Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to YouBGram (operated by YouBTech). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your personal information is handled safely and responsibly. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you provide when using our application and services.

2. Information We Collect

To provide a functional and social experience, we collect information that falls into the following categories:

Account Information: When you sign up, complete your profile, or authenticate via Google Sign-In, we collect your email address, name, username, profile picture, gender, date of birth, and bio.
Content Creation: We store the posts (text and image files), comments, and likes you create to make them visible to other users on the platform.
Messages & Communications: Direct messages sent through our real-time chat are stored securely. YouBGram supports temporary, ephemeral messaging where messages automatically expire after a set time.
Usage Data: We may collect technical details including your device type, IP address, and platform metrics to optimize your app experience.

3. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used to power the YouBGram ecosystem:

To authenticate your identity and secure your account.
To display and share your public profile and user content (posts, comments, likes) with the community.
To establish real-time socket connections for immediate messaging, typing indicators, and live feeds.
To dispatch push notifications and in-app alerts regarding social updates and user mentions.
To analyze app analytics, monitor system errors, and maintain database hygiene.

4. Data Retention & Deletion

We respect your control over your data. YouBGram provides native options directly inside the application settings to manage your account:

Direct Messages: Expired direct messages are automatically and permanently pruned from our servers at regular intervals.
Account Deletion: You can delete your account at any time. Deleting your account will immediately remove all your personal profile details, posts, comments, likes, notifications, and active chat logs from our databases.

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Public details (such as username, profile pic, and public posts) are viewable by other users of the YouBGram application as intended by design.

6. Security of Your Information

We implement a variety of security measures, including HTTPS encryption and secure database controls, to maintain the safety of your personal data. However, no transmission method over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page with the updated effective date.
