How we treat your data

What we collect

• You give us: your name, email, phone number, gender and experience, a profile photo and cover image, the interests you pick with the points you give them, what you are looking for, your posts, and the messages and files you send.
• From how you use the club: who you pass on, pitch or accept, who you block or report, which cards you were shown, and how many signals you have used today.
• Your area: a rough ~2 km square, or a city if you pick one (next section). We do not store coordinates.
• If you apply for a role: what you send on the careers page, including a resume.
• Records we keep about consent: that you said you are 18 or older, and any consent you gave or withdrew, with the date.

Your area

If you tap Use my location, your phone sends your position once. We turn it into a coarse square about 2 km across and keep only that square. The position itself is not saved, and is never shown to anyone.

If you pick a city instead, we use the centre of that city, never an address, and your area then reads as city-wide.

Other members never see your square. They see a rounded distance (like “~3 km”), or the name of your city or region, and only once enough people are nearby for that to say little about you. Until then you may see a place name instead of a distance.

Private interests

Some interests are sensitive, such as faith, health or orientation. You can add them if you want to, and only after you tick a separate consent box. They are never shown to anyone and do not change who you see.

If we ever want to use them for matching, we will ask you again first. You can withdraw consent at any time in Profile, then Privacy & account. We then delete your private interests straight away and spread their points over your other interests.

Who sees what

• Other members see your name, photo, cover, role, your interests (never the private ones), the interests you share with them, and a rounded distance or place name. They never see your email, your phone number, your exact location or your private interests.
• A person you message sees what you write and send. If you report a chat, we keep the text of the last 50 messages of that conversation and references to its attachments; an attachment image may no longer be available if its owner deletes it.
• The founder can see what is in the database in order to run and protect the club, answer reports and fix problems.
• Our hosting provider (see below) stores the data on our behalf.
• We do not sell your data.

Adults only (18+)

Brivia Club is for adults. At signup you confirm that you are 18 or older. We do not ask for your date of birth, and we keep the date you confirmed. An under-18 report from a member with a complete profile, on Brivia for at least 7 days, who has been in touch with that person (a like, pass, request, match or message) pauses them while we review it. We review every under-18 report within 72 hours.

How long we keep things

A nightly job removes expired records. These are the times it applies.

Deleting your account

Go to Profile, then Privacy & account, then Delete my account. If you signed in a while ago, we first ask you to confirm your password or sign in again, before anything is removed. Then we remove your files, then your account, and sign you out.

What is deleted

• Your profile, photos, interests and points.
• Your matches, requests and signals.
• Your messages, which disappear from other people’s chats too.
• Your posts and the files you uploaded.

What remains

• Reports you made are kept for up to a year, without your name.
• Reports about you are kept for 365 days, with their evidence: the text of the last 50 messages between you and the reporter, and references to attachments. The attachment images may no longer be available if their owner deletes them.
• A log of your consent and this deletion is kept for 1 year.
• If you were reported or flagged before you deleted, a one-way code made from your email, with the reasons and ids of those reports, is kept for 365 days, so a rejoin can be reviewed.
• Entries about you in other members’ daily limits clear within 30 days.
• Files other people sent you stay in their own folders.
• Sign-in and platform logs and backups clear on their own schedules, and cached images can take about an hour to disappear.
• Other devices stay signed in until they next check in.

Where your data lives

Your data is stored with Supabase, Mumbai (ap-south-1), India.

Reports and safety

You can report any member from their card or from a chat, and block them. We aim to read every report. An under-18 report from a member with a complete profile, on Brivia for at least 7 days, who has been in touch with that person (a like, pass, request, match or message) pauses them while we review it. We review every under-18 report within 72 hours.

Reports are kept for 365 days. The person you report is never told who reported them. If you delete your account, reports you made are kept without your name.

If anyone is in immediate danger, call 112.
