Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how KissConnection ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information about users of kissconnection.com ("the Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

• Account information: username, email address, password (stored as a one-way hash), date of birth, gender, ZIP code.
• Profile information: bio, headline, "looking for" description, height, location, lifestyle attributes.
• Media: photos and 60-second introduction videos. Videos are hosted by Cloudflare Stream.
• Communications: messages sent between members.
• Usage data: log files, IP address, browser type, pages viewed, timestamps.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information collected to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
• Match you with other members based on your preferences.
• Send transactional emails (account verification, password reset, message notifications).
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
• Comply with legal obligations.

3. Information Visible to Other Members

Your username, age, gender, location (city/state/ZIP), profile photos, intro video, and bio are visible to other registered members. You can hide your profile at any time in your settings.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:

• With service providers (e.g., Cloudflare for video hosting, our hosting provider) under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
• To comply with legal process, lawful requests, or to protect rights and safety.
• With your consent.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account data while your account is active. You may delete your account at any time, which will remove your profile and media from public view. Some data may be retained for legal or fraud-prevention purposes.

6. Security

We use industry-standard practices to protect your data, including password hashing (bcrypt), HTTPS encryption, and access controls. No system is perfectly secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

You may access, correct, or delete your information at any time through your account settings, or by contacting us. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional rights under laws like GDPR or CCPA.

8. Children

KissConnection is for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We'll notify you of material changes via email or by posting a notice on the Service.
