Privacy Policy

1. Our privacy-first approach

Milox is an adult social dating platform designed to minimize data collection. We collect only what is necessary to create and operate your account, deliver features you choose to use, keep the Service secure, and comply with law.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not access your phone contacts. We do not track your real-world GPS location. Photos and videos are processed only when you actively choose to upload them for posts, your profile, or chat.

2. Information we do NOT collect

Unless you voluntarily type something into the Service, Milox does not collect or require the following:

• Phone number or mobile SIM identity — not required to sign up or use Milox.
• Contact list, address book, or phone contacts — the app never requests contact permissions.
• GPS, precise location, background location, or live location tracking — Milox does not access device location services.
• Government ID, passport, Aadhaar, SSN, or similar identity documents.
• Legal name — you choose a username and display name; your real name is not required.
• Payment card or bank account details through Milox (unless we introduce paid features separately in future).
• Microphone or voice recordings — Milox does not request microphone access for core features.
• SMS, call logs, calendar, or other device sensors unrelated to operating the app.
• Continuous or background access to your photo gallery — see Section 4 below.

3. Information we collect (minimal account data)

To create and maintain an account, we process the following:

• Email address — used for login, account recovery, and important service messages. Your email is never shown on your public profile.
• Password — stored only in hashed form; we cannot read your plain-text password.
• Username and display name — chosen by you; visible according to your settings.
• Date of birth — collected once at signup to confirm you are 18+. It is used to verify age and may be used to display an age number on your profile unless you hide age in privacy settings. Your exact birth date is not shown publicly to other members.
• Gender — collected at signup as part of account setup.
• Optional profile fields you choose to add: bio, optional self-selected country (a country code you pick — not GPS), relationship goal, website link, or social handle.
• Milox Points balance, referral activity, and related in-app reward logs.

4. Photos and media (only when you upload)

Milox does not scan your camera roll or access your photos in the background.

On Android, the app may request permission to read images from your device gallery (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES) only when you tap to upload a photo — for example, when creating a post, updating a profile picture, cover photo, story, or sending an image in chat. If you deny permission, you can still use Milox without uploading images.

When you upload media, that file is transmitted to our servers and stored so the feature works (display on feed, profile, or chat). You control what you upload. Do not upload images you do not have the right to share.

We do not use your photos for advertising profiling, facial recognition identity verification, or unrelated purposes.

5. Content you create

When you use Milox features, we store the content needed to operate them. This content is user-generated. Other users may see what you share according to product design and your privacy settings.

• Posts, comments, likes, and saved items.
• Interests sent or received, matches, and follow relationships.
• Private messages and media you send in chat (after mutual interest).
• Reports and blocks you submit.
• Stories you publish (if available in your version of the app).

6. Technical and security data

Like most online services, our servers automatically receive limited technical information needed to deliver and secure the Service. We use this data to keep accounts secure, troubleshoot problems, and prevent abuse — not to track your offline movements or build advertising profiles.

• IP address and approximate network information.
• Device type, operating system, app or browser version.
• Timestamps, request logs, and error/crash diagnostics.
• Authentication tokens and session identifiers.
• Anti-abuse signals related to fraud, spam, or policy violations.

7. Cookies, mobile storage, and advertising technologies

Website: cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy.

Mobile app: secure local storage and session tokens to keep you signed in.

Advertising: the Milox mobile app displays ads through Google AdMob. When an ad is requested or shown, Google and its partners may process device and ad interaction data (such as advertising ID, IP address, device model, and app version) to deliver, measure, and personalize ads according to Google’s policies. We do not sell your email or profile to advertisers. See our Advertising & Third-Party Ads Policy and Google’s privacy documentation for controls.

8. How we use information

• Create, authenticate, and manage your account.
• Provide feeds, discovery, interests, messaging, notifications, and Milox Points.
• Honor your privacy settings (hide age, hide country, private account, etc.).
• Detect, prevent, and respond to abuse, fraud, spam, and Terms violations.
• Respond to support requests sent to support@milox.in.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies.

9. How we share information

We do not sell personal information. We share data only as follows:

• With other users — only what you choose to make visible (profile, posts, messages, etc.).
• With infrastructure providers — hosting, storage, email delivery, push notifications (Firebase Cloud Messaging), advertising (Google AdMob), and security vendors under contract.
• For legal and safety reasons — when required by law or to protect users and the platform.
• With your direction — when you explicitly choose to share.

10. Data retention and deletion

We retain information only as long as needed to provide the Service, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and comply with law.

You may delete your account in-app (Settings → Delete account) or as described on our Delete Account page. After deletion, we remove or anonymize personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is legally required or permitted (for example, abuse logs or backup systems purged on a rolling schedule).

11. Your rights and choices

Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information by contacting support@milox.in from your account email.

You can update profile and privacy settings in the app at any time.

12. Children's privacy

Milox is 18+ only. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. See our Age Policy and Child Safety Standards.

13. International processing

Data may be processed where our servers and providers operate. We apply appropriate safeguards where required by law.

14. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy. Material changes will be posted here with an updated date.
