Who I am

Damini Rijhwani (“I”, “me”, “my”) built the App as a Free application.This service is provided by Damini Rijhwani  (“me”) at no cost and is intended for use as is. This page is used to inform visitors regarding my policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decided to use my Service. If you choose to use my Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The Personal Information that I collect is used for providing and improving the Service.  The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in my Terms and Conditions.

The information that I request will be retained on your device and is not collected by me in any way. The app does use third-party services that may collect information used to identify you.

It is your responsibility to make sure that your account details and the information you provide to use is kept up-to date. If your phone number changes, currently you would need to delete this account and sign up for a new one.

The information I collect helps to enhance the App and verify my Users.  Content such as your name and username may be visible to other Users who view your profile page.

Profile Information

I highly recommend and encourage you and all the members of my app to be careful about the information you disclose about yourself. I recommend you do not put email address, phone numbers, links (or URLs), instant messaging information, full names, addresses, credit card details, social security numbers and national identification numbers, drivers license, state identification numbers, REAL ID numbers and any other sensitive information which is open to abuse and misuse on your profile.

When you interact with other users through the messaging function or post information about yourself, the personal information you share is at your own risk.

Profile Verification Information (Including Biometric Information)

To secure and protect you, and to make sure you have a good experience using this app, I require Users to verify accounts and may ask you for your phone number and in some cases send a code to your newly provided phone number to be validated and authenticate your identity. I may also ask you to complete a photo verification to fully attempt to mitigate bots from using the app. But more importantly I want to make sure I can try my best to reduce fake Accounts being used for suspicious and malicious activities and cybercrime.

Geolocation Information

The App doesn’t access your location from your device settings, I simply ask you your location and expect you have chosen the correct location and intend to use the app from your correct location. This is expected as stated in the terms and condition. However the use of GPS location may change in the future.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT DISCLOSURES

Service Providers

I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to me (“Service Providers”). The suppliers with which I share User personal data vary depending on a variety of factors, such as which of my App, Sites and services a User engages with. For example, to provide my services to Users, I typically use the following suppliers:

  1. Authentication services – to allow customers to authenticate their account (for example, Amazon cognito)
  2. Data Storage Services - to allow User Content and “Other User Content to be stored.
  3. AWS Lambda data access services -  to allow users data to be accessed

I may employ third-party companies and individuals due to the following reasons:

  1. To facilitate my Service;
  2. To provide the Service on my behalf;
  3. To perform Service-related services; or
  4. To assist me in analyzing how my Service is used.

I want to inform users of this Service that these third parties have access to their Personal Information. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on my behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose. I use the following suppliers:

I carry out due diligence on all Service Providers I engage to ensure that I have adequate data protection and information security measures in place and only provide them with the personal data necessary to the service they are providing. Measures are taken to ensure that the data shared is non- attributable to the greatest extent possible and my suppliers are also subject to extensive obligations under my contractual arrangements, including strict data retention limits.

WHAT OTHERS MAY SEE ABOUT YOU.

The main aim of this App is to engage and interact with other users, so I have built certain features to enable this.

When using the App, you should assume that anything you post or submit on the app may be publicly viewable and accessible, to both Users and non-users of the App. You should be careful about posting information that may eventually be public. Be careful about posting sensitive details about yourself on your profile such as your religious denomination, health details. You may also choose to add sensitive information about yourself when you add certain traits such as sports you play, but be careful to moderate information about where you play sports. Please remember that adding sports trait is necessary for the functionality of the services and engagement with users.

Additionally, remember that photographs you post on the App may reveal information about yourself. If you do upload and choose to tell me sensitive information about yourself, including through the addition of sports traits to your profile, you are explicitly consenting to my processing of this information and making it public to other Users. You are also explicitly consenting to my processing of photographs and making it public to Users and non-users. Your photographs may be viewed and shared by Users with individuals who may or may not be users of the App.

If you log in to or access the App through a device you share with others, remember to log out of the App and the relevant third-party account when you leave the device in order to prevent other users from accessing your Account.

If you are less than 18 years old, I request that you do not submit information to me. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided me with personal information, please contact me so that I will be able to do the necessary actions.
