Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 October 2026

This policy explains what personal data the KuchuPuchu app ("KuchuPuchu", "we") collects, why, and the choices you have. KuchuPuchu is operated by Ravionex Industries Pvt Ltd, India. By using the app you agree to this policy.

1. Who can use KuchuPuchu

KuchuPuchu is only for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we learn that a user is under 18, we delete the account.

2. Data we collect

• Account data: your email address and/or phone number, used to sign in (Google Sign-In, email or phone OTP through Firebase Authentication).
• Profile data you provide: name, date of birth (we show only your age), gender, who you want to meet, relationship intention, bio, job, interests, prompt answers, lifestyle details and profile photos.
• Verification selfie: if you choose to get verified, a live selfie that our moderators compare with your profile photos. The selfie is never shown to other users.
• Approximate location: if you allow it, your city and a rounded location (about 10 km accuracy) used to show distance and nearby people. We do not store your exact GPS position.
• Activity: likes, passes, matches, messages and photos you send in chat, blocks and reports.
• Purchases: if you buy Premium, Google Play processes the payment. We receive only the subscription status, plan and expiry date, never your card, UPI or bank details.
• Technical data: basic device and app information and crash/error logs needed to keep the service working.

3. How we use your data

• To create your account and show your profile to compatible members.
• To suggest people based on gender preference, intention, interests and distance.
• To deliver likes, matches and messages between matched members.
• To verify profiles, review reports, and prevent fake accounts, scams, harassment and underage use.
• To keep the service secure and fix problems.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your messages for advertising.

4. Who can see your data

• Other members see your public profile: first name, age, gender, city/distance, bio, job, interests, prompts, lifestyle, photos and verification badge. They never see your email, phone number, exact date of birth or verification selfie.
• Your matches also see the messages and photos you send them.
• Our moderators can access account data, verification selfies and reported content to keep the community safe.
• Service providers: we use Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore and Cloud Storage, operated by Google) to store and process data on our behalf.
• Legal reasons: we may share data when required by Indian law or a valid legal request.

5. How long we keep data

We keep your data while your account is active. When you delete your account, we delete your profile, profile photos and private account data straight away. Messages you already sent may remain visible to the person you sent them to in a closed chat. Reports and moderation records may be kept for up to 12 months for safety and legal reasons.

6. Your choices and rights

• Edit your profile and photos at any time in the app.
• Turn off location permission in your phone settings.
• Unmatch, block or report anyone from their profile or chat.
• Delete your account in the app: Profile → Delete account. You can also ask us to delete it by email (see how to delete your account).
• Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you can ask us to access, correct or erase your data, and you can withdraw consent. Write to us at the address below.

7. Security

Data is sent over encrypted connections and stored with Google Firebase. Access is controlled by security rules so that private data is only available to you and our moderators. No method is 100% secure, so please keep your sign-in details safe.

8. Grievance Officer

For questions, complaints or data requests, contact our Grievance Officer at ritbyrg@gmail.com. We aim to respond within 7 days and resolve complaints within 30 days.

9. Changes

We may update this policy. If the changes are important, we will tell you in the app before they take effect.
