• Profile Information: Photos, educational background, profession, family details, and preferences
• Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, IP address, browser type, and session information

• To detect and prevent fraud or misuse of our services

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information in the following limited cases only:

• With your explicit consent
• With trusted service providers (such as hosting, push-notification (OneSignal), analytics (Firebase), advertising (Google AdMob) and payment services) solely to operate the app
• When required by applicable law, regulation, or valid court order
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of Blushmee, our users, or the public

We ensure all third-party processors are contractually bound to keep your data confidential and use it only for the specified purpose.

5. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on secure servers. We implement industry-standard security measures including SSL encryption, secure sessions, and regular security audits. While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure.

6. Advertising & Payments

Advertising: Users on the free plan may be shown ads in the Blushmee Android app, including optional rewarded video ads and native ads, served by Google AdMob. Google and its partners may use your device's advertising ID and device/usage information to serve and measure ads, as described in Google's advertising policy. You can reset or opt out of personalised ads from your Android device settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads). Paid subscribers do not see ads.

Payments: Optional premium subscriptions are paid through a third-party payment gateway. We do not store your card, UPI or bank details; they are handled by the payment provider. We keep only the transaction record (plan, amount, date, status) needed to activate your subscription.

• Right to correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Right to request deletion of your account and data
• Right to withdraw consent for marketing communications

8. Cookies

We use essential cookies to maintain your session and keep you logged in. Advertising identifiers used by Google AdMob in the Android app are described in Section 6. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but this may affect the functionality of the platform.

12. Child Safety Standards

Blushmee has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) of any kind. Our platform is a matrimonial service intended solely for adults aged 18 and above, and this minimum age requirement is enforced at the time of registration and profile creation.

• We do not permit any account, profile, photo, message, or other content that sexualizes, endangers, or exploits minors, or that facilitates contact with minors for such purposes.
• Any profile or content suspected of violating this policy is investigated promptly. Confirmed violations result in immediate removal of the content and a permanent ban of the associated account.
• We cooperate fully with law enforcement agencies and, where legally required, report confirmed instances of CSAE to the relevant authorities, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) or local law enforcement, as applicable.
• Anyone can report suspected CSAE content or behavior at any time by emailing our Grievance Officer with the subject line "Child Safety Report". Such reports are treated as a priority and are reviewed within 24 hours.
