KuratiqPrivacy policy
- You use Kuratiq without an email address or phone number. The app creates an anonymous account on first launch.
- Text you scan is analysed on your phone and never uploaded.
- Saved items, collections, notes, ratings, points and settings stay on your device.
- Our server stores your follows, likes, votes, questions and reports. Other people see only totals, never who liked or followed.
- No advertising, no tracking across apps, no selling of data. Servers are in the EU.
- You can export or delete your data in the app at any time.

| Saved items, collections, notes, ratings, points, nickname, interests, language and theme | Your phone only | The features you use | Not sent to us |
| Anonymous account ID and the date it was created | Our server | Linking your actions to you so you can delete them later | Art. 6(1)(b), providing the service |
| Follows, likes and question votes | Our server | Showing totals and your own state across sessions | Art. 6(1)(b) |

3. Who receives data
- Supabase Inc. hosts our database and account service in the EU (AWS region Frankfurt, Germany) as our processor under a data processing agreement. Supabase is based in the USA; where its staff can access data from outside the EU, the transfer is covered by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
- REDO (redo.ua, Ukraine) serves kuratiq.com and keeps request logs as our processor.
- Apple and Google distribute the app. Downloading it is governed by their own privacy policies.
- Authorities, only where the law requires us to share data.
Everyone who opens a creator’s board can read the questions on it and the name you chose to show. Nobody but you can see which creators you follow, which posts you liked or which questions you voted for.
4. How long we keep data
- Data on your phone stays until you use Delete all my data or remove the app.
- Your account, follows, likes and votes are kept until you delete your account.
- When you delete your account, questions you asked stay on the board as “anonymous” with no link to you, so creators’ answers keep their context.
- Reports are kept, without any link to you after account deletion, as long as needed to handle the notice and document the decision.
- Server logs are kept for a short period set by our hosting providers and then deleted.
5. Your rights
You have the right to access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21).
In the app, Profile → Privacy & data → Export my data copies everything on your phone and on our server as JSON, and Delete all my data erases both. See Delete your account for details. You can also write to privacy@kuratiq.com.
You may complain to a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the EU country where you live or work. As we have no establishment in the EU, there is no lead authority, so the authority of your EU country handles your complaint. In Ukraine, data protection is supervised by the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights.
6. Children
Kuratiq is meant for people aged 16 and over. We do not knowingly process data of younger children.
7. This website
kuratiq.com sets no cookies and loads no third-party resources: fonts and images are served from our own host. The language you pick is remembered in your browser’s local storage and never sent to us.
8. Changes
We will update this page when the app changes how it uses data, and announce important changes in the app.
