Parinay keeps practical privacy controls for account data, profile visibility, cookies, retention, and support requests.
Governance and ownership
The standalone product now names a privacy lead route, legal escalation path, and product/platform ownership for privacy changes and incident handling.
RoPA and data inventory
A machine-readable record-of-processing snapshot tracks systems, categories, recipients, purposes, retention references, and transfer references for the current feature set.
Record of processing snapshot
The privacy policy and operations materials publish the current purpose register, lawful basis labels, member controls, and high-level data categories wired into the standalone build.
Incident and breach readiness
Operational guidance names the privacy contact channel, expected first-response steps, and the distinction between product support, security triage, and any future formal breach notification workflow.
Retention and deletion controls
Member-facing delete account, export, consent history, rights workflow, retention disclosures, and a retention sweep script are linked together so erasure behavior is understandable before launch.
Vendor and subprocessor visibility
The standalone product publishes its current vendor inventory, activation state, DPA expectations, and transfer notes while legal review matures.
Privacy review gate
New features, vendors, or high-risk automations must go through the DPIA-lite checklist before launch so notices, retention, and access-control changes are not missed.
Current retention schedule entries: 7.
Current RoPA entries: 6.
Location-based discovery is opt-in. Members can stay at city-only matching or explicitly save an approximate or more precise current-location refine for nearby search, and they can switch that setting off later from discovery controls.
Sponsored placements are contextual by default. Personalized sponsored placements use limited in-product signals only when a signed-in member explicitly enables that setting from Cookie and storage settings.
