Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 October 2026 · Applies to the VartaKare app and the vartakare.com website

What we collect

Account details (your Google sign-in identifier and email; host applicants also verify a phone number), the profile information you choose to provide (nickname, photos, bio, interests, languages), device identifiers used for security and fraud prevention, and usage data needed to operate matching, calls, chat and payments.

How we use it

To run the service: authenticate you, match you with other users, place voice calls, process coin recharges and host earnings, deliver notifications you've allowed, prevent fraud and abuse, and comply with law. We do not sell your personal data.

Calls & media

Calls are voice-only. Audio is relayed in real time to connect you with the other participant and is not recorded — with one safety exception: when someone reports the person they are talking to during a call, we save the next 10 seconds of the reported person's audio so our moderation team can review the report. The reporter is told this before the report is sent. These clips are stored privately, are heard only by our moderation team, and are deleted 90 days after the report.

Profile photos you upload are visible to other users by design. Identity (KYC) documents submitted by host applicants are stored privately, used only for verification, and are never shown to other users.

Sharing

We share data only with the service providers that power the app — payment processing, real-time media, cloud storage and push notifications — under contract, and where required by law.

Your choices & rights

• Edit or remove profile data at any time from Edit Profile.
• Block or report any user; blocked users cannot contact you.
• Control notifications via system settings.
• Delete your account permanently from Settings → Delete Account. This removes your contact identifiers, signs you out of all devices, and stops all notifications. Transaction records are retained only as required for financial compliance.

Children

VartaKare is strictly 18+. We do not knowingly collect data from minors; suspected underage accounts are removed.
