Privacy Policy

Last updated September 28, 2026

azzit is an app for small groups ("azzits") where people post, chat and plan events together. It is run by Orbitstudio ("we", "us"). Using azzit also means agreeing to our Terms of Use. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. azzit is for people 18 and older.

What we collect

• Account details: your email address, password (stored only as a secure hash), name, @ID, and optional profile photo, intro and social links. If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your email and name from them.
• What you create: azzits you make, posts, comments, polls, events, reactions, bookmarks, chat messages, and the photos you add to them.
• Country: when you sign up we work out your country from your internet (IP) address, on our own server. We keep only the country, not the IP address or your precise location.
• Device token: if you allow notifications, a token that lets us send push notifications to your phone.
• Reports: if you report content or a person, the report and its reason.

We do not collect your contacts, precise location, browsing history or health or financial information. We do not use advertising or analytics trackers, and we do not sell your data.

How we use it

• To run azzit: sign you in, show your content to the people it's meant for, deliver messages and notifications, and send sign-up and password-reset codes by email.
• To show azzits from your country first in Explore.
• To keep azzit safe: handle reports, enforce blocks, and stop abuse and spam. When something is reported we keep a copy of it with the report, and an AI model helps us judge how serious it is; a person on our team makes the final decision. Breaking our Terms can lead to removal, a suspension or a permanent ban.

Who can see what

• Posts and comments in a public azzit can be read by anyone signed in to azzit. Everything in approval-only and private azzits, and all chats and events, is visible only to their members.
• Your email address is never shown to other people.
• Your social links are shown only to your friends, unless you make them public.
• People you block can't see your content, and you won't see theirs.

Services we use

We share data only with providers that help us run azzit, and only for that purpose:

• MongoDB Atlas (database, Singapore region) and our cloud server host, which store the service's data.
• Cloudinary, which stores and delivers photos. Location data is removed from photos when they are uploaded.
• Resend, which sends our emails.
• Google (Gemini API), which reviews reported content only (the reported item and the report reason, never your other data) to suggest how serious it is.
• Google Firebase Cloud Messaging and Apple Push Notification service, which deliver notifications.
• Apple and Google, if you choose to sign in with them.
• GIPHY and KLIPY: when you search for GIFs or memes, your search words go to them to find results.

We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect people's safety.

How long we keep it

We keep your information while your account is open. When you delete your account (Settings → Delete account), we delete your profile and what you posted, commented, sent and uploaded; azzits you own pass to another member, or are deleted if nobody else is in them. Photos that were uploaded but never used are deleted within about a day. Reports, including the copy of the reported item, are kept as a safety record. If an account is permanently banned, we keep a one-way hash of its email and sign-in IDs (not the email itself) so it can't sign up again.

Your choices

• Edit your profile, social links and who can see them in Settings.
• Turn notifications off in your phone's settings or per azzit.
• Delete your account at any time in the app.
• Email us to ask for a copy of your data or to correct or delete it.

Security

Connections to azzit are encrypted, passwords are hashed, and access to data is limited to what each feature needs. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date above, and tell you in the app for important changes.
