Welcome to Partner Community (also referred to as "Sangath Partner", "we", "us", or "our"). We are dedicated to maintaining the privacy, security, and trust of our community across our Android and iOS applications.
1. Summary of Core Principles
- Zero In-App Chat Tracking or Spam: We use an explicit double-opt-in matching system. We do not maintain in-app chat backlogs or track unrequested messages.
- Phone Number Confidentiality: Your phone number is strictly used for secure OTP verification via Firebase Authentication and is never displayed publicly to other users.
- Protected Social Handles: Instagram handles and contact points are locked behind database Row-Level Security (RLS) and shared only when both members mutually accept a match request.
- Zero Data Selling: We do not sell, rent, or monetize your personal data to third parties or advertising brokers.
2. Information We Collect
When you register and use Partner Community, we collect the following categories of information:
A. Account & Verification Data
- Phone Number: Collected during sign-up for OTP verification via Firebase Authentication.
- Profile Details: Your chosen display name, age/birthdate (to verify 18+ eligibility), gender, city/location preference, and bio.
- Profile Photos: Images uploaded to showcase your profile to prospective festival and event companions.
- Social Handles (Optional): Your Instagram username, protected and only unlocked upon mutual match confirmation.
B. Purchases & Subscription Data
- Subscriptions & In-App Purchases: We use RevenueCat to manage in-app subscriptions and unlock premium features. RevenueCat processes anonymous app user IDs, transaction identifiers, purchase history, and entitlement statuses. Payments are securely processed directly by Google Play or Apple App Store. We do not store or process your credit card or financial numbers.
C. Usage and Diagnostics Data
- Interactions: Partner requests sent, received, and mutual matches formed.
- Technical & Diagnostic Information: Device model, OS version, app version, crash logs, and performance metrics collected via Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Analytics to maintain app stability and eliminate bugs.

5. Data Security & Storage
