We use the data we collect to:

We may share data with trusted technical partners (like hosting services) only to the extent necessary to keep the website running.

Security

Our Content and Ops lead maintains the technical integrity of the site to protect your data from unauthorized access.

Access and Edit

You can update your profile information and edit your stories at any time through your dashboard.

Deletion

You have the right to delete your stories or your entire account. Once deleted, your personal data will be removed from our active databases.

Visibility

You control what parts of your profile are public. Remember that stories you publish are visible to the entire Portulika community.

We use basic cookies to keep you logged in and to remember your preferences. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features of the site may not function correctly.

As the project grows, for example when we introduce the revenue-sharing model or new modules, we may update this policy. We will notify the community of any significant changes via the website or email.
