Privacy Policy

Version 2026-11-14 · effective 14 November 2026

In short

  • Faith, caste/gotra, your exact contact details and your surname are yours to share or not. They're off unless you turn them on.
  • Caste/gotra is never used to filter or rank anyone. Religion is used for matching only if you opt in.
  • godhulisajh's AI learns from how you use the app unless you switch it off, and never reads your messages unless you opt in.
  • We don't sell your data, and there are no ads or analytics trackers.
  • You can download everything we hold about you, or delete your account, at any time in Privacy & your data.

1. Who we are

This app is run by godhulisajh, [JURISDICTION] ("we", "us"). We decide how your personal data is used, so we're responsible for it (the "controller" under the GDPR and similar laws). You can reach us at [CONTACT EMAIL].

2. What we collect and why

  • Your Google sign-in: your name, email address, Google profile photo link and Google account id. To create your account and sign you in. We get nothing else from Google.
  • Your birthday: we check you're 18 or over, then keep only the year, to match people within the age ranges you both chose. Nobody else sees it.
  • The Vibe Check: your answers and the Vibe Card made from them. To show who you are and to suggest people you might get on with. Answers given before you sign in are kept for 7 days, unlinked to anyone, unless you sign in and keep them.
  • Your profile: name, pronouns, bio, what you're looking for, city and country, languages, lifestyle answers (diet, drinking, smoking, kids), photos, and anything you choose to add in section 3. To show you to people and match you. Lifestyle answers are never shown to anyone: they're used only for matching and the dealbreakers you set.
  • Selfie verification: a selfie, checked by a person at godhulisajh against your main photo, so others can trust you're real. Only people who are verified are shown in picks.
  • Who you want to meet: your match preferences, dealbreakers and safety switches (such as "only verified people").
  • What you do in the app: the picks you're shown, likes and passes, matches, chat requests, and what you share with a match (photos, contact details). To run matching and keep things fair.
  • Messages: what you and your matches write. To deliver them, and, when one of you reports the other, so godhulisajh's moderators can read them to review that report. Message text is never written to our logs.
  • Safety: the people you block, reports you file or that are filed about you (with a snapshot of what was reported), and any moderation decision. To keep everyone safe.
  • Hide from people you know and travel mode: a scrambled fingerprint of the contacts you hide from, made on your device so we never see their email or number; and the city and dates of a trip while it lasts.
  • Notifications: your email settings and, if you turn on browser notifications, your browser's push address.
  • godhulisajh+: whether you have a subscription and its status. Payments go through Stripe: we never see or store your card.
  • Technical data: your time zone (from your browser, or the one you pick, so the daily picks arrive at 18:00 your time) and your sign-in sessions. Your IP address is used briefly to limit abuse and isn't kept with your account.

We use this data to provide the service you signed up for (our contract with you), to keep people safe and the service secure (our legitimate interest and legal duties), and, where section 3 or 4 says so, only with your consent.

3. Faith, caste and other sensitive details

Religion, caste/gotra, your surname and your contact details are sensitive. They are always your choice. (We never ask for your exact location: only the city and country you type.)

  • You can leave them out, and leaving them out never counts against you.
  • Religion and caste/gotra are shown to a match only if you switch "show" on for that field; never on your public Vibe Card or anywhere outside the app.
  • Caste/gotra is never used to filter or rank anyone, whatever you choose.
  • Religion (and the Vibe Check's faith answers) are used for matching or by the AI only if you opt in under "What godhulisajh learns"; that opt-in is off by default.
  • Your surname, contact details and photos beyond your main one are shared only when you share them with a match, or say yes when a match asks.
  • None of them is ever written to our logs.

4. godhulisajh's AI and your consent

godhulisajh's AI coach runs on business-os, a partner system that powers godhulisajh's AI (it is still being launched). The AI is a coach only: it answers when you open it, and it never sends messages for you, messages your matches or pretends to be you or anyone else. It may flag an account it suspects is fake or unsafe, but a person at godhulisajh makes every decision.

You choose what it may learn, in "What godhulisajh learns" (settings):

  • How you use the app (who you like, skip, match and message, never what you write): on unless you switch it off.
  • What your messages say: off unless you opt in, and read only for conversations where everyone in them opted in.
  • Faith and caste/gotra: off unless you opt in (see section 3).

While "How you use the app" is on, business-os can read your profile and Vibe Card (never faith, caste/gotra, contact details, your surname, birth year or email). When we tell it that something happened (a new match, a message sent, a profile change), we send ids and times only, never names or text, and nothing about someone who switched that learning off. Reports are shared with it for safety whatever you chose. We keep a history of your consent choices while your account exists, as proof of what you agreed to.

5. Who sees what

  • People you're shown to see your name, city, what you're looking for, your public Vibe Card, the verified mark and your main photo (or a blur, if you chose it).
  • Your matches also see your bio, pronouns and languages, and anything you choose to show or share with them.
  • Your shared Vibe Card link shows your card only: never your name, age, faith, caste/gotra or scores.
  • godhulisajh's moderators see what's needed to review a report or a selfie, and each time one of them opens a report is recorded. Reporting lets our team read your conversation with this person: while the report is open, godhulisajh's moderators can read the messages between the two of you (never your conversations with anyone else). Once it's closed, they're hidden from them. Reading them doesn't copy them anywhere or send them to godhulisajh's AI.
  • Someone you block, or who blocks you, no longer sees you; nobody is told who reported them.

6. Who we share data with

We never sell your data. We use these providers to run godhulisajh:

  • Google: sign-in.
  • Stripe: godhulisajh+ payments (they hold your card, not us).
  • Resend: sending our emails.
  • Cloudflare R2: storing photos and selfies.
  • Your browser's push service (Google, Apple, Mozilla or Microsoft, depending on your browser): delivering browser notifications, which never name anyone.
  • business-os: godhulisajh's AI, as section 4 describes.
  • [HOSTING PROVIDER]: running our servers and database.

Some of them are outside your country. Where the law requires it we rely on safeguards such as the EU's Standard Contractual Clauses [TO BE CONFIRMED]. We may also disclose data when the law requires it, or to protect someone from serious harm.

7. How long we keep it

  • Your account and profile: until you delete your account. Deletion starts at once and removes everything (photo and selfie files 7 days later, see below) except what "Reports" below keeps, here and (once their side supports it) at business-os. A godhulisajh+ record goes once Stripe has deleted your customer record there.
  • Messages: when a match ends, the conversation is hidden from both people at once and deleted 30 days later, so a report can still be filed. It's kept longer only while a report about it is open.
  • Reports: kept after either person deletes their account, with the deleted person's id removed; a reported pair's messages stay with an open report until it's closed.
  • Your verification selfie: removed once it's approved; kept while it waits for review and after a rejection, so the decision can be checked.
  • Photo and selfie files: when a photo or selfie is removed, including when you delete your account, nobody can see it in the app any more from that moment. The file itself stays in our private storage (Cloudflare R2) for 7 more days, then it's permanently deleted.
  • Travel mode: a trip's city and dates stop being used when the trip ends and are erased within a day.
  • Vibe Check answers before sign-in: 7 days, unless you sign in and keep them.
  • Consent history: while your account exists.
  • Still being decided [RETENTION PENDING]: how long closed reports and their snapshots are kept, photos held as evidence for a report, the data of a banned account (kept today, nothing deleted), closed AI flags, the account details kept so an under-18 block holds, the history of picks and photo sharing after a match ends, and server logs and backups. This section will say before launch.

8. Your rights

Wherever you live, you can:

  • Get a copy of everything we hold about you: "Download my data" in Privacy & your data.
  • Delete your account in the same place, without passing the age check first. If you can't sign in (for example after a ban), email [CONTACT EMAIL].
  • Correct your details by editing your profile.
  • Withdraw consent any time in "What godhulisajh learns".
  • Object or ask us to restrict how we use your data: write to [CONTACT EMAIL].
  • Complain to your data protection authority, such as the one in your country of residence.

9. Cookies we use

Only what's needed for godhulisajh to work. No analytics, no advertising and no third-party trackers; our fonts are hosted by us, so no font service sees you either. That's why there's no cookie banner.

  • _lamidai_key: your session. Keeps you signed in, protects forms against forgery, and holds your Vibe Check before you sign in. Ends when you close the browser.
  • _lamidai_user_remember_me: keeps you signed in for up to 30 days; removed when you sign out.
  • phx:theme (stored in your browser, not a cookie): your light or dark choice. It never leaves your device.

If we ever add anything optional, we'll ask first.

10. 18+ only

godhulisajh is only for people 18 and over. If you tell us you're under 18, we block the account at once and delete its profile, photos, selfie and Vibe Check (the photo and selfie files from our storage 7 days later, as in section 7). We keep your Google account id, email and name only so the block holds [RETENTION PENDING].

11. Changes to this policy

Each version has a date. When we change something that matters, we'll ask you to read and accept the new version the next time you open godhulisajh.
