At Kachinpedia, we believe in transparency. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

1. Information we collect

  • Account information: When you sign in through Google, we receive your email address, name, and profile picture to create your account.
  • User content: Articles, comments, and bookmarks you create on the platform.
  • Usage data: Basic analytics, such as page views, used to understand popular content.
  • Admin conversations: If you message the admin team, we store the name and location you provide and the private conversation so the team can respond and keep a record of the request.

  • Credit public contributions to the appropriate profile.
  • Maintain and improve Kachinpedia.

3. Data ownership and sharing

Kachinpedia does not sell personal data to advertisers or third parties.
