Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 17, 2024
referbd. ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information about users ("you", "your") of the Referbd application ("App").
  1. Information We Collect
    1. Registration Information: When you register for the App, we collect your phone number, first name, last name, date of birth, and password.
    2. Verification Information: We collect information necessary to verify your phone number via SMS.
    3. Usage Information: We collect information about your use of the App, including the businesses you promote, your referrals, and your earnings.
    4. Contact Information: With your permission, we access your phone contacts to facilitate the sending of promotional SMS messages.
  2. How We Use Your Information
    1. To create and manage your account.
    2. To verify your phone number and authenticate your identity.
    3. To facilitate referrals and track your earnings.
    4. To communicate with you about your account and provide customer support.
    5. To send promotional SMS messages to your contacts, with your consent.
    6. To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.
  3. Retention of Information After Account or Contact Deletion
    1. Even if you delete your account, we retain your phone number in our database to maintain the integrity of our App. This prevents users from misusing the App by deleting and re-registering to exploit referrals from the same business multiple times. For example, if you visit a business and use a referral, you cannot delete your account and re-register to redeem the same referral again from that business.
    2. When you delete a contact from your database, we retain the contact’s phone number but remove the association between you and that contact. This means we no longer retain information that associates the contact's phone number with your account. We retain the contact's phone number because it may be linked to other activities within the App, such as being referred by other users.
    3. We ensure that these actions comply with data protection regulations and are designed to prevent misuse of the App without violating your legal rights.
  4. Sharing Your Information
    1. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
    2. We may share your information with service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing and SMS delivery.
    3. We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to a legal request, such as a subpoena or court order.
  5. Security
    1. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.
    2. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
  6. Your Rights
    1. You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information. You can do this by logging into your account or contacting us at [email protected]
    2. You may opt-out of receiving promotional messages from us by following the instructions in those messages or contacting us.
  7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
    1. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the App. Your continued use of the App after the changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the new Privacy Policy.
