Privacy Policy

This draft describes what PeerPul is designed to collect and why. The final policy, including legal bases, retention periods and your rights under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, will be published after legal review.

What we collect

• Your login email and a securely hashed password.
• Your date of birth, encrypted. We use it only to confirm you're 18 or over and to place you in a broad age band. It's never shown to other members.
• Your college or work email (from the verification step), encrypted and never shown to other members.
• The profile details you choose to add.
• Sign-in records such as the device type and a one-way hash of your network address, to keep your account secure.

What we don't collect

• Recordings or transcripts of calls.
• Your precise location.
• Your gender, unless a future feature asks and you choose to share it.

If you're under 18

PeerPul is for people 18 and over. If you enter a date of birth under 18 at sign-up, we stop immediately and don't save anything you entered.

Your choices

You'll be able to view and edit your profile, sign out of all devices, download your data and delete your account from Settings. Some of these controls arrive in later releases.
