FindMyMates ("we," "us," or "our") operates the findmymates.com website and related services (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1Information We Collect
When you create an account or use the Service, we collect:
- Account information: name, username, email address, and password (stored as a secure hash — we never store or have access to your plain-text password).
- Optional profile information: phone number, location, and a short bio, if you choose to provide them.
- Google account information: if you sign in using "Sign in with Google," we receive your name, email address, and a unique Google account identifier from Google. We do not receive your Google password.
- Verification data: to confirm your email or phone number, we send one-time verification codes and record whether verification succeeded.
- Usage information: basic technical data such as login timestamps and account activity, used to secure your account and improve the Service.
2How We Use Your Information
- To create and manage your account
- To verify your identity via email or phone
- To let you connect with other users for shared activities
- To maintain the security of the Service and prevent abuse
- To communicate with you about your account (e.g. password resets, verification codes)
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
3Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services to operate FindMyMates:
- Google Sign-In: used to offer a faster, secure way to create an account and log in. Google's handling of your data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
- Firebase: used to verify phone numbers via one-time passcodes.
- Email delivery provider: used to send verification codes and account-related emails.
4Data Retention
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your personal information from our active systems, except where retention is required for legal, security, or fraud-prevention purposes.
5Your Choices
- You can update your profile information at any time from your account settings.
- You can deactivate or permanently delete your account from your account settings.
- If you signed up using Google, you can revoke FindMyMates' access at any time via your Google Account permissions page.
6Data Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including password hashing and encrypted connections. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7Children's Privacy
FindMyMates is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have collected information from a user under 18, we will delete it.
8Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last updated" date above, and where appropriate, through the Service directly.
