Terms of Service

Usage of Amrella is subject to the following:

Users of the Amrella social media platform are expected to maintain a high standard of decency while using Amrella and its subsets or services. Some slight detachment is acceptable, but going overboard is definitely a breach of the personality requirements.
Users should not post or comment about any religion, race, or politics with prejudice. Everyone must respect one and another appropriately.
Users must be atleast 13 years old in order to sign up for an account. The community standards at Amrella are carefully moderated to be suitable for such young users.
Users may use their real name or an alias. But there must be no portrayal of inappropriate content associated with them whatsoever. Naming yourself in such a way will attract moderators’ attention and eventually result in suspension of your account.
As a fellow user, you have the ability to report suspicious activities and content with ease. The moderation team is very sincere about these matters. However, if a user misuses this ability, this counts as a “false alarm”. Thus, the user’s account would be suspended for 7 days.
To maximize everyone’s safety, users should know that their accounts may be privately checked at any time by the moderation team for hidden malicious activites or during the course of an investigation.
Users should be aware that malicious activities and discussions are easily tracked by the moderation team. No illegal activities, trade or malicious conversations are allowed. If there is such an occurence, Amrella reserves the right to suspend or delete the user’s account with zero guarantee of the user’s profile or information to be exported and sent back to them.
If required, Amrella’s moderation team may suspend or ban your account due to violations of our privacy policy. There is a 90% guarantee that Amrella will safely export all the content of that account; otherwise there is a 10% chance that the information will be permanently deleted forever.
Users should know that the terms and conditions stated on this page may change anytime without notice. But we will try our best to always inform everyone about any new changes atleast 3 months in advance.

Privacy Policy

Who we are

Amrella is a social media platform. The first free-to-use version was publicly launched in October 2020, but had to be shut down in December 2022 due to incompatibility with the previous hosting provider. This current version was launched in April 2023.

Outlined here are some facts that users of Amrella should be aware of.

Content

When users upload content on the platform, the user’s IP address and browser user agent string is automatically recorded by our servers to help prevent spam or suspicious activities.

Media

While uploading images to the platform, you should be aware that images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) may be misused by others. Always remember to check your privacy settings. Deleting any images or media also automatically erases it from our servers. However, malicious users may have already downloaded and extracted any location data from images they may have found publicly.

Cookies

Cookies are essential for your convenience so that you do not have to re-login with your credentials (email address, username, password) again and again. The cookies will generally expire after one year, but you can easily clear them from your browser.

Everytime you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set (regardless of whether you have successfully logged in) to determine if the device you are using accepts cookies or not. This cookie contains no personal data and is destroyed whenever you close Amrella.

Several cookies may be stored to save your login credentials. The login cookies last for 2 days, and screen options cookies last for 1 year. By selecting “Remember Me”, your logged in status will remain for upto 14 days. Everytime you log out, the login cookies will also be discarded.

Please note that cookies are NOT the same as the data or content on the platform.

Embedded Content

Be aware that content on Amrella may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites which would behave exactly in the same way as if the user has visited the other website in question. Generally, this would not be the case for ordinary posts since we disallow the usage of embedded content.

The only situation where such embedded content would appear is within official posts authored by any of the administrators of Amrella. Thus, users need not worry about being exposed to external scripts or content directly.

Who we share your data with

At the moment, Amrella does not externally distribute any information about its users outside the scope of its servers. But please note that for any kind of communication between us and the user, e.g. requesting a password reset, the user’s IP address will be included in any emails we send.

How long we retain your data

Your information will be stored in our servers for as long as you wish to use Amrella. Every time you delete any content, the changes are immediately reflected on our main instance of the server. In case you wish to permanently delete your account and all its information, feel free to contact us.

What rights you have over your data

You own all rights to your own information and/or content as long as you are its rightful owner or creator. Unless we receive any claims otherwise, you can freely post or remove your content. If you wish, you can request to have a copy of all your personal data exported in a file to be downloaded by you.

For administrative, legal, or security purposes, we may have to retain certain information until you submit an application to us.

Where your data is sent

All information and data on this version of the platform is stored on our hosting provider’s servers, Hostinger.
