Nodexa Privacy Policy

Nodexa ("we", "us", "the app") is a social and local marketplace application. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By creating an account or using Nodexa, you agree to this policy.

1. Information We Collect

• Account & profile: your name, username, email address, password (stored only in encrypted/hashed form), and optionally a phone number, profile photo, bio, and website.
• Content you create: posts, reels (Scrolls), videos, stories, comments, chat messages, voice messages, and files you choose to share.
• Camera, microphone & photos: accessed only when you choose to take a photo or video, record a voice message, make a voice or video call, or upload from your library.
• Usage & activity: interactions such as likes, follows, views, watch history and saved items, used to run features and improve your experience.
• Device & notifications: a push-notification token so we can deliver alerts for messages and calls.
• Location (optional): a general location or area you provide, used only to show nearby listings in the local marketplace. We do not track precise background location.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage your account and profile.
• To deliver core features: feed, reels, content videos, stories, chat, and voice/video calls.
• To send notifications you have enabled (messages, calls, activity).
• To show relevant content and local marketplace listings.
• To keep Nodexa safe, prevent abuse, and enforce our rules.

3. Sharing & Service Providers

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with trusted service providers that help us operate the app, and only as needed to provide the service:

• Cloudinary — image and file storage.
• Bunny.net — video hosting and delivery.
• Firebase (Google) — push notifications.
• MongoDB Atlas — secure database storage.
• Agora — group voice and video calls.
• Vercel & Render — application hosting.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users.

4. Data Retention & Security

We keep your information for as long as your account is active. Passwords are stored in hashed form, connections use standard encryption (HTTPS), and access to data is restricted. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.

5. Your Rights & Choices

• Edit your profile and privacy settings at any time within the app.
• Control who can see your content using public/private account settings.
• Block users and report content or accounts.
• Request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at the email below.

6. Children's Privacy

Nodexa is not intended for children under 13 years of age (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will remove it.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Significant changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
