To use most features of Indril you must create an account. During registration we collect:
You may update or correct your account information at any time from Settings → Edit Profile
Bio, profile photo, optional website, optional state, and any privacy or notification preferences you configure. Your display name, bio, profile photo, and website are visible to other users when they view your profile.
When you upload a video we receive the original video file, any caption, hashtags you add, an auto-generated thumbnail, and view / like / comment / share metrics on that video. Videos are visible according to your account privacy setting (public or private). Public videos may also appear in feeds and search results of users who do not follow you.
Photo posts work the same way as videos but contain images instead of video. The image file itself, captions, and engagement metrics are stored on our servers.
Stories are short photos or videos that automatically disappear after 24 hours. We also record which users have viewed each story (“story viewers”) so we can show that list to the story owner. Highlights you save from your stories persist beyond 24 hours until you delete them.
We store the messages you send and receive (including text, shared photos, videos, voice notes, and shared videos) so we can deliver them to recipients and let you browse history. Messages travel over HTTPS / WSS (encrypted in transit) and are encrypted at rest on our database. Either you or the recipient can delete a message; deletion removes the message permanently from both inboxes.
We record who follows whom, who liked which video, who commented, and who bookmarked which post. These records are used to compute counts displayed publicly on profiles and to deliver personalised feeds.
