Privacy Policy

Personal Information

When you register for an account via X (formerly Twitter), we collect:

• Your X/Twitter username and handle (e.g., @username)
• Your display name from your X profile
• Your email address associated with your X account
• A link to your X profile picture (we store the URL reference only, not the actual image file)

We use Better-Auth with X/Twitter OAuth for authentication, which securely manages your login credentials.

Content and Interactions

We collect the content you post, including help requests, replies, citations, and chat messages. We also track interactions like likes, comments, shares, and community participation.

Usage Data

We automatically collect information about your device, browser, IP address, and how you interact with our platform. This helps us improve user experience and maintain service quality.

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, remember preferences, and analyze site traffic. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings.

We use your information to provide, maintain, and improve our social media platform, including content delivery, user authentication, and community features.

Authentication (Better-Auth & X/Twitter OAuth)

We use Better-Auth for user authentication and account management, integrated with X (Twitter) OAuth. When you sign in with X, we receive your basic profile information (username, display name, email, and profile picture URL) directly from X's secure OAuth service. Your X login credentials are never shared with or stored by Sprynge.
