Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Instayaar, operated by Joshful Apps Private Limited (“Instayaar”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you access or use our website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”).

Instayaar is built on trust. Because the Platform facilitates real-world human interactions, we take privacy, safety, and data protection seriously. By using the Platform, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Our Approach to Privacy

Instayaar operates in a sensitive space involving companionship, emotional well-being, and personal safety. We collect only the information necessary to operate the Platform responsibly, verify users, and deliver a safe experience. We do not sell personal data or use it for unrelated purposes.

Information We Collect

We collect information in three primary ways.

Information you provide directly includes details shared during registration and profile creation, such as your name, contact details, date of birth, profile information, interests, and photographs. If you register as a Yaar, we may also collect identity documents and verification details as required for safety and trust.

Information from third parties may be received from identity verification partners, payment service providers, and analytics tools. Such data is used strictly for verification, fraud prevention, and service improvement.

Purpose of Data Use

We use personal information to operate and improve Instayaar responsibly. This includes creating and managing user accounts, verifying identities, enabling bookings and payments, facilitating communication after confirmed bookings, providing customer support, resolving disputes, and enforcing platform policies.

We may also use aggregated or anonymized data to understand usage trends and improve the Platform. Personal data is never used for purposes that conflict with this Privacy Policy.

Sensitive Personal Data

Certain information, such as government-issued identification documents and verification records, is treated as sensitive personal data. This data is collected only when necessary and is accessible only to authorized personnel or trusted verification partners. We apply heightened security measures to protect such information.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Instayaar may use cookies or similar technologies to enhance user experience, remember preferences, and analyze platform performance. You can control cookie settings through your browser or device. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the Platform.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent personal information. Data may be shared only in limited circumstances, such as with trusted service providers (including payment gateways and verification partners), to comply with legal obligations, to protect user safety, or during corporate restructuring such as a merger or acquisition.

All third parties are required to handle data securely and only for permitted purposes.

Profile Visibility and Communication

User profiles are displayed within the Platform according to its design and privacy controls. Personal contact details are not publicly visible. Communication between users is enabled only after booking confirmation to maintain safety and reduce misuse.

Users retain control over optional profile information they choose to share.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal data, including secure servers, encryption, and access controls. While we strive to protect user information, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users share information at their own discretion.

Your Rights

You may access, update, or correct your personal information through your account settings. You may also request account deletion or withdrawal of consent, subject to legal and regulatory requirements. Requests can be made using the contact details provided below.

Children’s Privacy

Instayaar is intended only for individuals aged 18 years and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If such data is identified, it will be deleted promptly.

Third-Party Links

The Platform may contain links to third-party websites or services. Instayaar is not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and users should review their policies separately.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, or platform operations. Updates will be posted on the Platform. Continued use after changes indicates acceptance of the revised Policy.

Governing Law

This Privacy Policy shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Republic of India.
