Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

At Kayefi Versus, your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our platform.

1. Information We Collect

  • Account Information: When you register, we collect basic information such as your username and email address.

  • User-Generated Content: We collect the data you explicitly submit to the platform, including the battles you create, the images you upload, and the arguments you post.

  • Voting Data & IP Addresses: To ensure the integrity of our voting system and prevent spam, we temporarily collect and hash your IP address. We also utilize local browser storage (LocalStorage/Cookies) to remember which battles you have voted on.

  • Usage Data: We may collect non-identifiable data regarding how you navigate the site (e.g., pages visited, browser type) to help us optimize the platform.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the Kayefi Versus platform.

  • To secure our voting system against bots and manipulation.

  • To send you automated email notifications (e.g., when a battle you submitted is approved and published).

  • To moderate content and enforce our Terms of Service.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

Kayefi Versus uses minimal cookies and HTML5 LocalStorage primarily for core functionality—specifically, to track your voting history on your device so you do not accidentally vote twice on the same debate. Third-party advertisers (such as Google AdSense) may also use cookies to serve relevant ads based on your browsing history.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share generic, aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification. We may also disclose data if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of Kayefi Versus and its users.

5. Third-Party Services

Our site may contain links to third-party websites or utilize third-party services (like Google Analytics or AdSense). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party sites.

6. Data Security

We implement a variety of enterprise-grade security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information, including REST API hardening and strict data sanitization. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data stored on our platform. To exercise these rights, please contact our support team.
