01The short version
- We collect what we need to run your account and the site, and nothing more.
- We don't sell your data and don't use advertising trackers.
- You can edit your profile, hide your favourites, or ask us to delete your account at any time.
02What we collect
Account details. Your email, username, display name, and password (stored only as a secure hash, never in plain text). Optionally your avatar, bio and TikTok username.
Discord sign-in. If you sign in with Discord, Discord shares your Discord user ID, username, avatar and email with us. We don't get your Discord password, messages or servers.
Activity on Noku. What you download, like, favourite, request and upvote, and what you upload if you're a creator. This powers counts, trending lists and your profile.
Messages. Whatever you send through the contact form, including your name and email.
Technical data. Your IP address, browser and device type, and basic logs of requests to the site. We use these to keep Noku secure, stop abuse and fix problems.
03How we use it
- To create and run your account and sign you in.
- To show your profile, uploads and (if you choose) favourites.
- To count downloads, likes and upvotes, and rank trending content and requests.
- To send emails you need, like password resets, and to reply to messages.
- To protect the site, for example by blocking hotlinking, spam and automated downloads.
04What other people can see
Your display name, username, avatar, bio, TikTok, uploads and upload count are public. Your favourites are public only if you choose "Everyone" in your profile settings. Requests show your username. Your email is never shown to other users.
07How long we keep it
We keep account data while your account is open. When you delete your account, we remove your profile and personal details within 30 days, except where we need to keep a record for legal reasons (for example copyright notices). Server logs are kept for a short time, typically up to 30 days.
08Your choices and rights
You can edit your profile and favourites visibility at any time. You can also ask us to send you a copy of your data, correct it or delete it by emailing management@noku.gg.
Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK or California), you may have extra rights, such as objecting to how we use your data or complaining to a data protection authority.
09Children
Noku isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, contact us and we'll delete it.
10Security and where data is stored
We use encryption in transit (HTTPS), hashed passwords and short-lived download links. Our providers may store data in the United States and other countries. No system is perfectly secure, but we'll tell affected users promptly if a breach puts their data at risk.
11Changes and contact
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top and tell account holders about important changes. Questions? Email management@noku.gg or use the contact page.
