Privacy & Security

Welcome to RingRong. We are an India-based platform with a mission to highlight and celebrate Indian culture. Our commitment is to provide a safe, secure, and public application where every user feels protected. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information with the utmost care.

We collect information necessary to provide you with a smooth and personalized experience. This includes:

• Personal Data: Your name, username, and phone number, which you provide during registration. Your email is optional.
• User-Generated Content: We collect the content you create and share, such as posts, stories, and comments, to display it within the app.
• Messages: We collect message content to deliver it to the recipient. Your private conversations are protected.
• App Activity: We note your interactions (likes, follows, etc.) to improve your feed and the overall service.
• Performance Data: We automatically collect crash logs and performance data to ensure the app runs smoothly and to fix any issues.

Your information is used solely to enhance your experience and operate the app. Specifically, we use it to:

• Create and manage your account securely.
• Enable communication between users.
• Personalize your content feed.
• Monitor and analyze usage to improve our services.
• Protect against fraud and ensure a safe community.

We take your security very seriously. Our platform is built on Google's robust and secure Firebase services. We use multiple layers of protection:

• Firestore Security Rules: We have implemented strict server-side rules that prevent any unauthorized access to your data. For example, only you can edit your profile, and a private chat can only be read by its participants.
• Secure Authentication: We use secure phone-based authentication, so you don't have to worry about passwords being stolen.
• No Sale of Data: We will never sell your personal data to third parties. Your trust is our most valuable asset.

We do not share your personal information with any third parties, except as necessary to provide the service (e.g., with our cloud hosting provider, Google Cloud) or as required by law. Your privacy is not for sale.

We retain your information only as long as your account is active. You have full control over your data. You can manage your information from your profile settings and can request account deletion by contacting our support team.

If you have any questions or concerns about your privacy, please contact us:
