Privacy policy

1. Who we are

Olulyo is operated for family lineage sites. The Olulyo Hub helps families register and find their site. Each family site stores that family’s member records. Contact: support@toughblue.com.

2. What we collect

• Account data — username, password (stored hashed on the family site), role (viewer, editor, administrator), and optional contact details your administrator records.
• Lineage data — names, relationships, dates, places, notes, and clan surname metadata that editors enter.
• Photos — portraits and gallery images uploaded by authorized users.
• Events — event details, RSVPs, and attendance when used.
• Hub applications — information you submit when applying for a new family site (family name, place, region, contact details).
• Technical data — IP address, device/browser type, and basic logs needed to run signed-in sessions and secure the service.
• Android app — family selection, session tokens for your family API, and crash/diagnostic logs only as needed to keep the app working.

A shorter store-oriented summary is on Data we collect.

3. Why we use it

• To provide your family’s private lineage site and mobile access.
• To authenticate users and enforce roles.
• To review and provision new family applications.
• To sync clan surname catalogs between the hub and family sites when an administrator requests it.
• To secure the service, fix bugs, and respond to support requests.
• To meet legal obligations when required.

4. Who can see family data

Member and lineage data live on your family’s site, not in a public mixed tree. Access follows the roles your family administrators set. Hub operators manage onboarding, billing status, and infrastructure — they are not a substitute for your family’s content editors.

5. Sharing

We do not sell personal data. We may share information with hosting and infrastructure providers who process it only to run Olulyo, or when the law requires disclosure. Clan catalog sync copies surname lists between the hub and family apps that administrators choose to connect.

6. Retention

Account and lineage data remain while your family site is active and the records are kept by your administrators. Application records are kept as needed to process onboarding. Logs are kept for a limited operational period. You can request deletion as described on Delete your account.

7. Security

We use HTTPS, hashed passwords on family sites, role-based access, and per-family databases. See Security practices. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure.

8. Children

Olulyo is meant for family members authorized by a family administrator. Information about minors may appear in a tree when relatives add it. See Children and family data.

9. Your choices

• Ask your family administrator to correct or remove records you believe are wrong.
• Request account deletion using the process on the delete-account page.
• Contact support@toughblue.com for privacy questions.

10. Changes

We may update this policy. The effective date at the top of this section’s pages will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy, where permitted by law.
