Your Privacy Matters
This Privacy Policy describes how Dating in Pittsburgh collects, uses, and protects your personal information.
Effective Date: January 1, 2025
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us when creating an account, such as your name, email address, and profile photo. We also collect usage data including events you view, challenges you participate in, and journal entries you create. Journal entries are encrypted and visible only to you.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services; send you notifications about events and challenges you have opted into; process subscription payments through our secure payment processor (Stripe); and respond to your comments and questions.
3. Information Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share aggregate, anonymized data that does not identify any individual. We share information with service providers who assist us in operating the app (e.g., Stripe for payment processing, Supabase for database hosting), subject to confidentiality agreements.
4. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored securely using Supabase, which employs industry-standard encryption at rest and in transit. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
5. Messaging
Premium members may exchange messages with other members. All messages are stored securely and are only accessible to the sender and recipient. We do not read your private messages except where required by law.
6. Your Rights
You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information at any time. You can update your profile in the app settings. To delete your account and all associated data, use the "Delete Account" option in your profile settings or contact us at support@datinginpittsburgh.com.
7. Cookies & Tracking
Our app does not use third-party advertising cookies. We may use limited analytics to understand how the app is used in aggregate in order to improve the experience.
8. Children's Privacy
Our service is intended for users 18 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, please contact us immediately.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy in the app and updating the effective date below. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
