Privacy policy

What Akin collects, why it is needed, who receives it, how long it is kept and the choices available to you.

This is a structured launch draft based on Akin’s current product requirements. It must be reviewed and completed with the legal entity details, vendors, retention periods, and governing-law choices before publication.

Who controls your data

The Akin operating entity will be the controller for account, community, support and website data. The legal name, organisation number, address and data-protection contact must be inserted before launch.

Data Akin processes

  • Account data: email address, generated identifier, age confirmation and authentication records.
  • Community data: posts, replies, categories, votes, reports, blocks and moderation decisions.
  • Technical data: device, app version, IP-derived security information, crash data and service logs.
  • Support data: information you provide in contact, privacy, appeal or safety forms.
  • Product analytics: limited event data used to understand reliability and product use.

Why Akin processes it

Akin processes data to perform the service contract, protect members and the service, comply with legal obligations, and pursue legitimate interests such as security, abuse prevention and product reliability. Consent is used where required, including for optional website technologies.

Who receives data

Expected service providers include hosting, authentication and database infrastructure, transactional email, crash reporting, product analytics and support tooling. A final vendor list, processing locations and transfer safeguards must be completed before launch.

Retention

Account and community data is kept while the account is active and then deleted or de-identified under a documented retention schedule. Security, moderation, financial and legal records may be retained for a limited period when necessary and lawful.

Your rights

  • Access and receive a copy of your personal data.
  • Correct inaccurate data.
  • Ask for deletion or restriction where the law applies.
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
  • Withdraw consent where processing depends on consent.
  • Receive portable data where applicable.
  • Complain to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY).

Children

Akin is not intended for anyone under 18. If Akin learns that an underage person created an account, the account will be investigated and removed.
