Tina - Privacy Agreement

1. Introduction

Welcome to Tina (“we”, “our”, or “us”).
We provide a social networking service (the “Services”) through our iOS mobile application and related websites.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect your information when you use Tina.

By using Tina, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our Services.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, within the app. Your continued use of the Services after any changes means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.

2. Definitions

Personal Information
Information that identifies or can be used to identify you directly or indirectly. For example: nickname, device identifiers, limited contact information (if you choose to provide it), profile photo, and any other information you choose to provide.

Anonymous / Aggregated Information
Information that does not identify you individually. For example, statistics about how many users use a particular feature, or how often certain content is viewed.

Service Providers
Third-party companies that process data on our behalf to help us provide the Services, such as cloud hosting, analytics, customer support, and payment processing. They may only use your information as instructed by us and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Partners
Trusted partners with whom we may cooperate to provide certain functions, content, or offers within Tina. We only share information when necessary and in accordance with applicable laws and this Privacy Policy.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information You Provide

Quick Login and Profile Information

Tina does not require a traditional user account with email and password. Instead, we may provide quick login or similar lightweight access methods (for example, guest access, one-tap login methods, or Apple/other platform-based sign-in where applicable).

Depending on the quick login method you choose, we may collect:

• A system-generated user ID
  
  

• A nickname or display name (you set or we generate)
  
  

• Optional profile details you choose to add (such as avatar, brief bio, interests)
  
  

If a third-party login method is used in the future (e.g., “Sign in with Apple”), we will only receive the limited information that you authorize that third party to share with us (such as an anonymous identifier and, optionally, name or email as provided by the platform).

This information is used to recognize you in the app, maintain your in-app profile and content, and provide the basic social features.

Profile and Content Information

You may create a profile and share content within Tina, including:

• Profile photo or avatar, bio, interests, preferences
  
  

• Text posts, images, videos, comments, likes, and other content you upload
  
  

• Information about when content was created
  
  

• If you enable location features, approximate location information attached to your posts (e.g., city/region)
  
  

Please remember that content you choose to share publicly can be viewed by other users.

Communication Information

When you communicate within Tina, such as:

• Direct messages
  
  

• Group chats
  
  

• Comments and replies
  
  

we may process the content of your communications, as well as approximate information such as sender, recipient, and the date and time, in order to:

• Deliver messages and enable normal use of the Services
  
  

• Maintain the security and integrity of the platform
  
  

• Prevent spam, abuse, or other violations of our Terms of Service
  
  

Payment Information (if applicable)

If you make purchases or subscribe to premium services within Tina, we (or our payment processors) may collect:

• Payment method details (such as credit/debit card information)
  
  

• Billing address
  
  

• Transaction-related information (such as purchase items, amount, date)
  
  

For security, your payment information is typically processed and stored by third-party payment processors compliant with applicable industry standards (such as PCI-DSS). We do not store full payment card numbers on our own servers.

3.2 Information We Collect Automatically

• Provide location-based features (such as showing nearby content or recommendations, if offered)
  
  

You can control location permissions at any time in your iOS device settings. If you disable location access, some location-related features may not be available, but the core Services will remain usable.

When we no longer need personal information, we will delete, anonymize, or securely store it in accordance with applicable laws.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

7.1 Access and Update

Because Tina uses quick login and does not require a full traditional account, most of your identifiable information is limited to what you set in your profile and content.

You may access and update this information directly within the app, for example:

• Edit your profile (nickname, avatar, bio, interests)
  
  

• Manage your posts and other content you have created
  
  

If you believe any information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may also contact us using the contact details below.

7.2 Delete Your Data / Reset Your Identity

You may request to:

• Delete certain content you have posted; or
  
  

• Delete or reset your in-app identity (where technically feasible);
  
  

by using the available functions in the app (if provided) or by contacting us.

After deletion or reset:

• We will delete or anonymize your personal information, except where we are legally required or have a legitimate interest to retain certain information (for example, for fraud prevention or to comply with legal obligations).
  
  

• Some content or information that has already been shared with others (such as messages or posts already viewed or saved by other users) may continue to be visible, as it may be controlled by those users.

If you receive marketing notifications from us (for example, in-app messages or emails), you can:

• Change your notification settings in the app (if available), or
  
  

• Follow the unsubscribe instructions in the message, or

Please note that even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send you service-related messages (for example, technical or security notices).

7.4 Object or Restrict Processing (Where Applicable)

In some regions, you may have the right to:

• Object to certain types of processing (for example, direct marketing)

If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us. We will respond in accordance with applicable laws.

Children under 13
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information as soon as reasonably possible.

10. Third-Party Links and Services

The Services may contain links to websites, apps, or services operated by third parties.
If you choose to use these third-party services, any information you provide will be subject to their own privacy policies, not this one.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing them with any personal information.

11. Apple App Store Specific Disclosures

Because Tina is distributed through the Apple App Store, the following additional disclosures apply:

• We comply with Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines and applicable platform policies regarding privacy and data use.
  
  

• We do not use your personal information in a way that is unrelated to the core functionality of the app without your consent.
  
  

• We do not track you across other companies’ apps and websites for advertising or marketing purposes in ways that would require the “Allow Apps to Request to Track” permission, unless we explicitly request and obtain your consent through Apple’s tracking transparency framework (if applicable in the future).
  
  

• Any data that is collected is used only for:
  
  
  

  • Providing and improving the core features of Tina
    
    

  • Security and fraud prevention
    
    

  • Analytics and performance (in aggregated or non-identifying form where possible)
    
    

• If we integrate any third-party SDKs (for example, for analytics or crash reporting), we require those third parties to handle data in compliance with applicable laws, this Privacy Policy, and Apple’s requirements.
  
  

The data practices described in this Privacy Policy are intended to align with the data types and purposes disclosed in the App Store “App Privacy” section for Tina.
