Privacy Policy

Effective August 4, 2026

This page is maintained by Portal to answer common privacy questions about Portal. It describes the personal information we collect, how we use and protect it, and the rights you have. If you have questions, contact us at joshkoepke@theapolloeffect.io.

1. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, username, email address, profile photo, bio, location, social handles, smart links, projects, and contact details. We also collect usage information automatically when you visit or interact with a Portal, including page views, link clicks, approximate location, device type, and referrer data.

2. How we use your information

We use your information to provide and improve Portal, personalize your profile, measure analytics for profile owners, prevent abuse, and communicate with you about your account. We do not sell your personal information.

3. Sharing your information

We share information only as needed to operate the service: with our hosting and authentication providers, and when required by law. Public profile information is visible to anyone who visits your public Portal URL. You control what appears on your public profile through your settings.

4. Cookies and tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how people use Portal. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, but some features may not work correctly.

5. Data retention

We keep your account information for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account and associated data from your settings. Some information may remain in backups for a limited period after deletion.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information. To make a request, email us at the address above.

7. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, including encryption in transit and access controls. No online service is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's privacy

Portal is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version with a new effective date and, for material changes, notify you through the app or by email.
