2b. Location data (Google Play disclosure)
What we collectWith your permission, Koovira collects approximate (coarse) and, where you grant it, precise (fine) location only while the app is in use. We do not collect background location.
WhyTo show you nearby businesses, listings, delivery and courier matches, services, trainers, nearby people/professionals you have opted into, map pins, local search results, and to pre-fill shipping/pickup addresses. For partner apps (Driver / Courier / Local / Truck) location is used to match jobs to on-duty operators and to show route progress to the customer during an active job.
Who it is shared withWithin Koovira, with the business, driver, delivery partner, service provider or counterparty the current action requires. We do not use location for advertising. We do not sell location data. We do not share location with third parties for marketing.
RetentionRaw per-session location points are kept only for the duration of the session that produced them and the completion of the related task. Aggregated, non-identifying location analytics may be retained for product improvement.
ControlYou can revoke the location permission at any time from your device: Settings → Apps → Koovira → Permissions → Location. Features that need location fall back to your saved city or to the manual search bar.
Account deletionLocation data linked to your account is deleted when you delete your account via Account & Data Deletion, except for records retained under limited exceptions (tax, payment, KYC, fraud, dispute and legal-hold).
3. Platform controls and compliance handling

Google User Data & Limited Use

When you connect your Google account to Koovira (an optional feature), we access only the data you explicitly authorise on Google's official consent screen:

  • Basic profile & email (openid, email, profile) — to sign you in and identify your Koovira account.
  • Google Contacts, read-only (contacts.readonly) — to help you find and invite people you already know who are on Koovira. We never message your contacts automatically; sending an invite is always an explicit action you take.
  • Google Calendar events (calendar.events) — to add schedules, bookings, interviews and appointments you create in Koovira to your Google Calendar, and to update or cancel them when you change them in Koovira.

Koovira's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not sell Google user data, do not use it for advertising or to train generalised AI/ML models, and do not transfer it to third parties except as necessary to provide a feature you requested, to comply with applicable law, or with your explicit consent. Human access to Google user data is prohibited except with your consent, for security/abuse handling, or where required by law.

Disconnecting & Deleting Your Data

You are in full control of connected accounts and imported data:

  • Disconnect any time from Settings → Connected Apps & Permissions. Disconnecting immediately deletes the stored access and refresh tokens and stops all syncing.
  • Revoke from Google at any time via your Google Account permissions page.
  • Delete imported contacts from within Koovira.
  • Delete your Koovira account and all associated data from Settings → Security → Delete My Profile, or by writing to us at support@koovira.com.

Updated 2026-06-27 to reflect new platform features.

Connected accounts & external integrations

If you choose to connect an external account (for example Google or Instagram) for sign-in, contact import, calendar sync or content import, we request only the permissions needed for the feature you enabled, and we store the access tokens in encrypted form. You can disconnect any integration at any time; disconnecting stops further data exchange.

Content you import

When you import your own content from a connected social account, we process only the content from accounts you personally authorise, solely to re-create it in your chosen Koovira format. We do not access other people's accounts.

Automated processing & AI

We use automated systems, including a local-first AI assistant, for safety moderation, search, recommendations and support. Your personal data is not sold and is not sent to third-party model vendors for training. See our AI Transparency Policy for details.

Your three profiles (Social, Professional and Dating)

Your Koovira account can hold three separate profiles — Social, Professional and Dating — each stored as its own record with its own display name, audience and privacy controls. Activity on one profile is not publicly linked to another. Your Dating profile is kept isolated: it is never shown in public discovery, never featured or promoted, never exposed through our developer APIs, and never indexed by search engines. It is protected by an additional PIN.

Confessions

Confessions lets you post and comment anonymously to the community. By default your name is not shown to any other member on your confession or its comments. For safety and to meet legal obligations, we record which account posted each confession and comment, but we never reveal that identity to other members in any part of the product. We ask you not to name real people, phone numbers or handles; such content is automatically screened and may be blocked, and our moderators can remove content that breaks our rules. Confessions is for members aged 18 and over and is separate from the Dating product. If you report a confession, we use your report and the stored author information only to review and act on the content.

Promoting your profile or listings

If you choose to boost your profile or a listing, we use the public information on that profile or listing to show it to more members as promoted content, and we measure impressions and clicks so we can report the promotion's performance to you. Promotions are paid from your Koovira Credits, and the amount is always shown before you confirm. You can promote your Social or Professional profile; Dating profiles are never promoted. We do not use promotion to reveal any information that is not already visible on the promoted profile or listing.

Developer APIs and third-party access

Developers who build on Koovira can access our APIs under scoped, revocable credentials. Our developer APIs expose only public, non-personal information — for example public business reputation and public community listings. Members' personal profiles, personal social activity and personal reputation are not available through the developer APIs. Each API scope is limited to a specific purpose, and access is logged.

Grievance & DPDP

In line with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may exercise access, correction, and erasure rights, and contact our Grievance Officer using the details at the end of this policy.
