Vibrant Goa App Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 October 2026

This policy explains what information the Vibrant Goa mobile app (“the App”) collects, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. The App is operated by the Vibrant Goa Foundation (“we”, “us”). If you have any question about this policy, write to info@vibrantgoa.com.

This policy covers the App only. Our website has its own website privacy policy.

1. Information you give us

Account details: your mobile number (used to sign in with a one-time code), or your Google or Apple sign-in, and your email address.
Profile details: name, bio, date of birth, gender, country, state and city, current role, company, industry, what you are looking for, additional information, past work experience, interests, an optional LinkedIn link, and profile photos.
Content you create: chat messages and the photos, videos and files you send in chat, meeting requests and the times and places you are available to meet, business opportunities you post, messages you send when you express interest in an opportunity, and photos of visiting cards you choose to save.
Event details: events you join, including with an event code.
Purchases: if you buy a subscription, a record of the purchase. Payments are processed by Google Play or the Apple App Store; we never receive your card details.

2. Information collected automatically

Location: if you allow it, your device location when you check in at an event, used only to confirm you are at the venue. It is never shown to other members. You can turn location off at any time in your phone settings; the rest of the App keeps working.
Device information: a notification token so we can send you push notifications, and basic device and app version information.
Crash and diagnostic data: crash reports and performance data, used to find and fix problems.
Activity in the App: actions such as connections, profile views, meetings and interest in opportunities, used to run these features and to show you statistics such as how many people viewed your opportunity.

3. How we use your information

To create and secure your account and sign you in.
To show your profile to other members, and to suggest relevant people, events and opportunities.
To run messaging, meeting scheduling, events and business opportunities.
To send you notifications and service emails, for example when someone requests a meeting or when your opportunity is approved.
To review posted opportunities and reported content, prevent fraud and abuse, and keep the community safe.
To fix bugs and improve the App.

We do not sell your personal information and we do not show advertising in the App.

4. What other members can see

Your profile (name, photos, role, company, industry, interests, what you are looking for, work experience, bio and LinkedIn link) is visible to other signed-in members, except where an event is private, in which case event members see each other and outsiders do not. Your mobile number and email address are not shown to other members.

5. Who we share information with

We share information only with service providers who process it on our behalf and under our instructions:

Google Firebase (sign-in, push notifications, crash reporting, app security checks).
Our cloud hosting provider, which stores the App’s data and photos.
Our email delivery provider, for service emails.
Google Play and the Apple App Store, for purchases.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our members.

6. How long we keep information

We keep your information while your account is active. When you delete your account, your profile is removed from the App straight away and your personal information is deleted from our systems within 30 days, except where we must keep certain records, such as purchase records, to meet legal or tax obligations.

7. Deleting your account

You can delete your account inside the App: open My Profile, tap the edit icon, open the menu (three dots) and choose Delete Profile. You can also request deletion on our account deletion page.

8. Your choices and rights

Edit your profile at any time in the App.
Turn off location or notifications in your phone settings.
Block or report any member from their profile.
Ask us for a copy of your information, or to correct or delete it, by writing to info@vibrantgoa.com.

9. Security

All data between the App and our servers is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Access to personal information is limited to people who need it to run the service.

10. Age

The App is for professionals aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

11. Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date above and, for significant changes, tell you in the App.
