Privacy Policy

Elytic is suggested for users aged 17 and above. If you are under the age suggested for your region you should use the service only with permission and supervision from a parent or legal guardian where required by applicable law.

We may collect information that you provide directly such as your name, username, email address, profile information, and content you voluntarily share publicly within the service. We may also collect usage and technical data automatically such as device identifiers, app usage logs, IP address, crash reports, and diagnostic information used to operate and improve Elytic.

Private messages and direct messages are not viewed or monitored by Elytic in the normal course of business. We do not use private message content for analytics, advertising, or product improvement.

Access to private messages may occur only when strictly required by applicable law or to comply with a valid legal process.

We use your information to provide, operate, and improve Elytic; communicate with you; maintain safety and security; prevent abuse; and comply with legal obligations.

We share only the information that is necessary with trusted service providers who help us operate Elytic such as authentication, hosting, analytics, and notifications. These may include companies such as Google, Apple, and Meta depending on features you use. We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may also share information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Elytic, users, or others.

Additional data sharing beyond what is necessary for core functionality happens only if you give consent. Where available, this can be enabled or disabled at any time in your in-app settings. Your choice applies going forward from the time you change it.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or misuse. No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we work to safeguard data proportional to its sensitivity.

We retain personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law.

If you request deletion of your account or data we generally process the request within up to 7 days. Certain data may be retained in secure backup or archival systems for up to 30 days only where necessary to comply with law, prevent fraud, or resolve disputes — after which it is permanently deleted or anonymized.

Depending on your location you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal data. You can exercise many of these controls directly in app settings or by contacting us.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from users below the age at which parental consent is legally required. If you believe that a minor has provided personal data to us without required consent please contact us and we will address the issue including deletion where appropriate.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version becomes effective when posted unless otherwise stated. Continued use of Elytic after changes means you acknowledge the updated Policy.

If you have questions, requests, or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact us at elytic@icyarcanine.com.
