Welcome to deer.social. This privacy policy explains our approach to your data when you use our application.
The deer.social application itself does not collect, store, track, or share any of your personal information or user data. We do not operate servers that store your account details, posts, or activity logs.
Our application functions solely as a client interface to interact with the underlying Bluesky social network (AT Protocol).
When you use deer.social, you connect to the Bluesky network through a specific AppView and your chosen Personal Data Server (PDS). These services are responsible for storing and managing your account information, posts, social graph, and other associated data.
Your data handling and privacy are governed by the Terms of Service and Privacy Policies of the specific AppView and PDS you use. deer.social simply acts on your behalf to communicate with these services based on the credentials you provide locally on your device.
We strongly recommend you review the policies of your chosen PDS provider and the AppView you are using. For reference, the Privacy Policy for the default Bluesky service (AppView provided by bsky.social) can be found here:

To function, deer.social may store your login credentials or temporary session information on your own device. This data is not accessed by or transmitted to us.
deer.social does not use cookies or any tracking analytics.
We may update this policy. If we do, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page.
If you have questions specifically about the functionality of the deer.social application itself (and not about data managed by your PDS or AppView), please email [email protected].
