This policy explains what the DostMasti app (com.dostmasti.app) and the website dostmasti.com (“DostMasti”, “we”, “us”) collect about you, why, who it is shared with, how long it is kept and how you can delete it. DostMasti is for adults (18+) only.
1. What we collect
When you use DostMasti as a member
- Phone number — your login. A one-time code is sent to it on WhatsApp. Your number is never shown to other people on DostMasti.
- Profile — the name you choose, an optional profile photo, an optional bio and an optional e-mail address.
- Age confirmation and consent — your confirmation that you are 18 or older and that you accept our terms, with the time and IP address of that consent.
- Messages and gifts — the chat messages you send and receive, and the gifts you send.
- Call records — who called whom, when, for how long and how many coins it cost. The audio and video of calls are not recorded or stored. Calls travel directly between the two phones, or through our relay server only to connect them.
- Purchases — which coin pack you bought, the amount and the payment reference. Card and UPI details are handled entirely by the payment provider (Google Play for the Play Store app; our payment gateway partner on the website) — we never receive them.
- Device information — a notification token so calls and messages can reach your phone, the app version, the phone model and Android version (to fix problems), and IP addresses in our server logs.
- Safety data — reports you make or that are made about you, and people you block.
- Support conversations — what you write to our support team.
If you apply to become a host
- Display name, gender, age, city, languages, photos and bio for your public host profile.
- Identity verification — a photo of a government ID and a selfie, used only to confirm you are a real adult. They are visible only to our verification team and never to other members.
- A contact number and e-mail address, and payout details (UPI ID or bank account) to pay your earnings.
On this website
- If you sign in on dostmasti.com, one essential cookie keeps you signed in. See our Cookie Policy. We use no advertising or tracking cookies.
We do not collect your contacts, location, call logs or SMS, and we do not use advertising identifiers.
2. Why we use it
- To create and secure your account and let you sign in.
- To connect calls, deliver messages, gifts and notifications, and run your coin wallet.
- To process purchases and pay hosts their earnings.
- To keep DostMasti safe: verifying hosts, reviewing reports, stopping fraud, spam and abuse, and enforcing our Terms.
- To answer support requests and fix problems in the app.
- To meet our legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal data and we do not show advertising.
3. Who we share it with
Only with the service providers that run DostMasti for us, and only what each one needs:
- Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging) — to deliver call and message notifications to your phone.
- Google Play — to process coin purchases made in the Play Store app.
- Our payment gateway partner — to process coin purchases made on the website (UPI, cards, net banking).
- WhatsApp (Meta) — to deliver your sign-in code.
- Our hosting and relay servers — where the service runs and calls are connected.
Other members see only what you choose to show: your display name, photo, bio, level and your DM code — never your phone number. We may disclose information if the law requires it or to protect someone from serious harm.
4. How long we keep it
- Your account and profile — until you delete your account.
- Records of payments, coins, calls and payouts — for as long as Indian law requires financial records to be kept, linked only to an anonymised account after you delete yours.
- Reports and bans — kept so that a banned person cannot simply sign up again.
- Server logs — a short period for security and troubleshooting.
5. Your choices and rights
- Delete your account at any time: in the app (Profile → Delete account) or on the web at dostmasti.com/delete-account.
- Edit your name, photo and bio in the app at any time.
- Ask for a copy or correction of your data, or withdraw your consent, by writing to dostmastiofficial@gmail.com.
- Turn notifications, the camera or the microphone off in your phone's settings at any time.
6. Children
DostMasti is only for people aged 18 and over. Everyone confirms their age when signing up, and hosts are verified with a government ID. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we delete it. See our Safety & Child Safety Standards.
7. Security
Connections to DostMasti are encrypted (HTTPS), passwords are stored as one-way hashes, and identity documents are visible only to the verification team. No system is perfectly secure, so please tell us at once if you suspect misuse of your account.
8. Grievance officer and contact
For any privacy question, request or complaint, contact our Grievance Officer at dostmastiofficial@gmail.com or through Live chat support in the app. We acknowledge complaints within 24 hours and resolve them within 15 days.
9. Changes
If we change this policy we will update this page and the date at the top, and tell you in the app when the change is significant.
