Privacy

When you create an account we store your name, date of birth, email or phone number and profile photo. As you use Vybb we also collect:

• Posts, stories, messages, photos and videos you share.
• Trips, events, clubs and activities you create or join.
• Locations you tag, venues you review, and places you search.
• Payments you make or receive (amounts, references and timestamps).
• Device type, browser and approximate location when you open the app.

• To run the features you use — messaging, trips, tickets, payments, galleries and more.
• To show you relevant recommendations (events, venues, clubs, interests).
• To verify accounts, prevent fraud and enforce community guidelines.
• To send you notifications about activity on your account (you control these in Settings).
• To improve Vybb through anonymous, aggregated usage data.

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only when:

• You choose to. Anything you post publicly or share in a squad, club or trip is visible to those members.
• Payments. Payment references are shared with the payment provider (e.g. M-Pesa) to process your transaction.
• Safety & law. We may disclose information to comply with legal obligations or protect the safety of members.
• Service providers. Hosting, AI recommendations and analytics providers process data on our behalf under strict agreements.

• Profile visibility. Choose who sees your location, mood and online status in Settings → Privacy.
• Blocking. Block any member to prevent them from seeing your content or messaging you.
• Gallery tags. Control who can see people and places tagged on your photos and videos.
• Notifications. Turn notifications on or off per category in Settings.
• Export your data. Request a copy of your data from Settings → Account.
• Delete your account. You can permanently delete your account and data from Settings → Account.

• You must be 18 or older to create an account. Age is verified during onboarding.
• Each account belongs to one person. Sharing login credentials is not allowed.
• Accounts that violate community guidelines may be suspended. You can appeal through the Appeals page.
• Deleted accounts are removed permanently. We retain payment records and safety logs as required by law.

All connections to Vybb are encrypted. We store data in secure, access-controlled systems and limit internal access to authorised staff. Payment data is handled by licensed payment providers; we do not store card numbers or M-Pesa PINs.
