Privacy Policy

VYBA is a social app for voice rooms, 5-minute conversations, chat and calls. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. It follows India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the IT Rules, 2021.

What we collect

• Phone number to log you in with a one-time code. We store it in a protected (hashed) form.
• Profile: name, username, gender, date of birth (to confirm you are 18+), state, languages, interests, bio and avatar.
• Verification selfie, only if you choose to verify. It is deleted after review.
• Messages, voice messages, room chat and Moments you send, so they can be delivered and kept for you.
• Calls and voice rooms: we keep who called whom, when and for how long, and the coins used. We do not record call or room audio or video.
• Payments: the pack you bought and its status. Card, UPI and bank details are handled by our payment partner Razorpay; we never see or store them.
• Device and usage: a device identifier for your login session, app version, and basic activity (for example rooms joined) used for features like levels, streaks and safety.

Why we use it

• To run the app: login, matching, chat, rooms, calls, coins and rewards.
• To keep people safe: detect abuse, spam, scams and under-age users, review reports and enforce our rules.
• To fix problems and improve VYBA.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not show third-party ads based on your data.

Who we share it with

• Service providers that run VYBA for us: hosting and database, voice and video delivery, SMS for login codes, Razorpay for payments, and AI services used for safety checks and the VYBA AI companion. They may use the data only to provide their service.
• Other users see what you choose to show: your profile, posts in rooms, and messages you send them.
• Authorities, when Indian law requires it.

Your choices and rights

• Download a copy of your data: Settings → Account → Download my data.
• Correct your profile at any time.
• Control who can see or reach you: Settings → Privacy (online status, messages, calls, gifts, followers, read receipts, age, Nearby).
• Delete your account: Settings → Account → Delete account. Your profile is removed and your personal details are erased; some records (payments, safety reports) are kept as long as the law requires.

How long we keep data

We keep your data while your account is active. After deletion we erase or anonymise it, except records we must keep for legal, tax or safety reasons.

Age

VYBA is only for people aged 18 and over. Accounts found to belong to anyone younger are closed.

Security

Data is sent over encrypted connections and access is limited to people who need it. No system is perfectly secure, so please never share your login code with anyone.

Grievances

Grievance Officer: Mr. Architect, vyba.support26@gmail.com. We acknowledge complaints within 24 hours and resolve them within 15 days.

Changes

If we change this policy in an important way, we will tell you in the app.
