Community and Contributions

Orrique’s shared catalog includes fragrance facts and crowd summaries that can help everyone. Taking part is optional. Your private diary and wear dates are not published.

Turning sharing on or off

There are two separate choices. In a fresh full setup, both visible controls begin on and can be turned off independently before you continue:

Choice	What is shared	What other people see
Contribute to community data	A creator-private numeric summary for a fragrance, including rating and disclosed performance and value fields	Crowd results only after enough people contribute
Help improve the shared catalog	Objective facts you add, such as notes, perfumer, and release year	Facts approved through the catalog review process

1. Open Settings.
2. Open Privacy.
3. Find Community.
4. Review the disclosure before turning on either choice.

Performance sharing never includes diary text, wear dates, photos, your name, or your email. Public crowd results use contribution thresholds so one person’s raw values are not shown as a community result.

Continuing from the onboarding choices screen opens a full disclosure for each contribution switch left on. Share performance data? requires Agree and share, and Community guidelines requires Agree and contribute. Continue without sharing or Continue without contributing leaves that contribution disabled and continues setup. Review choices closes the disclosure without changing a contribution setting or advancing setup. Skip Setup does not enable choices that have not completed this review. Existing installations keep their saved settings.

On a returning device, the Community contributions popup says your cabinet is here and offers Share both, Performance only, Open without sharing, and Keep reviewing after the first iCloud preferences have had a moment to arrive. Share both and Performance only still open the applicable full disclosures before anything is enabled. Open without sharing turns both contribution choices off and opens the cabinet. Keep reviewing, Escape, or Cancel leaves the choices unchanged and returns to Welcome Back.

Turning a choice off stops future sharing of that type. Delete past stats and dupe votes removes creator-owned raw performance and dupe votes where the service can verify them. Reviewed catalog submissions are a separate record type and are not deleted by that action.

The one-time catalog prompt

If setup did not record a catalog choice, such as after an untouched Skip Setup, the first time you save useful catalog details Orrique may ask whether you want to help improve the shared catalog. Share details turns catalog contributions on. Not now saves your fragrance without submitting it.

The prompt appears once. You can change the choice later in Settings, Privacy.

Your private Collection record saves immediately either way. A new shared-catalog candidate waits for review before other people can see it.

What remains open to everyone

• Everyone can read the approved public catalog and eligible crowd summaries.
• People who opt in can submit performance votes, dupe votes, catalog candidates, corrections, reports, bottle images, and scent-base contributions.
• Public submissions enter protected or reviewed workflows. They cannot overwrite the canonical catalog directly.

Reporting a catalog entry, note, or suggesting a correction

1. Open the fragrance or note.
2. Open Options.
3. Tap Report an issue.
4. Choose the reason. Choose Wrong or misleading information when you want to suggest the correct fact.
5. Add up to 500 characters of useful detail if needed.
6. Submit the correction or report.

An on-device check may warn when your own report text looks like spam, a link, all caps, or inappropriate language. You can edit it, submit it as written, or send the report without your note.

Verified and unverified entries

An Unverified badge means a live catalog entry still needs enough crowd agreement or curator review. It is informational and does not change your private record.

A completely new contributed fragrance is held before publication, so it does not appear to everyone until approved.

Tracking what you shared and reported

Open Settings, Privacy, then Your contributions or Your reports. Confirmed history can follow you with iCloud Sync. Upload work that has not reached the service stays on the device that created it.

Following what you have shared

Status	Meaning
Waiting to upload	Saved locally and waiting for a confirmed upload
Held for review	Received and waiting for a decision
In catalog	Live, but not yet verified
Verified or Published	Accepted into the shared result
Not accepted	Reviewed but not included
Not shared	The upload could not be confirmed

Pull down to refresh. A contribution that is waiting after a retryable connection or service-format problem remains safely queued on the device and gets another bounded delivery attempt when Orrique becomes active. If an older app version shows Not shared, update Orrique and choose Try Again. Review timing can vary, so a contribution may remain in the same state for a while.

Following your reports

Status	Meaning
Submitted	Received and awaiting completion
Needs your input	A curator asked for more detail
Resolved	Acted on
Reviewed, no change	Reviewed, but no catalog change was needed

A curator response appears with the report when one is available.
