Last updated: December 2024

1. Introduction

Welcome to Sauci ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By using Sauci, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Service.

  • Analytics: To understand app usage and improve our service.
  • Payment Processing: RevenueCat for subscription management (we do not store payment details).

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our Service

4. Privacy of Your Responses

Important: Your Individual Answers Are Private

Your individual responses to questions are never shared with your partner or anyone else. Only when both partners respond positively (yes or maybe) to the same question is a "match" created and revealed to both users. This ensures that you can answer honestly without fear of judgment.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

  • With Your Partner: Match information (when both respond positively) and messages within chat threads.
  • Service Providers: Third-party vendors who assist in operating our Service (hosting, analytics, payment processing).
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law, legal process, or to protect our rights and safety.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes encryption of data in transit and at rest, secure authentication, and regular security assessments. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal purposes.

8. Your Rights and Choices

You have the following rights regarding your data:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data.
  • Portability: Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
  • Opt-out: Disable push notifications through your device settings.

9. Children's Privacy

Sauci is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 18, we will delete that information promptly.

10. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have different data protection laws. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information when transferred internationally.
