Creators sign in with Google. Donors can submit their name, an optional email, a message and a tip amount. A paired creator phone may examine supported payment-app notifications locally, sending limited matching data rather than full notification text or SMS. UPI money goes directly to the creator, not Lemonade.
1. Scope and operator
This policy covers the Lemonade website at freshtipzz.vercel.app, its public creator pages, browser-source widgets and Lemonade Android Companion. “Lemonade”, “we” and “us” mean the operator of this creator-support platform. Lemonade is currently in a limited beta intended primarily for Indian creators and their supporters.
Third-party services, including Google, banks, UPI apps and connected payment providers, have their own privacy practices. Their policies apply to data you provide directly to them.
2. Information we collect
- Creator account: Google account identifier, email address and basic profile information returned by Google sign-in; creator display name, handle, bio and settings.
- Payment destinations: creator-provided UPI ID, payment-method preferences, related integration settings and payment-route configuration.
- Support requests: donor display name, optional email, message, amount, requested creator, payment reference, timestamps and request or confirmation status.
- Stream preferences: alert designs, custom HTML/CSS widget templates, goal settings, voice preferences and private overlay access tokens.
- Connected phone: device label, pairing/token records, monitoring and connection status, last contact timestamps, and limited notification-derived matching fields described below.
- Operational data: relevant request and security logs, timestamps and a hash derived from the request IP address where needed to prevent abuse or rate-limit payment requests.
We do not ask for your UPI PIN, OTP, online-banking password or full debit/credit-card details through Lemonade's direct UPI tipping flow.
3. Android Companion and notification access
Notification access is optional and intended for the creator's own receiving Android device. When enabled, the companion can receive notification events through Android's Notification Listener permission. This Android permission can expose notifications to the app; Lemonade's matching logic is designed to examine notifications from supported UPI/payment apps for candidate payments.
For relevant candidates, the companion sends limited data to Lemonade: source app package, detected amount, observation time, an event fingerprint and, when present, a Lemonade payment reference. The app uses authenticated, encrypted network connections to submit these events and device heartbeats. It is not designed to upload the complete notification body, read SMS messages, read contacts, collect banking credentials or monitor a donor's phone.
Notification access may be withdrawn in Android settings. Creators can stop monitoring, remove local pairing, and revoke the paired device from the Lemonade dashboard. Removing the app alone may not immediately revoke its server-side pairing record; revoke the device in the dashboard too.
4. How information is used
- Authenticate creators, maintain accounts and provide creator pages.
- Build QR/payment intents pointing to the creator's own UPI destination, track requests and display their status.
- Match limited phone notification events against pending requests, display accurate status labels and allow creator review.
- Show supporter messages and creator-configured alerts, goals, and text-to-speech through OBS Browser Sources.
- Protect accounts and payment flows against spam, unauthorized requests, abuse and duplicate events.
- Operate, troubleshoot and improve the reliability of Lemonade and its beta features.
Where enabled, voice alerts are generated and played in the creator's browser/OBS environment. A local voice model may need an initial download. Donor messages displayed on stream may be heard or seen publicly.
6. UPI payments and confirmation labels
Direct UPI transfers are initiated in the payer's selected payment app and sent to the creator's specified destination. Lemonade does not take custody of those funds. We may store request details, matching references, status updates and provider-supplied confirmation identifiers.
Important: a matching notification on a creator's phone or a manual creator acknowledgment is not independent bank or settlement verification. Only an appropriately verified payment-provider confirmation, if that integration is available, should be treated as provider verified. Confirm transfers in your own bank or UPI records.
7. Security
We use HTTPS for communication, access controls on account data, authenticated device pairing, and limited-purpose server credentials. Sensitive tokens such as overlay URLs and device pairing tokens must be kept private. No internet-based system is completely secure; contact the operator if you suspect unauthorized access and revoke compromised device and overlay credentials.
8. Retention and deletion
We retain information while needed to operate accounts, open payment requests, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, meet legal obligations and maintain necessary records or backups. Different categories may have different periods; no fixed, universal deletion period is promised during beta. We do not intentionally retain full Android notification bodies as part of the payment-matching record.
You can unpublish your public creator page and revoke connected devices using the creator dashboard. Those actions do not automatically erase account or transaction records. To request access, correction or account/data deletion, use the contact process below. Requests may require identity verification, and some records may be retained where applicable law requires or permits it.
9. Your choices and rights
You can choose whether to supply optional donor email, publish a creator page, enable text-to-speech, pair an Android phone, grant notification access or enable phone-based matching. You may ask about personal information held about you, request corrections or deletion, or withdraw optional permissions where applicable. Legal rights and exceptions depend on your location and applicable law.
10. Children's information
Lemonade's creator-payment and account features are not designed for unsupervised use by children. Do not share personal or payment information on behalf of a child without the authorization required by law. If you believe information about a child has been submitted improperly, contact us to request review and appropriate removal.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when Lemonade changes its features, processors or legal obligations. Material updates will be reflected on this page with a revised effective date; where required, we will provide additional notice.
12. Contact and requests
Lemonade is currently in a limited beta and has not yet published a dedicated support address on this site. If you received beta access directly, use the support channel supplied with your invitation for privacy or account requests. A verified contact address will be published here before general release. Payment disputes should also be raised with the creator and your UPI or banking provider.
For a UPI transfer, refund or bank-settlement dispute, also contact the relevant creator and your payment app or bank. Lemonade cannot reverse an external transfer.
