1. Overview & Commitment
Welcome to TeleHub (the TeleHub Android mobile application, available on Google Play), operated by TeleHub Official ("we", "us", or "our"), located in Pakistan. We are committed to safeguarding your personal data, honoring transparency, and respecting user privacy rights across all web, Android, and mobile services.
This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how that information is utilized, stored, and protected, and the choices available to you regarding your personal data.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following categories to provide and enhance our services:
- Account & Profile Information: When you register or authenticate (via Google OAuth or guest mode), we collect your name, email address, profile avatar URL, and user identifier assigned by Firebase Authentication.
- User-Generated Content & Submissions: Telegram public channel usernames, group invite URLs, descriptions, category tags, and submission timestamps you provide when listing or promoting a community.
- VIP & Payment Verification Data: When purchasing VIP subscriptions or promotional placement via manual gateways (e.g. EasyPaisa, JazzCash, USDT) or Google Play Billing, we log the transaction identifier (TRX ID), sender reference, plan duration, amount paid, and approval timestamps. We do not store credit card numbers or banking passwords.
- Usage Analytics & Visit Counters: Aggregate statistics on community views, link clicks, search queries, and ad impressions to provide public popularity rankings and verify advertising performance.
- Technical & Device Data: Browser user agent, operating system version, device model, language preference, and approximate geolocation (country level) collected automatically for security logging and bot defense.
3. How We Use Your Data
We process your data strictly for legitimate operational purposes:
To maintain and display the Telegram channel directory, verify links, and deliver search results.
To activate VIP crown badges, prioritize verified listings, and process advertising campaigns.
To detect malicious submissions, block adult/fraudulent keywords, and prevent platform abuse.
To send transactional notifications, submission status updates, and critical security announcements.
4. Third-Party Service Providers
We partner with established cloud and infrastructure providers who adhere to strict data privacy standards:
- Google Firebase: Realtime Database, Cloud Firestore, and Firebase Authentication for secure persistence and token handling.
- Google Play Billing: In-app digital purchase processing for Android mobile applications.
- Telegram APIs: Public profile scraping to verify subscriber counts and channel metadata.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party data brokers or marketing agencies.
5. Data Retention & User Rights (Right to Deletion)
You retain full ownership and control of your personal data. Under applicable privacy regulations (such as GDPR and CCPA), you are entitled to:
- Request a copy of personal information held in our records.
- Request immediate correction of outdated or inaccurate data.
- Request complete deletion of your account, submitted channels, active advertisements, and linked records.
When an account is deleted by user request or administrative moderation, our system cascades the deletion to remove associated links and banners to prevent orphan data.
6. Children's Privacy Protection
Our services are not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please reach out to us immediately via the Contact & Support section in the TeleHub app for prompt removal.
7. Information Security Safeguards
We employ industry-standard administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, including SSL/TLS 256-bit encryption in transit, strict Firestore security rules, rate limiting, and encrypted session handling. While no electronic transmission is 100% infallible, we regularly audit and upgrade our defenses.
