Fuse ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, store, use, and share your information when you use the Fuse platform. Fuse operates as a semi-anonymous social platform where users may interact using usernames or anonymous identities within communities. While anonymity is supported in certain areas, users remain responsible for their activity and content on the platform.
We collect the following types of data:
- All user data is stored using Firebase, a secure cloud infrastructure provided by Google. Profile images and media are stored using Cloudinary. These third-party providers maintain their own security and privacy standards.
- Limited technical logs such as IP addresses may be stored temporarily to maintain security, detect abuse, and enforce platform policies.
- To manage user accounts and enable authentication
- To provide chat, community, posting and interaction features
- To personalise the experience including streaks, tiers and content relevance
- To moderate content, prevent abuse and maintain platform safety
We may only share data in these situations:
- When required by law or legal authorities
- To enforce our Terms & Conditions or protect platform users
- For internal moderation, safety reviews or abuse prevention
- When required to comply with legal obligations, court orders, or government requests
- To prevent fraud, harassment, abuse, or threats to platform safety
Fuse relies on trusted third-party services to operate the platform. These may include authentication providers, cloud storage, analytics tools, and infrastructure services such as Firebase and Cloudinary. These providers may process limited data necessary to operate the service but are not permitted to sell or misuse user data.
- You may edit or update your profile information at any time
- You may request full account deletion via our support channels
- You can manage blocks, followers and communities directly within the app
- You may request access to the personal data associated with your account where applicable
We use standard security practices such as controlled access, encryption where applicable and platform-level protections.
Fuse retains user data only as long as necessary to operate the platform, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce policies. Deleted accounts may have certain data retained for a limited period for security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.
Fuse is strictly intended for individuals 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18. If an account belonging to a minor is discovered, it may be removed and associated data may be deleted.
Fuse operates in accordance with India's Information Technology Act and relevant intermediary guidelines. We maintain reporting mechanisms, moderation tools, and internal review processes to address unlawful content and comply with applicable regulations.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or platform features. When significant changes occur, the updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
