1. What we collect
Account information you provide when signing in (email address, display name, sign in provider). Content you publish (posts, replies, votes, images, your public profile). App activity needed to run the service (Group memberships, Rep balance, reports you file, members you block). If you allow notifications, a device push token.
Sign in methods
- Sign in with Apple
- Sign in with Google
- Email address and password

2. How it is used
Only to run RePub: showing your content to other members, ranking feeds, running Group elections and votes, delivering vote notifications, moderating reported content, and processing Rep purchases through Apple. We do not sell your data and we do not use it for third party advertising.
3. Where it lives
Data is stored in Google Firebase (Firestore, Storage, Authentication, Cloud Messaging), which processes it on our behalf. Purchases are processed by Apple; we never see your payment details.
4. What is public
Your display name, public profile (status, avatar, banner), posts, replies, and approve or disapprove history are visible to other members. Boost activity is visible only to a Group’s elected officials. Shared post pages are visible to anyone with the link.
Advertising: RePub does not show ads and does not use an advertising SDK.
5. Deletion
You can delete your account from Profile inside the app. This removes your sign in, profile, and Group memberships. Published posts and replies remain, shown under your last display name. For any other request, email us.
6. Children
RePub is not for children under 17.

Community Rules and Terms of Use
Last updated August 16, 2026
Please read these terms before using RePub.
By creating an account or using RePub you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use RePub.
1. Who can use RePub
You must be at least 17 years old. Guests may browse; posting, replying, and voting require an account.
2. Your content
You own what you post. By posting you grant RePub a license to host, display, and distribute your content inside the service and on shared post pages. You are responsible for what you publish.
3. Objectionable content is not tolerated
There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behavior on RePub. This includes harassment, threats, hate, sexual content involving minors, doxxing (posting personal information), spam, and content that is illegal where you or we operate. Every post and reply can be reported from inside the app. Reports are reviewed by the elected officials of each Group and by RePub, offending content is removed, and abusive accounts are ejected. You can also block any member, which removes their content from your feeds immediately.
4. Group rules
Each Group can adopt additional rules by member referendum. Some rules are enforced automatically when you publish; the rest are enforced by the Group’s elected Officers. Breaking Group rules can lead to content removal.
5. Rep
Rep is earned from approvals, and can be purchased or received from boosts. The in app purchase is 250 Rep for $4.99. Rep has no cash value, cannot be exchanged outside RePub, and purchases are handled and refunded solely through Apple.
6. Elections and votes
Group leadership is decided by member elections. Manipulating elections or votes with fake accounts or coordinated inauthentic activity is grounds for removal.
7. Termination
We may suspend or remove accounts that break these terms. You may delete your account at any time from Profile, which removes your sign in, profile, and memberships.
