Effective Date: December 2, 2025
The present document constitutes a comprehensive exposition of the methodological framework and procedural apparatus governing the collection, processing, and stewardship of personal data within the Aminoka platform, hereinafter designated as "the Service." Aminoka Studio, operating from its principal establishment in Paris, France, hereby assumes the role of data controller in accordance with the axioms established by the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation EU 2016/679) and cognate legislative instruments pertaining to the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data. This policy establishes the fundamental theorems upon which our data governance practices are predicated, ensuring that all operations conform to the highest standards of informational integrity and user sovereignty.
The Service necessitates the procurement of certain identifying particulars to effectuate the establishment and maintenance of user accounts. These data elements comprise, but are not necessarily circumscribed to: authentication credentials obtained through federated identity providers (specifically, the Google OAuth protocol), encompassing your designated appellation and electronic mail address; supplementary profile attributes that you may elect to furnish at your discretion, including biographical narratives and representational imagery; user-generated content manifested through posts, commentaries, communications, and multimedia artifacts; and associational metadata pertaining to community affiliations and participatory engagements within the platform ecosystem.
In the course of ordinary platform operations, certain technical parameters are inherently generated as a corollary of the computational processes requisite for service delivery. These operational artifacts, which constitute an intrinsic component of the technical infrastructure, are utilized exclusively for the preservation of session continuity, the optimization of service performance, and the maintenance of platform security protocols. Such data processing occurs in strict accordance with the principle of data minimization and serves no purpose beyond the immediate functional requirements of the Service.
The processing of personal data within the ambit of the Service derives its legitimacy from a plurality of legal bases, each operating as an independent and sufficient condition for lawful processing. The primary juridical foundation resides in contractual necessity, wherein processing operations are indispensable for the execution of our obligations as delineated in the Terms of Service. Additionally, certain processing activities find their justification in legitimate interests pursued by the controller, specifically pertaining to platform enhancement, security fortification, and the prevention of fraudulent activities. Where processing transcends these boundaries, explicit consent shall be solicited in accordance with the requirements of informed, specific, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes. Furthermore, compliance with legal obligations incumbent upon the controller constitutes an additional lawful basis for requisite processing operations.
The fundamental rationale underlying our data collection practices is twofold in its essential character, each purpose constituting an indispensable pillar upon which the integrity and utility of the Service is predicated.
Operational Necessity: The primary impetus for data collection resides in the fundamental requirement to render the application functional and serviceable to its users. Without the procurement of certain informational elements, the technical apparatus of the platform would be rendered inoperative, precluding the delivery of core functionalities including authentication mechanisms, personalized content presentation, social connectivity features, and communication channels. In this regard, data collection constitutes not a discretionary practice but rather an inherent prerequisite for the materialization of the Service's essential purpose.
Service Amelioration Through Analytics: The secondary, though equally significant, purpose pertains to the continuous refinement and enhancement of the platform experience. Through the judicious application of analytical methodologies, we endeavor to comprehend patterns of user engagement, identify areas warranting improvement, and inform the development of novel features that serve the interests of our user community. These analytical processes are conducted in aggregate and with full cognizance of privacy considerations, ensuring that individual users remain indistinguishable within the broader statistical corpus.
It is hereby proclaimed with unequivocal certainty that the protection of your personal data constitutes a sacrosanct obligation within our operational ethos. We commit ourselves unreservedly to the safeguarding of all information entrusted to our custodianship, employing robust technical measures and stringent procedural protocols to ensure its inviolability. Furthermore, and with equal emphasis, we solemnly affirm that your data shall never be commercialized, transferred, or otherwise disseminated to third parties for pecuniary gain or any purpose extraneous to the operation of the Service, absent your explicit and informed consent. This principle admits of no exception and represents an inviolable tenet of our data governance philosophy.
It is hereby affirmed with categorical certainty that the commercialization of personal data through sale to third parties constitutes an absolute prohibition within our operational paradigm. The disclosure of information to external entities occurs solely under rigorously circumscribed conditions: visibility to other platform users is inherent in the nature of publicly shared content and profile information; engagement with service providers operates under contractual arrangements that impose obligations of confidentiality and purpose limitation; compliance with legal mandates may necessitate disclosure to competent authorities; and corporate restructuring events may involve the transfer of data assets subject to equivalent protections. All such transmissions are governed by appropriate safeguards ensuring the continued protection of data subject rights.
The regulatory framework confers upon data subjects a comprehensive suite of prerogatives designed to ensure meaningful control over personal information. These rights encompass: the right of access, permitting the obtainment of confirmation and copies of processed data; the right to rectification, enabling the correction of inaccurate or incomplete information; the right to erasure, colloquially termed the "right to be forgotten," facilitating the deletion of personal data under specified conditions; the right to restriction, limiting the scope of processing operations; the right to data portability, enabling the receipt and transmission of data in structured, machine-readable formats; the right to object to processing predicated on legitimate interests; and the right to withdraw consent without prejudice to the lawfulness of prior processing.
Exercising Your Data Rights
Registered Users: To exercise any of your data rights, including access, rectification, erasure, or portability requests, please utilize the in-app support feature accessible through your account settings.

The preservation of data integrity and confidentiality constitutes a paramount concern within our operational framework. To this end, we have implemented a comprehensive array of technical and organizational measures calibrated to the nature, scope, and context of processing operations. These safeguards include, inter alia, encryption protocols for data in transit and at rest, access control mechanisms predicated on the principle of least privilege, regular security assessments and vulnerability remediation procedures, and incident response protocols designed to ensure timely detection and mitigation of potential breaches. Notwithstanding these measures, it is acknowledged that no system of electronic transmission or storage can achieve absolute impermeability to unauthorized access.

Important Notice
Data deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Once your data is deleted, you will not be able to recover your account, posts, or any associated content. If you only want to take a break, consider logging out instead of deleting your account.
Personal data shall be retained only for such duration as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless extended retention is mandated by legal obligations or justified by legitimate interests.
