  
  

Fraud Prevention and Security

• Your sensitive information (such as passwords) is securely hashed and never stored in plain text.

• We use this data to protect against unauthorized access, spam, and fraudulent activity.
  
  

Communication from Developers

• We may use your registered email to send important updates, security alerts, or notifications related to your account or app usage.

• We do not use your email for spam or irrelevant promotions.

  • Name, email, and password (for account creation and login).

  • Profile photo (optional, for personalization).

  • Posts you share (images, videos, and text content).

• What We Do Not Collect:

  • We do not access your contacts, location, messages, or any unrelated data on your device.

  • In the privacy policy, available both in-app and via our website/Play Store listing.

Omni Verse gives users full control over their personal data and accounts.

Protecting Children’s Data:

Omni Verse is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal or sensitive information from children.

Third Parties We Share Data With:

Omni Verse does not sell or rent your personal information to advertisers or unrelated third parties. However, we do rely on trusted third-party service providers to operate and improve our platform. These providers may process user data strictly for the purposes of delivering core app functionality:

1. MongoDB – We use MongoDB to securely store account details such as your name, email, and hashed password.

2. Cloudinary – We use Cloudinary to store and manage the media content (images and videos) you upload and share within the app.

3. Render – Our backend services are hosted on Render, which processes requests to enable secure communication between the app and our servers.

These third parties have access to limited user data only as necessary to perform their functions and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.

We do not share your data with any advertisers, marketing networks, or unrelated analytics providers.

Keeping Your Personal Data Safe:

We are committed to protecting your personal information. Omni Verse uses appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, misuse, or unnecessary retention of your data. Please note, however, that no system can ever be 100% secure.

We have implemented the following measures to keep your information safe:

• Encryption & Hashing: Sensitive data, such as passwords, are securely hashed and never stored in plain text.

• Secure Storage: User details are stored in MongoDB, and uploaded media (photos and videos) are stored in Cloudinary, both of which provide industry-standard security practices.

• Access Controls: Only authorized systems and services (such as our backend hosted on Render) are permitted to access your data.

• Data Retention Policies: We do not retain personal data longer than necessary for providing the service. Users can request deletion of their data at any time.
  
  

To help protect your own account, we encourage you to:

• Use a strong, unique password for Omni Verse.

• Never share your password with anyone.

• Log out if you are using Omni Verse on a shared device.

• Review your shared posts and account activity regularly.

If other individuals gain access to your Omni Verse account, they may also access your personal data and content. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials safe and controlling who has access to your account.

Data Retention and Deletion :

We retain your personal information only for as long as it is necessary to provide Omni Verse services and for legitimate and essential business purposes, such as maintaining app functionality, ensuring security, and complying with legal obligations.

• Retention

  • Account details (such as your name, email, and hashed password) are retained while your account is active.

  • User-generated content (such as posts, images, videos, likes, and comments) remains available until you delete it or your account is deleted.

  • Some data may be retained for a limited time after deletion for fraud prevention, security, or legal compliance purposes.
