1. Information We Collect
We collect personal information necessary to connect you with other users and verify profile authenticity. This includes:
Account Profiles
Registration profile details including name, username, age, bio descriptors, and profile photos. To comply with our community standard, accounts must maintain an 80%+ profile completion score.
Selfie Verification Data
When you request a verification badge, we collect a live facial image (selfie). This image is manually reviewed to verify identity and is not shared publicly.
Geographical & Communication Data
- Location coordinates: Used to filter matching stacks and virtual Buna neighborhood tables.
- Chat Logs: Message logs, debate answers, and matches stored securely inside Firebase to enable real-time messaging.
2. How We Use Information
Your data is processed to deliver a secure, personalized social network experience. Specifically, we use it to:
- Determine matchmaking scores based on your answers to Daily Debates and profile tags.
- Populate virtual Buna coffee table participant grids in your geographical neighborhood.
- Moderate profiles and process reports against accounts violating community guidelines.
- Validate transactions, subscription upgrades, and Buna token balances through secure processors.
4. Data Retention
We keep your personal information only as long as your account remains active.
If you delete your account, your profile metadata and matches are removed immediately. Backup logs, encrypted verification records, and chat logs are scrubbed from active production within 30 days, except where retention is legally required to resolve ongoing disputes or platform abuse.
5. Your Data Rights
You have full control over your personal information under data privacy laws. You can:
- Access and Export: Request a copy of the profile data and conversation metadata associated with your account.
- Edit: Modify or update your bio details, location settings, and photos at any time in the app.
- Delete: Delete your account, which immediately scrubs your profile from public view.
