Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 17, 2026
Brickfeed is operated by Zanello Studios ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy
Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you
use the Brickfeed mobile application.
---1. Information We Collect
- Account Information — When you register, we collect your username, email
address, and password (stored securely via Supabase).
- Profile Information — Display name, profile photo, and bio you choose to
provide.

send within the app.

details including title, description, photos, price, and general location
(postal code and country) you provide.
- Group Activity — If you create or join Groups, we collect group names,
descriptions, cover photos, member lists, posts, and announcements associated
with those groups.
- Purchase & Subscription Data — When you purchase a Brickfeed Badge
subscription, we store your active subscription tier. Payment processing is
handled entirely by Apple; we never receive or store your payment card
information. Subscription history is managed through RevenueCat.

token to deliver push notifications to your device.

---2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:

- Display your content to other users
- Enable social features (following, liking, commenting, messaging, groups)
- Power marketplace features (listing, buying, and selling LEGO items)
- Send notifications about activity on your account
- Process and manage in-app badge subscriptions
- Investigate reports of abuse or policy violations

We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for third-party
advertising.
---3. Direct Messages
Messages sent between users are private. We do not monitor, read, or access
the content of your direct messages except in the following circumstance:
when a message or user is reported through our in-app reporting tool, the
content of that conversation may be reviewed by our moderation team solely
for the purpose of evaluating the report and taking appropriate action.
We do not use message content for any other purpose, and we do not share it
with third parties.
---4. Groups
Groups are communities within Brickfeed that members can join and participate
in. Group content — including posts, announcements, and member lists — is
visible to all members of that group. Group creators and admins can manage
membership and content within their group. We may access group content when
it is reported to us for moderation purposes.

- Supabase — Database, authentication, and file storage
(supabase.com/privacy)

(revenuecat.com/privacy)
- Apple — Handles all payment processing for in-app subscriptions. We never
receive your payment card details. (apple.com/legal/privacy)

through Expo's push notification service. (expo.dev/privacy)

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot
guarantee absolute security.
---7. Children's Privacy
Brickfeed requires users to be at least 18 years old to create an account. We
do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you

removes your data

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have additional
rights under GDPR, including the right to data portability and the right to
lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
If you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA, including
the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to

---9. Data Retention
We retain your data according to the following schedule:
- Messages — Message content is retained for 12 months after the last
activity in a conversation, after which the content is removed. Message

continuity.

retained for up to 24 months to support our safety review process, even if
the sending user deletes their account.

permanently deleted within 30 days. If your account was suspended for a Terms
of Service violation, we retain a minimal record (no personally identifiable
information) to prevent re-registration.

respective retention policies.
10. Content You Post
When you post photos, videos, or other content on Brickfeed, you retain
ownership of that content. However, by posting on Brickfeed you grant Zanello
Studios a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, display,
reproduce, and distribute that content for the purpose of operating and
promoting Brickfeed. This includes but is not limited to:
- Displaying your content to other users within the app
- Featuring your builds or posts in App Store screenshots, promotional
graphics, social media accounts, or marketing materials operated by Zanello
Studios
- Sharing your content in press coverage or partnership materials related to
Brickfeed
We will make reasonable efforts to credit your username when featuring your
content in promotional contexts outside the app. You may request removal of
your content from promotional materials by contacting us at
brickfeedapp@gmail.com — we will honor reasonable requests, though we cannot
guarantee removal from materials already published or distributed.
This license ends when you delete the content from your account or delete
your account entirely, except for content that has already been used in
published promotional materials.
By using Brickfeed, you confirm that you own or have the rights to any
content you post, and that posting it does not violate any third-party
rights.
---11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of
significant changes by updating the date at the top of this policy. Continued
use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
