How Zyber works, what we collect, and how we protect your data.
Written to be read — not buried in fine print.
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Zyber mobile application, website, or any related services (collectively, the "Platform"), you ("User") enter into a legally binding agreement with Zyber ("Zyber," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Platform.

You retain ownership of any content you post or upload to the Platform ("User Content"). However, by submitting User Content, you grant Zyber a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, sub-licensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, display, publish, and create derivative works from your User Content for any purpose, including commercial purposes, without compensation to you.
You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to submit User Content and to grant the rights described above.
Zyber does not endorse any User Content and expressly disclaims any liability in connection with User Content. We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to remove any User Content that we determine, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable.
The Platform, including all software, design, text, graphics, logos, icons, images, and the selection and arrangement thereof, is the exclusive property of Zyber and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, transmit, display, perform, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any information or content obtained from the Platform without our prior written consent.
The Zyber name, logo, and related marks are trademarks of Zyber. You may not use them without our prior written permission.
Zyber's core functionality depends on access to your device's location data. By enabling location services, you expressly consent to the collection, processing, and use of your real-time geographic location for the purposes of providing the Platform's features.
You understand and acknowledge that enabling location sharing makes certain information about your proximity available to other Platform users as determined by your privacy settings. Zyber is not liable for any outcomes arising from other users' access to your location data within the Platform's features.
You may disable location services at any time through your device settings. However, disabling location access will impair or prevent access to core Platform features.
The Platform may contain links to third-party websites, services, or applications. Zyber has no control over and assumes no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party services. Your use of third-party services is governed solely by their respective terms and policies.
Zyber may integrate with third-party service providers including but not limited to venue discovery platforms, payment processors, and map services. These integrations are provided for convenience and Zyber does not endorse, warrant, or guarantee any third-party services.
Zyber does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any content on the Platform. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Zyber and its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice, at our sole discretion. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately.
All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including but not limited to ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.
You may terminate your account at any time through the Platform's account settings. Termination does not relieve you of any obligations incurred prior to termination.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of India, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days, it shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 of India. The seat of arbitration shall be New Delhi, India. The language of arbitration shall be English.
Notwithstanding the above, Zyber reserves the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent infringement of intellectual property rights or other irreparable harm.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Zyber's failure to enforce any right or provision shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Zyber with respect to the Platform and supersede all prior agreements, communications, and understandings.
Zyber may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms without your consent. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without Zyber's prior written consent.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you of such changes via the Platform or email.
We may share your information with third parties when you have given us your explicit consent to do so.
Zyber's core functionality requires access to your precise real-time location. We collect location data continuously while the app is in use and, with your additional consent, in the background. Location data is used to:
Your location data may be shared with other Platform users in accordance with your privacy settings. We retain location data for a period of 12 months, after which it is anonymised for aggregate analytics.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. You may request deletion of your account at any time, after which we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain data for legal compliance, dispute resolution, or enforcement of our agreements.

In the event of a data breach that affects your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and relevant authorities as required by applicable law.
We and our third-party partners use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your interactions with the Platform.

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including countries that may have different data protection laws. Where we transfer data internationally, we implement appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable law.
