Welcome to our Privacy Policy. Thank you for taking the time to read it.
We appreciate that you trust us with your information and we intend to always keep that trust.
This starts with making sure you understand the information we collect, why we collect it,
how it is used and your choices regarding your information. This Policy describes
our privacy practices in plain language, keeping legal and technical jargon to a minimum.
This Privacy Policy applies to apps and other services we
operate under the babul brand. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as
our “services” in this Privacy Policy.
Some services may require their own unique privacy policy. If a service has
its own privacy policy, then that policy -- not this Privacy Policy -- applies.
It goes without saying, we can’t help you develop meaningful connections without
some information about you, such as basic profile details and the types of people
you’d like to meet. We also collect information about your use of our services such
as access logs, as well as information from third parties, like when you access our
services through your social media account or when you upload information from your
social media account to
complete your profile. If you want additional info, we go into more detail below.
When you download the App and create an account (“Account”), we may collect certain information (“Registration Information”) about you, such as:
We recommend and encourage you (and all our members) to think carefully
about the information you disclose about yourself. We also do not recommend
that you put email addresses, URLs, instant messaging details, phone numbers,
full names or addresses, credit card details, national identity numbers,
drivers’ licence details and other sensitive information which is open to
abuse and misuse on your profile.
When you post information about yourself or use the messaging function to communicate
with other Users, the amount of personal information you share is at your own risk.
You choose to give us certain information when using our services. This includes:
▪
When you create an account, you provide us with at least your phone number and email address,
as well as some basic details necessary for
the service to work,
such as your gender, date of birth, and who you’d like to connect with.
▪
When you complete your profile, you have the option to share your sexual orientation with us.
Where you provide such elements to us, you consent to us using it for the purposes identified
and as laid out in this Privacy Policy. You can also share additional information with us,
such as details on your bio and your interests, as well as content such as photos and videos.
To add certain content,
like pictures or videos, you may allow us to access your camera or photo album.
▪
If you share with us information about other people (for example, if you use contact details of a
friend for a given feature), we process this information on your behalf in order to complete
your request.
▪
Of course, we also process your chats with other members as well as the content you publish to
operate and secure the services, and to keep our community safe.
In addition to the information you may provide us directly, we receive information about
you from others, including:
▪ Members: Members may provide information about you as they use our services, for instance as
they interact with you or if they submit a report involving you.
▪
Social Media: You may decide to share information with us through your social media account,
for instance if you decide to create and log into your account via your social media or other
account (e.g., Facebook, Google or Apple) or to upload onto our services information such as
photos from one of your social media accounts.
▪
Other Partners: We may receive information about you from our partners where our ads are published on a partner’s service (in which case they may pass along details on a campaign’s success). Where legally allowed, we can also receive information about suspected or convicted
bad actors from third parties as part of our efforts to ensure our members’ safety and
security.
You share information with other members when you voluntarily disclose information on the service (including your public profile). Please be careful with your information and make sure that the content you share is stuff that you’re comfortable being visible.
If you choose to limit the audience for all or part of your profile or for certain content or information about you, then it will be visible according to your settings.
If someone submits a report involving you (such as a claim you violated our Terms of Use), we may communicate to the reporter actions, if any, we took as a result of their report.
You may choose to share other members’ profiles and they may share yours with people outside of our services, using the sharing functionality.
We may transfer your information if we are involved, whether in whole or in part, in a merger, sale, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy or other change of ownership or control.
We may disclose your information if reasonably necessary: (i) to comply with a legal process, such as a court order, subpoena or search warrant, government / law enforcement investigation or other legal requirements; (ii) to assist in the prevention or detection of crime (subject in each case to applicable law); or (iii) to protect the safety of any person.
We may also share information: (i) if disclosure would mitigate our liability in an actual or threatened lawsuit; (ii) as necessary to protect our legal rights and legal rights of our members, business partners or other interested parties; (iii) to enforce our agreements with you; and (iv) to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing.
We may ask for your consent to share your information with third parties. In any such case, we will make it clear why we want to share the information.
We want you to be in control of your information, so we want to remind you of the following options and tools available to you:
We also want you to be aware of your privacy rights. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
Because we’re always looking for new and innovative ways to help you build meaningful connections and strive to make sure explanations about our data practices remain up-to-date, this policy may change over time. We will notify you before any material changes take effect so that you have time to review the changes.
