Privacy Policy

In simple words

Milap is a dating and friendship app for college students aged 18 and above, operated by Milap. This page tells you what information we collect, why we collect it, and what you can do about it. We keep it simple and honest.

What we collect

• Your name, email and mobile number (+91) — to create and verify your account.
• Your date of birth — to make sure you are 18 or older.
• Your gender and who you want to meet — to show you the right people.
• Your college, course and year — to verify you are a real student.
• Your photos and one live selfie — for your profile and identity check.
• Your bio, interests and answers to questions — to match you better.
• Your chats with matches — so the chat works.

We do not collect your payment details, contacts, health data, or your exact GPS location. We only know your college city and state, which you choose yourself.

How we use it

• To create your account and keep you logged in.
• To verify you are a real student of a real college.
• To show you compatible people and work out your match percentage.
• To run the chat between you and your matches.
• To keep the app safe — finding fakes, spam and bad behaviour.
• To send you important emails (like your one-time code).

Your photos stay private

Your photos are blurred to everyone until you and another person both like each other. Only then does that one person see your photo. We never make your profile public, and it does not show up on Google.

A note on chats

Chats are stored on our servers so they can be delivered. Our safety team may look at a chat only if someone reports it, or to catch spam and fraud. We do not read chats for advertising (we don't run ads). Please don't share passwords, bank details or intimate photos in chat.

Who we share with

We never sell your data. We only use trusted services to run the app: Supabase (database), Cloudflare (photo storage and AI questions), Stackmail (email) and Vercel (website). They keep your data only to do their job for us. Your email, phone number and exact location are never shown to other users.

How long we keep it

We keep your data while your account is active. When you delete your account, we remove your profile, photos, matches, chats and answers within 30 days. Your one-time code is deleted automatically after 3 minutes.

Your choices

• See what we have — email us and we'll send a summary.
• Fix mistakes — edit your profile any time.
• Delete everything — delete your account in the app, or at our deletion page.
• Stop using the app — just delete your account.

Security

Your data is encrypted when it travels and when it is stored. Passwords are stored as hashes, never in plain text. If anything ever goes wrong, we will tell you and the right authorities right away.

18 and above only

Milap is only for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we find an under-18 account, we delete it immediately.
