Nothing hidden in the fine print

How bphc.social actually works.

From sign-in to match reveal, here is the whole journey — including what the other person can and cannot see.

01

Sign in with your BITS account

Google confirms your campus email, and bphc.social checks that it belongs to a student in the BITS Hyderabad directory. We do not create public profiles.

02

Choose one person

Search the campus directory by branch and name. You cannot choose yourself, submit the same pick twice, or see how often anyone else has been picked.

03

Your pick stays silent

The other person receives no notification, clue, count, or profile view. Only you can see the pick in your own history.

04

A match reveals both sides

If that person independently picks you, bphc.social confirms the pair and reveals the match to both of you at the same time. It never reveals who picked first.

05

A seven-day cooldown slows things down

After a pick, you wait seven days before making another. This reduces spam, discourages guessing, and keeps each choice intentional.

06

You stay in control

You can remove your own picks and request account deletion. Removing a one-sided pick means it can no longer become a future match.

The reveal rule

What happens in every scenario?

One-sided

You pick them

Only you see it. They receive nothing and cannot infer that a pick exists.

Mutual

You pick each other

Both of you see the match together. Neither person is identified as “first.”

Removed

You delete your pick

It disappears from your active history and cannot produce a later match.

One choice. No public performance.

If it is mutual, you will find out together.
