Last updated: March 2026  ·  Contact: support@cobuntu.com

At Cobuntu, we believe that communities are built on trust. This Privacy Policy explains in clear, simple language how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our platform.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect the information necessary to provide you with a great platform experience, process your transactions securely, and help you connect with your communities.

Account Information

• Your name, email address, profile image, and username
• Secure login credentials (we never store your password in plain text) or secure login tokens if you choose to sign in with Google

Community & Social Data

• The communities you join, create, or manage
• Your posts, comments, reactions, and interactions within those communities
• Events you RSVP to or attend
• Connections you make with other members

Payment & Transaction Information

• Your purchase history (digital products, event tickets, subscriptions)
• If you are a seller or community leader, the financial details necessary to process your payouts (handled securely via Stripe)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to make Cobuntu work for you. Specifically, we use it to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the platform's features
• Process your purchases and ensure sellers get paid
• Send you important notifications (like purchase receipts, event reminders, or community updates)
• Keep the platform safe by preventing fraud and unauthorized access
• Understand how people use Cobuntu so we can build better tools for community leaders

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal data to advertisers or data brokers. We only share your information in the following specific situations:

With Community Leaders

When you join a community, buy a product, or register for an event, the leaders of that community will have access to basic information about you (like your name, email, and purchase details) so they can deliver the service or event you requested.

With Trusted Service Providers

We use a small number of trusted third-party services to help run the platform:

• Stripe: To process payments securely. We do not store your full credit card numbers on our servers.
• Google: For secure sign-in and optional calendar syncing.
• Resend: To deliver important emails like receipts and event reminders.
• Google Cloud: To securely host the platform and store files (located in the EU).

4. How We Protect Your Data

Security is a priority for us. We use industry-standard practices to keep your information safe:

• All data is hosted on secure servers in the European Union, in compliance with GDPR standards.
• All communication between your browser and our servers is encrypted.
• Your passwords are securely encrypted using modern cryptographic standards.
• When you purchase a digital product, we create a secure, permanent snapshot of the files so you never lose access to what you bought.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You own your data, and you have the right to control it. At any time, you can:

• Update your information: Edit your profile and account settings directly in the app.
• Delete your account: Request the deletion of your account and associated data.
• Manage connections: Disconnect your Google account from your settings.
• Opt out of emails: Unsubscribe from marketing or digest emails (though we will still send you essential transactional emails like purchase receipts).
• Request your data: Ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

To exercise any of these rights, simply email us at support@cobuntu.com.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as we add new features or as laws change. If we make significant changes, we will notify you by email or through a notice on the platform.
