Baila’s Privacy Policy
Baila (“Baila,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a platform designed to help people connect through dance, videos, shared interests, and real-world experiences.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and the choices you have regarding your information.

We may collect approximate or precise location information when you enable location-based features, such as discovering people, places, or events.
Google Sign-In / OAuth
BAILA offers Google Sign-In so you can create and access your account securely using your Google account.
When you choose to sign in with Google, BAILA may receive the following information from Google, depending on the permissions you approve:
- Your name

- Communicate with you about your account, security, and product updates
- Prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access
BAILA does not sell Google account data. We do not use Google user data for advertising, and we do not share it with other users except as part of profile details you choose to make visible (for example, a display name or profile photo).
You can revoke BAILA’s access to your Google account at any time through your Google Account permissions settings. You may also request deletion of your BAILA account and related personal information by contacting us at baila.support@gmail.com.

Content you choose to make visible on Baila may be viewed by other Baila users.

Some Baila features require location information to help you discover relevant people, places, events, or experiences.
You can control location permissions through your device or browser settings. Disabling location access may limit certain Baila features.
How We Share Information
We may share information with:
- Service providers that help us operate Baila, including hosting, analytics, security, communications, payments, mapping, and content-moderation providers.
- Other users when you choose to make information or content visible through Baila.
- Authorities or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect users, Baila, or others.
- Parties involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or sale of Baila or its assets.
We do not sell your personal information.
Safety and Moderation
To protect our users and platform, we may review or process content, account information, and activity to investigate reports, detect abuse, enforce our rules, prevent fraud, and comply with applicable law.
We may suspend or remove accounts or content that violate our Terms or safety rules.
We may retain certain information after deletion when reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute resolution, or other legitimate purposes.
Age Requirement
Baila is currently intended for users 18 years of age and older.
We may use age information to enforce age requirements and apply appropriate safety measures.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a person below the minimum age permitted by applicable law, we may delete the information and take appropriate action.
Data Retention and Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information.
However, no online service can guarantee complete security.
