FoxApex LLC (“FoxApex,” “we,” “us”) operates Khuba, a Christian dating app for adults from Middle Eastern, Armenian, and Cypriot backgrounds, including the diaspora. This policy describes the personal information we collect in the Khuba app, why we use it, who processes it, and the choices you have. Using the app means you agree to this policy.
1. Who this policy covers
This policy applies to people who create a Khuba account or otherwise use the Khuba mobile app. The marketing website may collect separate information when you contact Support. Khuba is not for anyone under 18.
2. Information you give us
When you join or edit your profile, you may provide a phone number, first name, date of birth, gender, countries of residence and birth, profile photos, a review photo taken in the app, bio text, interests, languages, optional ethnicity, work, relationship status, church family, church-practice answers, the required Christian affirmation, and dating preferences. You choose what to write in free-text fields. Do not put information in your profile that you are not willing to show other members.
3. Information the app records
The app may record device type and operating system, how the app is used, IP address, a push-notification token, approximate GPS coordinates if you allow location access, and how you arrived at Khuba (for example a referral code). If you subscribe, we receive subscription tier and status from Apple, Google, and RevenueCat. FoxApex does not store full payment-card numbers.
4. Why we use this information
We use it to run your account; show your profile to other members according to the app’s matching and discovery features; send and receive likes, messages, and referrals; review profile photos; process paid plans; send notifications you have allowed; enforce our Terms and Community Rules; reduce fraud and abuse; improve the service; and meet legal duties. The Christian affirmation and church-family selection are stored as profile facts you named. They are not treated as proof of faith, parish membership, or sincerity.
5. Who else processes information
We use companies that process data only to provide their service to FoxApex:
- Google Firebase — Sign-in, database, file storage, Cloud Functions, and push messaging. Google’s Firebase terms state that Firebase customer data is not sold and is not used for Google advertising. See firebase.google.com/support/privacy
- RevenueCat — Subscription status for in-app purchases. RevenueCat manages plan state. It does not receive your profile biography or photos. See revenuecat.com/privacy
- Apple and Google — App distribution and payment for subscriptions. Their privacy policies govern the purchase itself.
FoxApex LLC does not sell, rent, or trade Khuba member information.
6. Location
If you allow it, we store a general geographic coordinate so discovery can show people who are nearer to you. We do not store a street address from GPS. You can turn location off in your device settings. Turning it off limits nearby discovery.
7. Profile photos and the review photo
Profile photos are stored in Firebase Storage and shown to other members after review. The review photo — taken in the app while holding up three fingers — is compared with the pictures on the profile by authorized FoxApex staff. Other members never see it. After a review is finished, whether the profile is approved or the photo is rejected, we delete the review photo from active storage. Firebase Storage has soft delete enabled, so a deleted file can be recovered for seven days. We do not describe that deletion as immediate permanent erasure. If you delete your account before review is finished, we also delete the review photo from active storage, subject to the same seven-day recoverable period. Photo review does not verify a legal name or government identity.
8. Notifications
If you allow notifications, we store a Firebase Cloud Messaging token in a private record used only to deliver alerts to your device. You can turn notifications off in device settings.
9. How long we keep information
We keep account information while the account is open. When you delete your account, your profile, photos, and messages are removed from our active systems. Files removed from Firebase Storage may remain recoverable for seven days because of soft delete. We may keep anonymized usage statistics. We may keep records longer when the law requires it, including child-safety reports.
10. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may be able to ask for a copy of the personal data we hold, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, object to or limit some processing, or receive a portable copy. Write to [email protected]. We may need to confirm that the request comes from the account holder.
11. People under 18
Khuba is only for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that an account belongs to a minor, we close it and delete the data, except where the law requires us to keep a record.
12. Where information is processed
Information may be processed in the United States (including Florida) and in other countries where our processors operate. By using Khuba you agree to that transfer. We use contractual and technical safeguards appropriate to the service.
13. Security
We use encrypted transport (TLS), Firebase security rules, and internal access limits so that only people who need review or support access can see sensitive files such as review photos.
14. Changes
If we change this policy in a material way, we will update the date on this page and may ask you to agree again in the app before you continue. Using Khuba after that agreement means you accept the updated policy.
