Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 September 2026

Oink ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your data when you use the Oink platform. By using Oink, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Account information: When you register, we collect your email address, display name, and profile details you choose to provide (bio, username, avatar, cover photo).

Content: Posts, comments, messages, and media you upload to the platform.

Transaction data: Gift amounts, sender/recipient details, payment references, and withdrawal requests. We do not store full card details — payments are handled by our third-party payment processors.

Usage data: Pages visited, features used, interactions (likes, follows, bookmarks), device type, browser, and IP address for security purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to:

  • Operate and personalise your Oink experience
  • Process gifts and withdrawal requests
  • Send notifications about platform activity
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or Terms of Service violations
  • Improve our platform features and performance
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Gifting & Payments

All financial transactions on Oink are processed through regulated payment providers. We record gift amounts and associated metadata (sender, recipient, date, message) to maintain accurate creator earnings records and support withdrawal processing.

Anonymous gifts: When you send an anonymous gift, your identity is hidden from the recipient's public view. However, transaction metadata is retained internally for fraud prevention and legal compliance.

4. Data Sharing

We share your data only in these circumstances:

  • Service providers: Payment processors, hosting, analytics — under strict confidentiality agreements
  • Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of users
  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, with appropriate notice

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal data for advertising purposes.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Rectify inaccurate information via your Settings page
  • Delete your account and associated data (subject to legal retention requirements)
  • Restrict or object to certain processing activities
  • Data portability — request a copy of your data in a machine-readable format

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@oink.app

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account:

  • Your profile, posts, and personal details are removed within 30 days
  • Transaction records may be retained for up to 7 years for legal/financial compliance
  • Anonymised usage data may be retained indefinitely for analytics

7. Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews. No system is 100% secure — if you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately.

8. Cookies & Tracking

We use essential cookies to maintain your session and preferences. We may use analytics tools to understand platform usage. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings.

9. Children's Privacy

Oink is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we become aware that a minor has created an account, it will be removed.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Significant changes will be communicated via in-app notification or email. Continued use of Oink after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
