Our Commitment: Vikko values your privacy. This policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using Vikko, you agree to the practices outlined here. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

1. Information We Collect

We gather only the data necessary to deliver and improve Vikko. This includes:

Registration Data

When you sign up, we collect your username, email address, and an optional profile photo. You may add further details later.

Content You Share

Posts, messages, images, videos, and comments you upload are stored so they can be shown to you and to others you authorize.

Usage Information

We record how you interact with Vikko, such as features accessed, session duration, and actions taken, to refine the experience.

We may also collect:

  • Device Details: Device model, operating system version, unique identifiers, IP address, and network provider, used for diagnostics and performance tuning.
  • Location: With your permission, we may derive your approximate city or country from your IP address. We do not track precise GPS coordinates without explicit consent.
  • Communications: Records of your correspondence with our support team, including questions and feedback.
  • Payment Data: For premium features, payment processing is handled by secure third-party providers. We do not retain complete card numbers.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data is used for defined purposes:

Operating the Service

Creating your account, verifying identity, displaying your profile, and enabling messaging and content sharing.

Personalization

Recommending relevant content, suggesting connections, and tailoring the interface to your preferences.

Safety and Security

Identifying spam, abuse, fraud, and policy violations. We analyze patterns to safeguard the community.

Other uses include:

  • Communication: Sending service updates, security alerts, and support replies. Promotional emails are sent only if you opt in.
  • Improvement: Studying trends, resolving bugs, and developing new features based on aggregated insights.
  • Legal Compliance: Responding to lawful requests from authorities and fulfilling regulatory obligations.
No Data Selling: Vikko does not sell your personal information. When we share data, it is only in the limited circumstances described below, always with robust protections in place.

3. When We Share Information

We treat your data as confidential and disclose it only in these situations:

  • With Your Consent: If you link a third-party service and authorize sharing, we will transmit only what is required.
  • Service Providers: Trusted vendors that assist in operations such as hosting, analytics, and customer support process data under strict contractual safeguards.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when compelled by court order or when necessary to protect rights and safety.
  • Business Changes: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, user data may be transferred, provided that equivalent protections remain in effect.
  • Emergency Situations: To prevent serious harm to individuals or the public, we may share relevant data with appropriate authorities.

We always share the minimum necessary and require partners to adhere to rigorous privacy standards.

4. Third-Party Services and SDKs

Vikko may integrate with third-party services, application programming interfaces (APIs), and software development kits (SDKs) to provide certain features, analytics, advertising, or payment processing. These third parties may collect or receive data about your use of the service under their own privacy policies and terms.

We are not responsible for the practices, content, or policies of any third-party services. Your use of such services is governed by their respective terms. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party service before engaging with it through Vikko.

5. Data Protection

We employ industry-standard security measures:

Encryption

TLS secures data in transit; AES protects data at rest.

Access Controls

Only authorized staff may access user data, and solely when required.

Regular Audits

We routinely test systems for vulnerabilities and perform security reviews.

No online platform is entirely risk-free. We do not claim absolute security but strive diligently to reduce risks. Should a breach occur, we will notify affected users and regulators as required by applicable law.

6. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may exercise the following rights:

View and Edit

Update your account information at any time through Settings.

Export Data

Request a copy of your information in a portable, machine-readable format.

Delete Account

Request removal of your data, subject to applicable legal retention requirements.

Additional options:

  • Opt Out: Unsubscribe from promotional messages at any time. Adjust app permissions in your device settings.
  • Restrict Processing: Ask us to limit how we process your data in certain circumstances.
  • Object: Contest specific types of processing, such as direct marketing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the email address above. We will respond within the time frame mandated by law and may request identity verification beforehand.

7. Data Retention

We retain your information only for as long as needed for the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law.

  • Active Accounts: Data is kept while your account remains active.
  • After Deletion: We remove or anonymize your data within a reasonable period, except where we are legally or securely obligated to retain it.
  • Backups: Residual copies may persist temporarily in backup systems as part of disaster-recovery procedures.

Once data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

8. Children's Privacy

Vikko is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

Age Limit

We block registration by individuals under 18 and enforce this through verification measures.

Accidental Collection

If we discover that we have obtained data from a minor, we delete it promptly, typically within 24 hours.

Parental Help

Parents or guardians who believe their child has shared data with us should contact us immediately.

Zero Tolerance: Vikko maintains a zero tolerance policy against Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (CSEA). Any content or activity related to CSAM, grooming, or sexual solicitation of minors results in immediate account termination and mandatory reporting to law enforcement.

9. Content Moderation and Reporting

Vikko uses a combination of automated filters, artificial intelligence analysis, and human reviewers to prevent harmful content from reaching users. We monitor for violations of our community guidelines, including harassment, hate speech, spam, and child safety concerns.

Users can report suspicious content or behavior using the in-app "Report" feature on any profile, post, or message. Our dedicated safety team reviews all reports promptly and takes appropriate action based on severity. CSEA-related reports receive our highest priority and are investigated within 24 hours.

10. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including personal information, to the United States and process it there.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

11. Updates to This Policy

We may amend this policy periodically. When we make material changes, we will notify you through:

  • An in-app notification or banner
  • An email to your registered address
  • Updating the "last revised" date displayed at the top

Your continued use of Vikko after changes take effect signifies acceptance of the revised policy. If you do not agree, you should cease using the app and delete your account. We will not diminish your rights without your explicit consent.
