Platform Policies

To operate the "Two-Face" engine (public storefront + private hub), we collect specific data points:

• Identity Data: Name, email, and family structure required for account creation.
• Community Data: Profiles, event descriptions, and public pages you choose to publish.
• Financial Ledgers: Transaction records for "Slip & Verify" payments (we track the record, not the bank credentials).
• Usage Analytics & Cookies: Anonymized data and essential cookies to keep you logged in and help us improve platform performance.

You can use Rintera Garden without creating an account. We designed the Garden so your personal plant collection stays on your device.

• Local Plant Collection: Your selected plants and preferred garden region are stored in your browser's local storage. Rintera does not save this collection to an account or server database, and it is not transmitted when you export a garden file.
• Weather Location: To provide location-relevant weather, we may use an approximate location derived from your IP address. Weather coordinates are sent to Open-Meteo solely to retrieve forecast information. This processing is separate from your locally stored plant collection.
• Your Control: You can remove your saved plant collection by clearing it in the Garden or clearing Rintera's site data in your browser.

Your data serves the infrastructure. We use it to:

• Facilitate your community's operations (rosters, events, payments).
• Authenticate members and secure private hubs from unauthorized access.
• Send critical service notifications (not marketing spam).
• Process your monthly platform subscription (via secure payment processors).

• No Sale of Data: We do not sell personal information to third parties.
• Community Isolation: Your private data is only shared with the specific communities you actively join.
• Legal Compliance: We comply with valid legal requests if required by law.

• Strict Protection: We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without parental consent via the Family Account structure.
• Parental Control: Parents have full control over their child's profile and visibility within a community.
• Data Minimization: We encourage communities to collect only the minimum necessary data for safe event operations.

• We implement industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) for data in transit and at rest.
• Access to private community hubs is strictly gated by authentication.
• We regularly review our security infrastructure to protect against unauthorized access.

• Portability: You may export your community data (CSV/JSON) at any time. It's your data.
• Correction: You may update or correct your personal information instantly via your profile settings.
• Deletion: You may request full deletion of your account. (Note: Financial records may be retained for tax compliance).
