2. Sources of Information

We collect information from the following sources:

  • You Directly: Registration, profile creation, messaging, meetup participation, mobile-number submission, and SMS verification consent.
  • Automated Technologies: Cookies, Google Analytics, Google Ads, and conversion tracking.
  • Service Providers: Payment processors, SMS and telecommunications providers, hosting providers, analytics providers, and fraud-prevention services.
  • Third Parties: Stripe, PayPal, affiliate systems, and other service providers used to operate the Platform.
  • User Interactions: Member content and reported violations submitted through the three-dot “Report Profile” feature.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

Providing Services
Account management, member messaging, search filters, and meetup notifications provided with your consent.

SMS Account Verification
When you voluntarily provide your mobile number and actively consent to receive a verification text, we may send an automated, one-time SMS verification code. These messages are transactional and are used solely to verify account ownership, protect account security, and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized registrations.

One verification message may be sent for each verification attempt. Message and data rates may apply. You may reply HELP for assistance or STOP to opt out of further messages.

Consent to receive an SMS verification message is not a condition of purchasing a paid subscription or other goods or services. We do not use SMS verification consent to send marketing or promotional text messages.

Personalization
Tailoring content and match suggestions.

Analytics and Improvement
Improving Platform functionality, reliability, usability, and performance using analytics tools.

Advertising and Promotions
Providing personalized advertisements through Google Ads and affiliate systems, subject to applicable law and your privacy choices.

Community Safety
Content moderation, account verification, fraud prevention, and investigation of reported violations.

Legal Compliance
Preventing fraud, responding to lawful requests, enforcing our policies, and complying with legal obligations.

4. Sharing Your Information

We may share your information with:

  • Service providers that help us operate the Platform, including hosting, analytics, payment-processing, customer-support, fraud-prevention, SMS, and telecommunications providers.
  • Affiliate partners, subject to applicable law and the mobile-information restrictions stated below.
  • Legal authorities when disclosure is required by law, legal process, or a valid governmental request.
  • Parties involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or other business transfer.

Mobile Information and SMS Consent
No mobile information will be sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be sold, rented, transferred, or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

We may disclose mobile information to service providers acting on our behalf solely as necessary to transmit account-verification messages, provide technical support, prevent fraud, protect account security, process opt-out requests, or comply with applicable law. These service providers are not authorized to use mobile information or SMS consent for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

All categories of personal information described in this Privacy Policy exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent where disclosure to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes is concerned.

Selling or Sharing of Information
Identifiers, internet activity, and inferences may be sold or shared as those terms are defined under the CCPA and CPRA. However, mobile telephone numbers, SMS opt-in records, text messaging originator data, and SMS consent are expressly excluded from such sale or sharing and will not be disclosed to third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

8. Security Measures

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, including encryption, secure servers, access controls, and monitoring, to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
