Privacy and security form the foundational architecture of Oddapy. Unlike conventional applications that track user activity and monetize personal data, Oddapy implements a privacy-first approach with secure cloud storage and strict access controls. This section provides detailed explanations of our security model, data protection measures, and privacy commitments. Understanding these mechanisms will clarify how Oddapy prioritizes your privacy while maintaining the accessibility and convenience of a modern cloud-based platform.
Can Oddapy employees see my data?
Oddapy operates on a strict privacy-first policy with limited employee access to user data. Our technical staff may access data only when necessary for system maintenance, troubleshooting, or when you explicitly request support assistance. We never analyze, monetize, or share your personal content with third parties.
How does Oddapy protect my data?
Oddapy uses industry-standard encryption to protect your data during transmission and storage on secure cloud servers. Combined with our privacy-first policies—no tracking, no ads, no data selling—your information remains secure. We implement robust access controls and security measures to ensure your content stays protected.
What does privacy-first architecture mean?
Privacy-first architecture means we design every feature with your privacy as the top priority. Oddapy does not track your activity, serve advertisements, or sell your information to third parties. Your data is stored securely with industry-standard encryption, and we maintain strict policies limiting employee access to user content.
Where is my data stored?
Your data is stored on secure cloud servers provided by industry-standard cloud service providers. All data is protected with encryption during transmission and at rest. Our cloud infrastructure ensures your files remain accessible across all your devices while maintaining security and privacy.
What happens if Oddapy gets hacked?
Oddapy implements multiple layers of security including encrypted data storage, robust access controls, regular security audits, and incident response procedures. While we take extensive measures to prevent unauthorized access, your data is protected by encryption and access restrictions that minimize risk even in worst-case scenarios.
Can I reset my password if I forget it?
Yes. Oddapy provides a password recovery system that sends a temporary password to your registered email address. The temporary password is valid for 5 minutes and can be requested up to three times within 24 hours. Use it to access your account, then immediately set a new secure password.
Are cover photos as secure as other files?
Cover photos are stored in publicly accessible storage optimized for app performance and do not consume your storage quota. For this reason, you should not use private or sensitive images as cover photos. All other files and content you upload are fully secured with encryption and count toward your 15GB storage allocation.
Can other people find me on Oddapy?
No. Oddapy uses Connection Handles instead of searchable profiles. Users cannot search for or discover other Oddapy users. To connect, you must explicitly share your Connection Handle outside of Oddapy. This ensures you control exactly who can find and connect with you.
What are Connection Handles?
Connection Handles are unique, time-limited codes you generate and share to establish connections with other Oddapy users. They replace traditional searchable profiles, giving you complete control over your discoverability. Only users with your Connection Handle can connect with you, and you decide how long each handle remains valid.
How does Oddapy ensure my privacy when sharing assets?
When you share assets, you control exactly what permissions recipients receive (view, edit, delete, share, download). Shared assets don't duplicate or consume additional storage. You can revoke sharing access anytime. Additionally, Connection Handles ensure you only share with users you've explicitly chosen to connect with.
Does Oddapy collect any personal information?
Oddapy collects only essential information required for platform operation: email address (for login and account recovery), full name (for personalization and collaboration), and password (for security). We do not request unnecessary personal details, and all data remains secure under our privacy-first policy.
What data does Oddapy use for backups?
Oddapy maintains regular backups for disaster recovery purposes only. When you delete your account, your data is removed from active systems immediately. Backup archives are refreshed monthly, ensuring complete deletion occurs within one backup cycle. Backups are stored securely and follow the same privacy standards as active data.
