Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 2026

1. Introduction

Blissa ("we", "our", or "us") is a food-sharing social and chat application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use the Blissa mobile application (the "App"). By using Blissa, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

We collect information that you provide directly to us, such as:

• Account Information: A unique user ID, nickname, avatar, and optional profile bio.
• User-Generated Content: Food photos you upload, post descriptions, tags, likes, favorites, and messages you send in chats.
• Profile & Settings: Profile settings, language preferences, and notification preferences.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you use the App, we may automatically collect certain information, including:

• Usage Data: How you interact with the App, such as pages viewed, posts you browse, likes and favorites, and time spent in different sections (Home, Recommended, Chat, Profile, etc.).
• Device Information: Device model, operating system version, language, and basic device identifiers.
• Local Storage: We store user data (such as posts, conversations, likes, favorites) locally on your device using secure local storage mechanisms.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve Blissa’s core features, including posting, browsing, chatting, and managing your profile
• Display your posts, likes, and favorites in the Home, Recommended, My Posts, and My Favorites sections
• Personalize your experience, such as recommending dishes and showing relevant food inspiration
• Provide customer support and respond to your requests or feedback
• Monitor usage trends to improve product design, performance, and stability
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or technical issues

4. Data Storage and Security

Blissa is designed primarily as a local-data-first experience. Many pieces of information (such as posts, profile, likes, messages, and favorites) are stored locally on your device using secure storage (for example, SharedPreferences or similar technologies).

• We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
• Where network communication is required (for example, to fetch remote images or call third-party services), we use encrypted connections whenever possible.

No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We recommend that you keep your device secure and protect your account.

5. Third-Party Services

Blissa may use certain third-party services to provide features such as:

• Image Hosting and Delivery: Food photos and avatars may be loaded from external image hosting services (for example, CDNs or image servers).
• Analytics: We may use analytics tools to understand app usage patterns in an aggregated, anonymized way.

These third-party services may collect information as described in their own privacy policies. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following situations:

• Service Providers: With trusted partners who provide infrastructure or analytics, and only to the extent necessary to perform their services.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Within the App, you can:

• View and update your profile information (nickname, avatar, bio)
• Browse and manage your own posts and favorites
• Delete posts you created and clear conversations you no longer need
• Delete your account from the Settings page, which will remove your local data (posts, messages, favorites, and profile information) from the device

If you have any questions about your data or want to exercise additional rights available in your region (such as access, correction, or deletion), you can contact us using the details in the "Contact Us" section.

8. Children’s Privacy

Blissa is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.

9. Data Retention

We retain your information only for as long as necessary to provide the App’s features and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. When you choose to delete your account from within the App, we remove or anonymize your personal information stored locally on your device, except where we are required to retain certain data for legal or compliance reasons.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we update this policy, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
