3. Device Permissions and What They Are Used For
The current mobile app code requests or uses the following permissions and system capabilities. If you deny a permission, the related feature may not work.
The current app code does not show Contacts, SMS, call log or precise GPS location permissions in the main
mobile manifests. If the app adds new permissions later, this Privacy Policy should be updated.
4. How We Use Your Data
We use collected information to:
- Create, secure and manage user and host accounts.
- Set up and display user profiles, host profiles and discovery listings.
- Provide chat, audio messaging, image sharing, calls, random match flows and live streams.
- Send notifications for calls, messages, gifts, live events and service activity.
- Process coin purchases, VIP plans, premium features and wallet accounting.
- Review host onboarding, creator verification and payout eligibility.
- Prevent fraud, reduce abuse, enforce policies and investigate suspicious activity.
- Support account deletion, block features, safety tools and customer support needs.
- Improve reliability, debug technical issues and optimize the app experience.
6. Local Storage and Cached Information
The app stores certain data locally on your device to improve speed and continuity. This may include login state, language preference, country, dial code, coin balance, VIP flag, profile image path caching, policy links, rate settings and related session data. Local storage helps the app reopen faster and keep context between launches.
7. How Long We Keep Data
We keep information for as long as it is reasonably necessary to operate the service, comply with legal or accounting obligations, resolve disputes, detect abuse and enforce our agreements.
- Account and profile data may be retained while your account is active.
- Transaction, wallet and payout records may be retained for accounting, reconciliation and fraud prevention.
- Verification records may be retained for safety review, creator eligibility and compliance needs.
- Some cached data may remain on your device until the app is removed or storage is cleared.
The codebase does not define a single hard-coded retention schedule for every category, so operational and legal needs may affect exact retention periods.
8. Your Choices and Controls
- You can update core profile information through profile editing features in the app.
- You can control certain permissions through your device settings.
- You can block other users or hosts using in-app block features where available.
- You can request account deletion using the app settings flow.
- You can avoid optional purchases by not buying coins, VIP plans or premium features.
9. Security
We use authentication, app security tools, server communication, notification handling and account control features to protect the service. The app code also includes screen protection features intended to reduce screenshot-based leakage of private content. No service can promise absolute security, so you should also protect your own device, credentials and account access.
10. Age Limits
MakeBestie is intended for adults. Because the app supports live interaction, random matching, monetized engagement and creator participation, people under 18 should not use the service.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time if the app adds features, providers, payment methods, permissions or legal requirements. Updated versions should be posted on makebestie.com and linked inside the app.
