Privacy policy
FriendPage (friendpage.net) is a social network for people you know. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, who can see it, and how you can delete it. We do not sell advertising profiles, we do not run a ranked “For You” feed, and we do not post to Facebook or Google on your behalf.
1. Who we are
FriendPage is operated at friendpage.net. Questions about this policy: [email protected].
2. Information you give us
When you create or use a page, you may give us:
- Name, username, and email address
- A password
- Profile fields such as about, hometown, relationship, music, movies, books, and interests
- Photos you upload, including captions and comments
- Board posts, journal entries, messages, and friend requests
- Network or group memberships (for example a school or work email domain)
- Invites you send, and reports you file about abuse
You choose who can see most of this under Account: only you, friends, people in your networks, or anyone. About, hometown, relationship, music, movies, books, and interests share one Information setting. Posts default to friends.
3. How you sign in
You create a page with your name, email, and a password. We send a confirmation link to that email. We do not offer Facebook or Google sign-in.
4. Google Contacts
If you later choose Connect Google Contacts on Invite, we read names and email addresses from that contact list so you can pick people to invite. We do not mail the whole book, and we do not store the list. We do not read your Gmail or post to Google.
5. Information we collect automatically
- Session cookies so you stay signed in
- A short-lived invite cookie if you arrive from an invite link
- IP address and browser user agent on the session, for security
- Server logs (errors and operational events). We redact emails and passwords
We use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site (pages viewed, approximate location, device). We do not use advertising cookies or sell that data. Cloudflare may sit in front of the site for security and caching.
6. How we use information
- Operate your page, friends, photos, journal, messages, and groups
- Show content to the people you chose with visibility settings
- Send email for verification, password reset, invites you requested, and optional activity notices (messages, friend requests, board posts, comments, and event invites) that you can turn off in settings
- Rate-limit abuse and review reports
- Keep the service running (backups, storage, email delivery)
We do not use your content to train public AI models or to target ads.
7. Who can see your information
Other people on FriendPage see what your visibility settings allow. Public fields can be seen without signing in. Friends-only content is limited to people you accepted. Messages are between the people in the conversation.
We share data with service providers who run the product for us:
- Hosting and database (application servers and Postgres)
- Object storage for photos (for example S3-compatible storage)
- Email delivery for account mail
- Google, only if you connect Contacts to send invites
- Google Analytics, for usage statistics (measurement ID on the site)
We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect people from serious harm. We do not sell your personal information.
8. Cookies
We use a session cookie to keep you signed in, and a brief invite cookie so an invite survives signup. These are necessary for the site to work. We do not use advertising cookies.
9. How long we keep it
We keep your account and content while the account is open. Photos you delete are hidden from the site. Server logs are kept only as long as we need them to run and secure the service.
10. Your choices
- Edit your profile and visibility at Account and Profile
- Change or remove photos, posts, journal entries, and messages you wrote
- Unfriend or block someone
- Sign out; that ends the current session
- Delete your account at Account. Type your username to confirm. That removes your page and the data on it. You can also email [email protected] and we will do it for you
11. Children
FriendPage is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you think we have, write to [email protected] and we will delete it.
12. Security
We use HTTPS, hashed passwords, and access controls on the database and photo storage. No method of transmission is perfect. Please use a unique password if you sign in with email.
13. Changes
If we change this policy in a material way, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of FriendPage after that date means you accept the updated policy.
