Privacy Policy

We collect only the data necessary to operate the directory, secure accounts, and provide support. The categories of data we may process include:

• Account data. When you register, we store your name, email address, and a hashed password. Optional profile fields (avatar, bio, location, website) are stored only if you choose to provide them.
• Listing submissions. Information you provide when submitting a Telegram community — name, description, tags, language, country, member count, and media URLs.
• Usage data. Anonymous analytics such as pages viewed, search queries, referrer, browser type, and approximate location derived from IP address. This data is aggregated and never linked to your account.
• Communication data. Messages you send through our contact form, plus replies we send you, are retained so we can provide continuous support.
• Cookies & local storage. Used to keep you signed in, remember your theme preference, and measure traffic. See our Cookie Policy for details.

We process personal data for the following legitimate purposes:

• Operating the directory: publishing and updating listings you submit.
• Account management: authentication, password resets, and session security.
• Moderation: reviewing reports, removing violating content, and enforcing our guidelines.
• Communication: responding to support tickets and sending essential service notices.
• Improvement: analyzing aggregate usage to prioritize features and fix bugs.
• Security: detecting fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access attempts.
• Legal compliance: responding to lawful requests from authorities where required.

Where we rely on consent (for example, marketing newsletters), you may withdraw that consent at any time using the unsubscribe link or your account settings.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:

• Performance of a contract — creating your account and publishing your listings.
• Legitimate interests — site security, fraud prevention, and product analytics that do not override your rights.
• Consent — optional marketing emails and non-essential cookies.
• Legal obligation — responding to valid law enforcement or regulatory requests.

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only in the limited circumstances described below:

• Service providers. Trusted vendors that host our infrastructure, deliver email, or provide analytics — bound by written contracts and data-protection obligations.
• Public listings. Information you submit for publication is visible to all visitors. Think carefully before sharing personal contact details in a listing.
• Legal demands. We may disclose data when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of TeleVerse, our users, or the public.
• Business transfers. In the event of a merger or asset sale, user data may transfer to the successor, who must honor this policy.

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

• Active accounts: retained while your account is active and up to 30 days after deletion to allow recovery.
• Listings: kept while published and up to 90 days after removal for audit and dispute resolution.
• Support messages: 24 months from last contact.
• Server logs: 30 days, then aggregated and anonymized.
• Reports of abuse: 36 months to support repeat-offender detection.

You can request early deletion of your data at any time by contacting support@televerse.click, subject to legal retention obligations.

We use a small set of first-party cookies and local storage entries to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and measure traffic. We do not use advertising cookies. You can manage cookies in your browser settings; some features may not work correctly if you disable essential cookies. See our Cookie Policy for the full list.

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Erasure — request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
• Restriction — ask us to limit processing in certain circumstances.
• Portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format.
• Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Withdrawal of consent — at any time, without affecting prior processing.

To exercise any of these rights, email support@televerse.click. We respond within 30 days. If you are unsatisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your data: TLS encryption in transit, hashed passwords using bcrypt, scoped database access, and regular security reviews. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we become aware of a breach affecting your personal data, we will notify affected users and the relevant supervisory authority without undue delay, in line with applicable law.

TeleVerse is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

TeleVerse and its service providers may process data in countries outside your own. When we transfer personal data outside the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism recognized by the European Commission.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced on our website and, where required, by email. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Continued use of TeleVerse after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
