Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide directly to us when you create an account, complete your profile, communicate through the app, and use community features.

This may include:

• Full name
• Email address
• Password and authentication credentials processed through our authentication provider
• Internal user ID
• Membership role and verification status
• Join date

If you choose to complete your profile, we may also collect:

• Bio
• Selected profile picture or a reference to it
• Target monthly income
• Current earnings
• Top skills

If you use community features, we collect the content and activity you choose to submit, including:

• Posts
• Comments
• Likes
• Direct messages
• Announcement and event participation or interest
• Support ticket details such as subject, category, description, priority, status, and responses

We also store authentication session information locally on your device so you can stay signed in.

If you choose to change your profile picture, Calacatta may request access to your device's photo library. This permission is requested only so you can select a profile picture for your member profile. You do not need to grant photo access to use the rest of the app.

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage user accounts
• Authenticate users and maintain sign-in sessions
• Verify membership and manage access to members-only features
• Provide profile, feed, messaging, announcement, event, and support features
• Display content and member activity within the app
• Respond to support requests and administer the community
• Maintain security, prevent misuse, and enforce our terms
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information with advertisers, analytics providers, or data brokers.

We may share information in the following limited ways:

We keep personal information for as long as your account is active or as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, operate the community, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal obligations.

Community content, messages, profile information, and support records may remain in our systems until they are deleted, your account is deleted, or retention is no longer necessary.

You can request deletion of your account through the app.

When your account is deleted, we will delete or de-activate your account information and associated data linked to that account, including your profile and related user activity, subject to legal requirements, backup retention, fraud prevention, and technical limitations.

Some residual copies may remain temporarily in backups or logs for a limited period.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You can review and update certain profile information within the app.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws, including the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. You may also have the right to object to or restrict certain processing.

California residents may have specific privacy rights under California law. Calacatta does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Calacatta uses cloud-based infrastructure. If you use the app from a country other than the country where our hosting or service providers operate, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in another country where privacy laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Calacatta is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will delete that information.

If applicable law in your jurisdiction sets a higher age threshold for digital consent, we will comply with that law.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and may provide additional notice where required by law.
