Effective Date: 24 August 2026
Last Updated: 01 September 2026

ETHORVE, powered by ONEORVE, is a global social community created to bring people together through genuine human connection.

Real People. Real Connections. A Community Without Borders.

We respect your privacy and believe you should understand what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it and the choices available to you.

This Privacy Policy explains how ETHORVE (“ETHORVE”, “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses and protects personal data when you use our website, applications, platform and related services (collectively, the “Platform”).

This Policy is intended to apply to users worldwide, with particular consideration given to applicable Singapore privacy requirements, including the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA).

1. Who We Are

ETHORVE is powered and operated by ONEORVE.

ETHORVE is designed as a social community where people can connect, communicate, share experiences and participate in communities.

For privacy-related matters, ONEORVE acts as the organisation responsible for the operation and management of ETHORVE and the processing of personal data through the Platform.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that is necessary to provide, secure and improve ETHORVE.

• Name or display name
• Email address
• Username
• Password or authentication credentials
• Date of birth or age information
• Profile photo
• Country or general location
• Other information you voluntarily provide

Because ETHORVE is an 16+ platform, we may collect information necessary to establish or verify that you meet the minimum age requirement.

Social Login Information

If you choose to sign in using a third-party service such as:

• Google
• LinkedIn
• X
• Other supported identity providers

we may receive information provided by that service, such as your name, email address, profile information and unique account identifier.

We only request information reasonably necessary to authenticate and maintain your ETHORVE account.

3. Information You Provide

You may voluntarily provide additional information when using ETHORVE, including:

• Profile information
• Posts and comments
• Photos, videos and other media
• Community memberships
• Interests
• Messages or communications
• Reports and feedback
• Information provided when contacting us

Please remember that information you choose to make publicly visible may be viewed, copied or shared by other users.

Do not post sensitive personal information that you do not want others to see.

4. Information We Collect Automatically

When you access ETHORVE, certain technical information may be collected automatically.

This may include:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Device type
• Operating system
• Language and regional settings
• Approximate location derived from technical information
• Date and time of access
• Pages or features accessed
• Referring website

• Error and diagnostic information

We use this information primarily to operate, secure and improve the Platform.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

ETHORVE may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep you signed in;
• Maintain sessions;
• Remember preferences;
• Protect accounts and prevent abuse;
• Understand how the Platform is used; and
• Improve performance and functionality.

Where applicable, we will provide appropriate controls for managing non-essential cookies.

Please refer to our Cookies Policy for further information.

6. How We Use Your Information

We may use personal data for the following purposes:

• Create and manage your account;
• Authenticate your identity;
• Provide social and community features;
• Display your profile and content;
• Enable communication between users;
• Provide requested services and features.

Security and Trust

To:

• Protect accounts;

We will not send marketing communications where prohibited by applicable law and will provide appropriate choices where required.

7. We Do Not Sell Your Personal Data

ETHORVE does not sell your personal data.

We believe that a social platform should not require users to surrender control of their personal information simply to participate in a community.

Our intention is to build ETHORVE around people and genuine connections, rather than a business model based on selling personal data.

We may, however, use third-party service providers to provide infrastructure, authentication, security, analytics, communications and other services necessary to operate ETHORVE.

8. Third-Party Service Providers

ETHORVE may use trusted third-party providers to support the Platform.

These may include providers of:

• Cloud hosting and infrastructure
• Authentication and identity services
• Email and communications
• Security and fraud prevention
• Analytics
• Database and storage services
• Content delivery
• Technical monitoring

These providers may process personal data on our behalf and are expected to handle it in accordance with applicable contractual and legal requirements.

We do not permit service providers to use your personal data for purposes unrelated to providing their services to ETHORVE unless otherwise permitted or required by law.

9. Social Login Providers

When you choose to sign in using Google, LinkedIn, X or another supported service, that provider may process information according to its own privacy policy.

ETHORVE does not control how third-party services process information outside our Platform.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party service you use to access ETHORVE.

10. Public Information

ETHORVE is a social community.

Depending on your settings and the features you use, information such as your:

• Display name;
• Profile photo;
• Profile information;
• Posts;
• Comments;
• Community participation; and
• Other content you choose to share

may be visible to other users or the public.

Please consider carefully what you choose to publish.

Once information is made public, we cannot guarantee that other people will not copy, screenshot, save or redistribute it.

11. Private Communications

Where ETHORVE provides private messaging or similar functionality, communications may be processed and stored as necessary to provide the service, maintain security, investigate abuse and comply with legal obligations.

ETHORVE does not represent that all communications are end-to-end encrypted unless the Platform expressly identifies a particular communication feature as providing such encryption.

12. User-Generated Content

You retain ownership of content you create and upload to ETHORVE.

However, we need certain rights to store, process, display and deliver your content so that the Platform can function.

Our use of User Content is governed by our Terms of Use.

We do not claim ownership of your content merely because you upload it to ETHORVE.

13. Age Requirement

ETHORVE is intended for individuals 18 years of age or older.

We do not knowingly permit individuals under 18 to create accounts or use ETHORVE.

If we discover that an account belongs to someone under 18, we may suspend or delete the account and associated personal data, subject to applicable legal requirements.

If you believe someone under 18 is using ETHORVE, please report the account to us.

14. Identity and Account Verification

ETHORVE may introduce verification measures to help maintain a community of genuine users.

Where verification is implemented, we will collect only the information reasonably necessary for the verification process.

If third-party verification providers are used, relevant information may be processed by those providers on our behalf.

We will explain the applicable verification process and provide additional information where required.

15. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable, we process personal data based on one or more of the following:

• Your consent;
• Performance of a contract or provision of requested services;
• Compliance with legal obligations;
• Legitimate interests, where permitted by law; or
• Protection of users, the Platform or other persons.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent where permitted by law.

Withdrawal of consent may affect our ability to provide certain services or features.

16. Disclosure of Personal Data

We may disclose personal data where reasonably necessary:

• To provide ETHORVE;
• To our service providers;
• To protect users or the Platform;
• To investigate fraud, abuse or security incidents;
• To comply with applicable laws;
• In response to lawful requests from competent authorities;
• To establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
• In connection with a corporate transaction involving ETHORVE or ONEORVE.

We do not disclose personal information simply because a third party requests it.

17. International Data Transfers

ETHORVE is intended for a global community.

Your personal data may therefore be processed or stored in countries outside your country of residence.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by applicable data protection laws.

For users in Singapore, this includes complying with applicable requirements concerning the transfer of personal data outside Singapore.

18. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including:

• Providing the Platform;
• Maintaining account records;
• Security and fraud prevention;
• Resolving disputes;
• Meeting legal and regulatory obligations; and
• Enforcing our agreements.

When personal data is no longer required, we may delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal or legitimate business requirements.

19. Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your ETHORVE account.

When an account is deleted, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise associated personal data, subject to information that we are required or permitted to retain.

Some information may remain temporarily in backups or security records before being securely deleted or overwritten.

Content that you have shared publicly may also have been copied or redistributed by other users and may not be possible for ETHORVE to completely recover or remove from outside systems.

20. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal data, including the right to:

• Request access to personal data we hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Request deletion of personal data where applicable;
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• Request information about how your personal data is used;
• Object to or restrict certain processing where applicable; and
• Lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority.

Singapore users may exercise applicable rights under the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA).

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

21. Accuracy of Personal Data

We rely on you to provide accurate and up-to-date information.

You should update your account information when it changes.

If you believe information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, please contact us.

22. Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against:

• Unauthorised access;
• Loss;
• Misuse;
• Disclosure;
• Alteration; and
• Destruction.

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

You should also take reasonable steps to protect your account, including keeping passwords and authentication credentials confidential.

23. Data Breaches

If a data breach occurs that is required to be notified under applicable law, ETHORVE will take the appropriate steps to investigate, contain and address the incident and make required notifications to affected individuals and/or relevant authorities.

24. Children's Privacy

ETHORVE is not intended for individuals under 18.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18 for the purpose of allowing them to participate in ETHORVE.

If we become aware that such an account has been created, we will take reasonable steps to address the situation.

25. Third-Party Websites

ETHORVE may contain links to third-party websites or services.

Those websites operate independently and have their own privacy practices.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites that we do not control.

26. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect:

• Changes to ETHORVE;
• New features or services;
• Changes to our data practices;
• Changes in technology; or
• Changes in applicable laws and regulations.

When we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify users.

The latest version will always be made available on the Platform together with its Last Updated date.
