Privacy policy
Last updated: 13 November 2026
Shevy is a women-only app for kitty groups, friends and a private personal space. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. It applies to the Shevy app and shevy.knobee.app.
What we collect
- Account details: your name, age, phone number, city (optional), and birthday and anniversary dates if you add them.
- Kitty information: kitties you create or join, members, rounds, venues, dates, who has paid, who received the kitty, and kitty rules.
- Face check: to keep Shevy women-only, you take one selfie at signup. It is sent securely to our server, analysed once by an automated face-analysis service (Amazon Rekognition) to estimate whether the person is female, and then discarded. We never store the photo. We keep only the result (verified, under review or rejected), a confidence score and the time of the check.
- Reports and usage: reports you submit, the last time you used the app, and anonymous counts of views and taps on Discover banners.
What stays on your phone
Your app lock (PIN, Face ID or fingerprint) is handled by your phone. Shevy never receives your fingerprint or face data from the lock. Your sign-in token is kept in your phone's secure storage.
How we use it
- To run your kitties and show members what they need (names, rounds, payments).
- To keep the community women-only and safe, including reviewing reports and blocking accounts that break the rules.
- To send login codes by SMS when phone verification is turned on.
- To improve the app using overall, non-identifying usage counts.
Who can see your information
Members of a kitty see each other's names and kitty activity. Your phone number is never shown to other users. We do not sell your data and we do not use it for advertising profiles. We share data only with service providers that help run Shevy (hosting, SMS delivery, face analysis) under strict confidentiality, or when required by law.
Where it is stored
Your data is stored on secure servers we operate. Information is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). PINs are stored only as one-way hashes.
Your choices and rights
- Delete your account any time in the app: Home → Account → Delete my account. This permanently deletes your profile and removes you from all kitties.
- You can correct your name and city in the app, or ask us to access, correct or delete your data by writing to hello@knobee.app.
- We handle personal data in line with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
Age
Shevy is only for women aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to create an account.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date above and, for important changes, tell you in the app.
