What we collect
Account data: your phone number, and your email address if you sign in with Google or verify a college email.
Profile data: your first name, date of birth, gender, who you would like to meet, your intent, languages, interests, the city and area you choose, your photos and your prompt answers.
Verification data: the selfie taken during liveness verification, and the result.
Activity data: your introductions and responses, matches, messages, blocks, reports, event RSVPs and basic device and log data needed to keep the service secure.
What other members see
Members you are introduced to or matched with see your first name, age, area and city, approved photos, prompt answers, languages, interests, intent and verification badge. They never see your phone number, email address, date of birth, exact location or verification selfie. Public pages on myra.app never show member profiles, photos or counts.
Why we use it
To create and secure your account, verify that you are a real adult, prepare introductions, run chat, keep members safe, respond to reports and complaints, send the notifications you choose, and meet legal obligations. With your separate consent only, we measure site usage and advertising performance.
Location
We do not collect your device's precise location. You choose a city and an area, and we store only the centre point of that area to work out distance. When you upload a photo, we remove hidden location data from the file.
Verification selfies
Your liveness selfie is used only to confirm you are a real person who matches your photos. It is deleted as soon as a decision is made, unless the law requires us to keep it for longer. It is never shown to other members.
Sharing
We use service providers to host data in India (Supabase, Mumbai region), deliver SMS codes and email, check images and verify selfies. They process data only on our instructions. With your consent, we send limited, non-identifying event data to Google Analytics and Meta from our servers. We do not sell personal data. We disclose data to authorities only when Indian law requires it.
How long we keep data
We keep your data while your account is open. When you delete your account we delete your profile, photos, introductions, matches and messages. We keep a minimal record of reports and moderation actions, and a hashed copy of a phone number blocked for being under 18, for as long as needed for safety and legal compliance.
Your rights
You can access and download your data, correct it, delete your account, withdraw consent for optional processing at any time, and nominate another person to exercise your rights if you die or become incapacitated. Most of this can be done from Settings. You can also raise a grievance with our grievance officer, and if you are not satisfied, complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
Children
Myra is only for adults. We do not knowingly process data of anyone under 18. If we learn an account belongs to someone under 18, we delete it and block the phone number.
