Privacy Policy

silly ("silly", "we", "us") is a website (sillyindia.online) and Android app that helps adults find company for everyday plans — movies, coffee, travel, events and meetups — chat with people they connect with, book another user's time with Book Your Partner (or offer their own), and book event and meetup passes. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, who can see it, who we share it with, and the choices you have — including deleting your account and data.

silly is only for users aged 18 and over.

Camera: the app uses your camera only when you choose to take a profile photo, or when event staff scan a ticket QR code at the venue. Nothing is recorded in the background.

What other users can see

Your name, gender, photos, city, about me, what you are looking for, the event you plan to attend, any business details you added, and your verified tick. Your age is used to confirm you are 18+ and is not shown on your profile.
If you turn on "Earn as a partner": your plan and price, the places you can meet and your note.
A Book Your Partner booking (date, time, place, duration, message and status) is visible only to the booker and the partner. The amount paid and the partner's earning are shown to the person concerned.
Your phone number and email are never shown to other users. They are stored privately and only you and our support team can access them.
Chat messages are visible only to you and the person you are chatting with. Our team may review a conversation only when it is reported.

How we use your data

To create your account, sign you in and show your profile to other users.
To deliver partner requests, connections, chat and notifications.
To run Book Your Partner: send booking requests, open chat once a booking is accepted, refund bookers and credit partners' earnings to their wallet.
To let you know when a new version of the app is available.
To process bookings, issue QR e-tickets and let event staff verify them at entry.
To run subscriptions, the wallet, withdrawals, coupons and referral rewards.
To review photo verification requests, user reports and refunds, and to answer support requests.
To prevent fraud, fake accounts and misuse, and to enforce our Terms and Child Safety Standards.

We do not use your data for advertising, we do not sell it, and the app does not contain third-party ads or use an advertising ID.

Who we share data with

We use the following service providers to run silly. They process your data only to provide their service to us.

Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore database, Cloud Functions, Cloud Messaging, Hosting) — stores your account, profile, chats and bookings, and delivers notifications.
Razorpay — processes payments and refunds.
Cloudinary — stores and serves profile photos.
Event organizers and their entry staff — receive the attendee name and ticket details needed to admit you.
Authorities — when required by law, or to report child sexual abuse material and serious threats to safety.

Data security

All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest by Google Cloud. Access is restricted by security rules: phone numbers are readable only by their owner, and payments, tickets, wallet balances, subscriptions and verification are changed only by our servers, never from a user's device.

Your choices

Edit your profile and photos anytime from Profile → Edit Profile.
Block or report any user from the chat menu. Blocked users can no longer contact you.
Turn off notifications in your phone's settings.
Delete your account and data anytime from Profile → Delete Account, or via our account deletion page if you no longer have the app installed.

How long we keep data

We keep your data while your account is active. When you delete your account, we immediately delete your profile (including your Book Your Partner offer), photos list, phone number, tickets, wallet and transaction history, notifications, blocked list, verification request, referral code and sign-in credentials. We keep only:

Messages you sent, which stay in the other person's chat history (as on most messaging apps).
Payment, refund, withdrawal and Book Your Partner booking records required by Indian tax and accounting law, and to resolve disputes about a booking.
Reports about policy violations, to keep the community safe.
A one-way hashed (unreadable) form of your phone number or email, only to stop a referral code from being used twice. It cannot be turned back into your number.

Children's privacy

silly is not directed at, and must not be used by, anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors and delete accounts found to belong to them. See our Child Safety Standards for how we handle and report child safety concerns.
