Zuno Club is operated by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME], [REGISTERED ADDRESS], India ("Zuno Club", "we", "us"). We are the Data Fiduciary for the personal data described in this policy under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act").

| Profile and activity | Hosts and Clubs you follow, Clubs you join, posts, comments, reactions, and your participation in live audio rooms. |
| Conversations | Messages you send in 1:1 chats, and call details such as start and end time, duration and connection quality. Zuno Club does not record the audio or video of 1:1 calls. |

3. How we use it
- To run your account and provide chats, calls, Clubs and live rooms.
- To process payments, keep your Wallet accurate, issue refunds and pay Hosts.
- To recommend Hosts, Clubs and posts that match your interests.
- To keep people safe: verify Hosts, confirm you are 18 or older, detect spam, fraud and abuse, and review reports.
- To improve the app: fix bugs, understand which features help, and measure performance.
- To communicate with you about your account, transactions, safety and important changes. We send marketing messages only where you have agreed, and you can opt out at any time.
- To meet legal obligations, such as tax records, responding to lawful requests from authorities and resolving disputes.
We process your personal data on the basis of your consent, which you give when you sign up and use specific features, and for certain legitimate uses permitted under the DPDP Act, such as complying with law. You can withdraw consent at any time (see section 8); this will not affect processing already carried out, but some features may stop working.
4. What others can see
- Hosts and members see your name, profile photo and public profile, and any posts or comments you make in Clubs.
- A Host you talk to sees the messages you send them and your call with them.
- Your Following list is visible only if you choose to show it in your settings.
- Never shown to Hosts or members: your phone number, email, year of birth, Wallet balance or payment details.
5. Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only as needed with:
- Service providers who process data on our behalf under contract: cloud hosting, payment gateways, SMS and OTP providers, real-time chat, calling and audio infrastructure, crash reporting and analytics, customer support and identity verification partners.
- App stores and Google sign-in, when you download the app, make in-app purchases or sign in with Google.
- Authorities, when required by law, court order or a lawful request from a government agency, or when needed to protect someone's safety.
- A buyer or successor, if Zuno Club is involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. We will tell you before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
6. How long we keep it
We keep your personal data only as long as your account is active or as needed for the purposes above. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except where we need to keep certain records longer, for example:
- transaction and tax records, kept for the period required by Indian tax and accounting laws;
- information about reported content or accounts, kept as long as needed to investigate and prevent abuse; and
- data we must preserve under a legal obligation or court order.
Club posts that others have replied to may remain, shown as from a deleted account.
7. How we protect it
We use reasonable security safeguards, including encryption in transit, access controls that limit who on our team can see personal data, and regular security reviews. No system is perfectly secure, so please keep your device and login safe. If a personal data breach occurs that affects you, we will notify you and the Data Protection Board of India as required by law.
8. Your rights and choices
Under the DPDP Act and other applicable law, you can:
- Access a summary of the personal data we hold about you and how we use it;
- Correct or update inaccurate or incomplete data (most of it directly in Edit profile);
- Erase your data by deleting your account in Edit profile, or by asking us;
- Withdraw consent for processing that relies on consent;
- Nominate another person to exercise your rights in the event of your death or incapacity; and
- Raise a grievance with us, and if you are not satisfied with our response, complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
