1. Introduction & General Provisions

Welcome to SnapFuck. Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy document details the types of information that are collected and recorded by SnapFuck ("we," "us," "our") and how we use it to operate the SnapFuck platform (the "Service").

This policy applies to all information collected through our website (snapfuckk.com), our mobile applications, and any related services, sales, marketing, or events. By accessing or using the Service, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Service.

We are committed to protecting your personal data and your right to privacy in the context of adult-oriented social connections. This platform is intended for users who are of legal age in their jurisdiction.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.

Personal Identification Information

When you register an account, we may ask for certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you, which may include:

• Account Data: Username, email address, hashed password, age verification data, and profile preferences.
• Profile Information: Display name, profile pictures, biography, gender, sexual orientation, location (city-level, not precise address), and connection interests that you choose to provide.
• Verification Data: Information submitted for account verification purposes to ensure community safety and authenticity, which may be processed by automated systems and human moderators.

Usage & Technical Data

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Service. This information does not reveal your specific identity but may include device and usage information, such as:

• Device Information: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, and mobile network information.
• Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, clickstream data, search queries, features used, and the dates and times of your visits.
• Interaction Data: Metadata about your connections, matches, message timestamps (not message content, which is end-to-end encrypted), and snap exchange logs.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:

• Provide, Operate, and Maintain our Service: To create your account, facilitate matches, and enable private communication features.
• Improve, Personalize, and Expand our Service: To understand how our users interact with the platform and to develop new features that enhance your experience.
• Communicate With You: To send you service-related communications (e.g., account verification, match notifications, security alerts). We do not use your personal data for unsolicited marketing without your explicit consent.
• Ensure Safety and Security: To monitor for and prevent fraudulent activity, spam, abuse, and violations of our Terms of Service. This includes automated scanning for prohibited content and manual review in certain cases.
• Comply with Legal Obligations: To respond to legal requests, court orders, or to exercise our legal rights, such as defending against claims.

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds: your consent, the necessity to perform our contract with you (the Terms of Service), our legitimate interests (e.g., security, improving the Service), and compliance with legal obligations.

4. Sharing Data with Third Parties

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners and advertisers.

We may share your data in the following specific situations:

• Service Providers: With trusted third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, data analysis, payment processing, email delivery, and customer service. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify.
• Legal Requirements: If required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
• Business Transfers: In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company.
• With Your Consent: We may disclose your personal information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

5. Data Protection & Security

We implement a variety of technical and organizational security measures designed to maintain the safety of your personal information. Our security practices include:

• Encryption: We use industry-standard transport layer security (TLS/SSL) to encrypt data in transit. Private message content is protected with end-to-end encryption where only you and the recipient can read it.
• Access Controls: Strict internal access controls limit which of our employees and contractors can access user data, and only on a need-to-know basis.
• Secure Infrastructure: Our servers are hosted in secure data centers with robust physical and network security.
• Regular Security Assessments: We conduct periodic reviews of our security practices and vulnerability assessments.

Despite our safeguards, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.

6. Your Rights

• Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: You can request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You can request the deletion of your personal data, subject to certain legal exceptions (e.g., where we need to retain data for legal compliance).
