Scope and who we are
Kislap is an adult learning and community service that helps people practise languages, share skills and make optional social connections. Kislap is operated in the Philippines by JAN RICCA KEITH DELA CRUZ. This policy covers Kislap's website, learning profile, Nearby, connection and safety services.
Kislap also includes independent access to the Telegram network for Telegram accounts, messages, groups and calls. Telegram processes that network data under its own privacy terms. Kislap does not send Telegram credentials or MTProto session material to the Kislap learning service.
Data we process
This includes account identifiers and email address; display name, age confirmation, profile photos and biography; languages, learning goals, skills and availability; approximate or precise device location when permission is granted; connection, safety report and block records; and device, security, diagnostic and usage information.
Why we process data
To create and secure accounts, recommend relevant learning partners, deliver requested communications, enforce community rules, investigate abuse, comply with law, prevent fraud and improve reliability. Kislap does not sell personal information and does not use personal information for cross-app advertising tracking.
Location
Location is optional. Nearby recommendations should use an approximate area and do not display another person's precise coordinates. You may deny permission and continue using city-level or nationwide discovery. Nearby visibility is off by default and can be turned off again at any time.
Sharing and providers
Kislap uses contracted infrastructure and providers for hosting, PostgreSQL and Redis data services, object storage, email delivery, monitoring, push notifications and content safety. Current providers include Alibaba Cloud services in Hong Kong and Singapore and Apple push notification services. Data is shared only as needed to operate, secure, support or lawfully protect the service. Cross-border transfers use contractual and operational safeguards appropriate to the service.
Your rights
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, objection, portability, restriction or deletion. Identity verification may be required to protect the account. You can permanently delete the Kislap learning account from the in-app account settings. A Telegram account is separate and is managed through its corresponding Telegram account controls.
Retention and security
Profile and connection data is retained while the account remains active and removed or de-identified after account deletion, except where limited records are needed for fraud prevention, safety investigations, legal obligations or dispute resolution. One-time codes expire after ten minutes. Report and enforcement records are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for safety and legal purposes. Kislap uses encrypted transport, access controls, restricted credential storage, security logging and backups.
Adults only
Kislap is only for people aged 18 and over.
