Privacy policy

Shaazey · Last updated November 1, 2026

Shaazey is a local social app operated by BurneyDevelopers. This policy explains the information processed when you use the app, why it is used, and the choices available to you. Shaazey is for adults aged 18 and over.

Information we process

• Account and profile information: your name, email address, username, date of birth, account settings and any profile details, interests, avatar or links you add. Passwords are stored as salted hashes.
• Content and activity: posts, photos, videos, stories, comments, events, connections, saved items, quests, badges and preferences you create or use.
• Private messages: encrypted message content and the account, conversation, delivery and timing information needed to deliver messages. Private messaging keys are held on your device; the server does not have your private messaging key.
• Optional contact and location information: contact identifiers are processed to match accounts when you enable contact discovery. Protected contact indexes are used for matching. With permission, location information supports nearby discovery and location-based content. You can decline or revoke these permissions.
• Device and service information: notification tokens, session and device information, IP addresses, service activity, errors and security signals used for delivery, authentication, abuse prevention and diagnostics.
• Advertising information: Google Mobile Ads may process device identifiers, advertising interactions, approximate location and diagnostic information for advertising and measurement, subject to your consent choices and Google’s privacy policy.

Optional wellbeing activities

If you use wellbeing activities, we process the activity type, duration, completion and any notes or mood you choose to record. Your notes, mood and activity minutes stay private. If you opt into local competition, eligible goal points and completed goal days may appear with your public profile. These are self-logged activities for everyday wellbeing. Shaazey does not provide medical advice or diagnose or treat medical conditions.

How information is used

We use this information to provide feeds, search, discovery, messaging, events, quests, profile features and notifications; verify accounts and deliver account emails; remember your choices; moderate content and respond to reports; protect accounts and the service; and diagnose and improve reliability.

Visibility and sharing

Your profile settings, content audiences and connection choices determine what other members can see. Public posts and public profile information may be visible to other people. Blocking, private-profile and messaging controls are available in the app.

Microsoft Azure hosts the backend, database, media storage and account email delivery. Google Firebase supports the configured authentication and push-notification services. Google Mobile Ads provides advertising. These providers process information needed to deliver their services. We may disclose information when required by law or to investigate abuse and protect users. We do not sell your personal information.

Security

The production service uses HTTPS. Private messages use end-to-end encryption. Access to staff tools requires staff authentication and multi-factor authentication. Use a strong password and keep access to your phone secure.

Retention and deletion

Account information and content are retained while needed to provide the service. An account deletion request disables account access and starts the account deletion process. Some records may remain where required for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution or legal obligations. Backups expire according to their retention schedules rather than being individually edited.

Request deletion from Settings in the app or follow the account deletion instructions. We may need to verify account ownership before processing an outside-app request.

Your choices

• Manage profile visibility, messaging, interests, recommendations and notification preferences in Settings.
• Manage location, contacts, camera, microphone and notification permissions in your device settings.
• Use the app’s advertising privacy choices where available.
• Request access to, correction of or deletion of your account information by contacting the team.

Children and young people

Shaazey is not directed at children and requires users to be at least 18 years old. If you believe a child’s information or prohibited content is present, contact us or report it in the app. Our safety standards prohibit child sexual abuse and exploitation.

Contact

For privacy questions or requests, email shaazeyoffical@outlook.com. Do not include passwords, one-time codes or private messaging keys.

Policy updates

We may update this policy as the service changes. The date above identifies the current published version.
