Privacy by design
Every location-based app faces the same temptation: collect as much as possible, keep it forever and quietly pass it on. Lirel was built on the opposite belief. Proximity can be a professional superpower without asking you to trade away your safety, your identity or your personal data. Your precise location is worked out privately and never shared as coordinates. Others see only a deliberately rounded, approximate distance, which removes the triangulation trick that plagues other proximity apps. Only verified professionals get in, because verification is required before the app even opens up, so there is no anonymous access and no room for fake profiles. We run no advertising or tracking identifiers, sell nothing and share with no data brokers. Your rights are honoured under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023: know, correct, delete, restrict, object, port and withdraw consent, with deletion that securely erases your data once the law's limited retention window has passed.
