Information we collect
When you create an account, we collect your email address, display name, authentication details, avatar settings, and account preferences. If you use Google sign-in, we receive the basic profile information Google shares with your permission. We also process contributions such as ratings, comments, clone submissions, reports, and collection activity.
Our systems may collect technical information including IP address, browser and device details, request timestamps, security events, referral information, and basic usage data. Uploaded images are stored with technical metadata needed to deliver and moderate them.
How we use information
We use information to provide and secure your account, publish approved community contributions, personalize collections, prevent abuse, moderate content, improve search and catalog quality, communicate important service updates, and comply with applicable law.
Cookies and local storage
WhicClone uses essential cookies for secure authentication, session continuity, and cross-site request forgery protection. We may use local storage for interface preferences, including remembering that you have seen an onboarding message. See our Cookie Policy for more detail.
Sharing and service providers
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with infrastructure, storage, authentication, email, security, and analytics providers that help operate WhicClone. We may also disclose information when legally required or necessary to protect users, the platform, or the public.
Retention and security
We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, including security, moderation, dispute resolution, and legal obligations. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and rights
You may update account details and notification preferences from your account. You may request access, correction, export, restriction, or deletion where applicable. Public contributions may retain limited moderation or integrity records after account deletion when the law permits.
Children and international use
WhicClone is not directed to children under 13. If local law requires a higher minimum age, that higher age applies. Information may be processed in countries other than your own, subject to appropriate safeguards where required.
Contact
Questions or privacy requests may be sent to [email protected]. We may update this policy as the service evolves and will post the revised effective date on this page.
