Privacy policy
Updated 8 November 2026
SparoLink helps you find the right people at events. This policy explains what we do with your personal data. We are the data fiduciary for it under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and its Rules.
- We collect only what we need to introduce you to people.
- We never ask for your location.
- We don't sell your data or use it for advertising.
- You can delete your account any time in Me › Settings.
What we collect, and why
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Account: name, verified email, sign-in identifier, Google photo link, password if you use email sign-in (never readable by us), sign-up and last sign-in dates | To create your account and sign you in |
| Profile: name, username, role or title, who you want to meet, about line, photo or chosen Sparo, cover, LinkedIn and Instagram handles, whether your email and Instagram show | To show your profile, rank matches and let people connect with you |
| Activity: rooms you join and when, whether you're visible, waves you send and receive, rooms you host and their details | To run rooms, show matches and keep your Met list |
| Messages: your name, email, topic and what you write to us | To reply, handle reports and answer requests |
| Technical: IP address, browser details and request logs | To keep the service secure, working and free of abuse |
We don't collect your location, contacts or payment details, and we never ask for a phone number. We never post to or read your LinkedIn or Instagram. Scan QR uses your camera only while it's open, and no picture is saved or sent. Hidden details in photos you upload, such as where they were taken, are removed.
We rely on your consent, which you give when you sign up, and on the uses the law allows without it, such as meeting a legal duty. You can withdraw consent by deleting your account or writing to us. This doesn't affect anything done before you withdrew it.
Who can see it
- People in your rooms see your profile while you're Visible there, including your LinkedIn link, and your Instagram unless you hide it. Your email is shown too, unless you hide it in your profile. You can change either at any time.
- People you've waved with can still see your profile under Met. The person you wave at sees that you waved.
- Room members see the room's name and cover.
- Authorised SparoLink staff can access limited information when needed for support, safety or legal reasons.
How long we keep it
We keep your account, profile, rooms and waves until you delete your account, and photos until you remove them or delete your account. Deleting your account removes these straight away and closes any rooms you're hosting.
Rooms you hosted that have already ended stay so guests can still see where they met, but they're no longer linked to you. Ask us and we'll remove their name and cover. We keep messages to us and security logs only as long as needed for those purposes or as the law requires. Backup copies, where they exist, are removed over time.
Your rights
You can ask for a summary of your data and who we've shared it with, correct or update it, erase it, withdraw consent, and nominate someone to act for you if you're unable to. You can also raise a grievance with us.
Most of this you can do yourself under Me. For anything else, send a privacy request. We may need to confirm it's you, and we'll respond within 90 days at most. If you're not satisfied, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
Children
SparoLink is only for people 18 or older. If we learn that a child has an account, we delete it. If you think one does, tell us.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect your data. No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects you, we'll tell you and the Data Protection Board as the law requires.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we'll let you know in the app before the change applies. The date at the top shows the latest version.
