This Privacy Policy explains how Ringa handles personal information when you use the Ringa social media platform, including the Feed, Vidz, Stories, profiles, comments, reactions, messages, groups, store features and account tools.
1. Information Ringa may collect
Depending on the features you use, Ringa may process account details such as username, display name, email address and profile information; photos, videos, Stories, comments and messages you choose to provide; follows, reactions, saves and other interactions; moderation reports and violation history; device, browser, IP, security and diagnostic information; support communications; and transaction or shopping information where commerce features are used.
2. How Ringa uses information
Ringa uses information to provide and personalise the service, publish and deliver user-selected content, operate messaging and social features, process uploads and media playback, secure accounts, prevent abuse and fraud, investigate reports, enforce the Community Guidelines, provide support, analyse service performance, comply with legal obligations and develop future creator, advertising and commerce features.
3. Public and shared content
Information you publish to public Ringa surfaces may be visible to other people and may be shared, copied or captured by others. Direct messages are intended for their participants, but may be processed by Ringa as necessary to deliver, secure and moderate the service.
4. Service providers and processing partners
Ringa may use trusted service providers for website hosting, content delivery, video processing and streaming, email, security, analytics, payments, commerce, advertising and technical operations. These providers may process information on Ringa’s behalf or under their own privacy terms where applicable.
5. Cookies, local storage and similar technologies
Ringa and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels and similar technologies for sign-in, security, preferences, analytics, content delivery, advertising and measurement. You can control some of these technologies through your browser, device and consent settings.
6. Advertising and Google advertising services
Ringa may display ads from Ringa, direct advertisers and third-party advertising providers, including Google services if enabled. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to Ringa or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to Ringa and/or other sites on the Internet. Users can manage personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings. Where other advertising vendors or networks are used, Ringa may update this policy or its consent controls to identify them and provide relevant opt-out information. Where consent is required, Ringa will use appropriate consent controls before personalised advertising or similar storage is used.
7. Data retention
Ringa retains information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, maintain security, resolve disputes, meet legal or accounting obligations and enforce platform rules. Retention periods may differ by data type. Deleted or removed information may remain temporarily in backups or in limited records required for safety, fraud prevention or legal compliance.
8. Your choices and rights
Ringa provides account settings that may allow you to update information, manage preferences, download a copy of key account data and request or initiate account deletion. Depending on applicable law, you may also have rights to request access, correction, objection, restriction or deletion of personal information. Ringa may need to verify a request before acting on it.
9. Account data download and deletion
Logged-in users can use Ringa Settings to download account data made available by the platform. Eligible users can also initiate account deletion after verification. Some limited information may be retained where reasonably necessary for security, legal obligations, fraud prevention, disputes or moderation integrity.
10. Security
Ringa uses technical and organisational safeguards intended to protect information, but no online service can guarantee absolute security. Users should use strong passwords and protect access to their devices and accounts.
11. International processing
Some technology, hosting, content delivery, advertising or other service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Ringa will use reasonable measures appropriate to the service and applicable law when such processing occurs.
12. Children and younger users
Ringa is a general social media platform. Ringa may apply age-related rules or protections where required by law, platform policy or a particular feature. Advertising and data practices for known younger users will be handled in accordance with applicable requirements and the policies of advertising providers used by Ringa.
13. Changes to this policy
Ringa may update this Privacy Policy as the service and its legal or advertising requirements change. The updated date at the top of this page will be changed when this policy is revised.
