2. Disclosure of Your Information
We do not make Your personal information publicly available, nor do We sell Your personal information to any third party. We may, however, disclose Your personal information in the following circumstances:
- To the other participant in a call or chat: such person shall be able to view Your name, profile photograph, and rating. Your phone number shall not be disclosed to such person unless You elect to share it directly during the course of the interaction.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website employs cookies and comparable technologies to maintain Your session, remember Your preferences, and analyse usage of the website. You may disable cookies through Your browser settings; however, certain features of the website may not function as intended if You do so.
4. Security of Your Information
We implement technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect Your personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, including encryption of data in transit and access controls restricting internal access on a need-to-know basis. Payment information is processed by payment gateway partners that maintain PCI-DSS compliance; We do not directly store Your complete payment card or bank account credentials.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no method of transmission or storage is entirely secure, and We cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event We become aware of a breach affecting Your personal information, We shall notify You and the relevant regulatory authorities as required under applicable law.
5. Retention of Your Information
We retain Your personal information for so long as Your account remains active, and thereafter for such additional period as may be required to comply with Our legal, tax, and financial record-keeping obligations. Upon deletion of Your account, We shall remove Your personal information from Our active systems; residual copies may persist in backup systems for a limited period before being purged in the ordinary course of Our backup cycle.
We are unable to remove content that another user may have independently retained, screenshotted, or shared outside the Platform prior to deletion, as such content falls outside Our control.
6. Age Restriction
The Platform is intended solely for use by persons who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from any person under the age of 18. Where We become aware that an account has been created by a minor, We shall terminate such account and delete the associated personal information.
7. Your Rights
Subject to applicable Indian data protection law, You are entitled to:
- request access to, and correction of, the personal information We hold about You;
- withdraw consent to processing that is based on Your consent, at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to such withdrawal;
- request deletion of Your account and associated data; and
- opt out of marketing communications, while continuing to receive service-related communications, including OTPs and call notifications, that are necessary for the operation of the Platform.
Requests may be submitted to support@callclub.in. We may require verification of Your identity before processing such a request. Where You withdraw consent necessary for the provision of a particular feature, We may be unable to continue providing that feature to You.
8. Cross-Border Data Transfers
Certain of Our service providers may process personal information on servers located outside India. Where such transfer occurs, We require that such service providers maintain safeguards consistent with the protections described in this Policy.
