Peerly is built for verified HKU community use across the web app and iOS app. This policy explains what data Peerly handles and how it is used to operate the service.
Last updated: June 26, 2026Peerly stores account details you provide, including your HKU email, nickname, profile details, posts, replies, meetups, saves, reports, messages, uploaded images, notification preferences, and device push tokens when you enable app alerts.
We use this data to verify HKU-only access, show community content, deliver chat and activity notifications, prevent abuse, handle reports, maintain account safety, improve reliability, and operate Peerly across web and iOS.
If you attach a campus location or image to a post, that content can be shown to other Peerly users. Peerly does not require continuous background location tracking.
Peerly does not sell personal data or use it for third-party advertising. Data is kept while your account or content is active, unless it needs to be retained for moderation, safety, security, audit, or legal reasons.
You can delete your account from the Profile page in Peerly. Account deletion removes your profile, owned posts, replies, chats, saved items, notification tokens, and uploaded images where technically possible. Moderation and safety records may be retained only when required.
For privacy, account, or safety questions, use the Support page or the in-app report tools so Peerly can identify the affected account or content.
