Privacy notice

Updated November 5, 2026. Events and Blind Date use your existing Play Garba account, login and profile. Joining an event requires a separate visibility choice.

Information we use

Google confirms your identity. Your account identifier, name and verified email are used in private sessions. Google passwords and OAuth access, refresh and ID tokens are not stored by this app. You choose profile details, photos, event visibility and Friends/Dating purpose. Social usernames and college are optional. Requests, messages, reports and privacy choices are stored to operate these features.

What others see

Compatible members at events you explicitly join can see your chosen name, age, bio, photos, interests and self-reported college/ticket status. Birth dates and account emails are excluded from discovery. Social usernames require an accepted connection and your sharing choice. Revoking a link cannot erase information someone already copied outside this app.

Cookies and providers

A first-party HttpOnly cookie keeps you signed in, with a separate short-lived sign-in challenge. Sessions renew for up to 30 days and expire at most 90 days from issue. Google processes sign-in; AWS processes application storage and delivery. Application records and photos are stored in AWS Mumbai, India; delivery uses global edge locations. This app does not enable advertising pixels or analytics trackers. Existing Play Garba pages have their own notice. We do not collect your continuous or live location.

Export and deletion

Privacy settings provide data export, photo removal, visibility withdrawal, sharing controls, blocking and permanent account deletion. Deletion hides your profile first, then removes photos, shared conversations and account/session data in resumable steps. A minimal pseudonymous deletion marker prevents old sessions restoring an account. Safety reports are scheduled to expire after 30 days; provider cleanup can follow that expiry. Backups may retain older records for up to 35 days. Images already saved by others cannot be recalled.

Contact

Contact the team through Play Garba for access or privacy questions. Signing in does not enroll you in event discovery, dating or marketing; visibility requires a separate explicit choice.

Blind Date, when available

Before mutual reveal, your partner sees an alias, age, selected interests and prompt answers, but not your profile name, photos or social accounts. Text you send may identify you, and previous profile exposure cannot be undone. Blind chat authors are shown as you or your partner. After mutual Continue, the chat becomes a normal dating conversation and your existing social-sharing choices apply. Closed blind-session records stay with your account until deletion. Export includes your enrollment and accessible conversation records without exposing a hidden partner’s identity. Reports may preserve a restricted copy of recent messages for the stated safety-report retention period.
