- Why: To create friend matches, personalize your experience, and improve our service.
- Who sees it: Only Vrennly's systems and trusted service providers (like Google Maps for address suggestions).
- Your choices: You can delete your account anytime, and we'll delete your personal data when you do.
- We don't sell or rent your data. Ever.
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how Vrennly collects, uses, and protects personal information from users ("you," "your") of our website and mobile application. By using Vrennly, you agree to this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Account Information: name, email address, age, gender, and password.
- Profile Information: photos, personality quiz answers, interests, and other optional details you provide.
- Communications: chat logs, messages, and correspondence between users.
- Usage Data: device type, app interactions, IP address, and general analytics.
- Location Data: approximate or predicted address information using the Google Maps API (subject to Google's Privacy Policy).
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your data to:
- Operate, personalize, and improve the app.
- Provide friendship-matching and communication features.
- Send account notifications and support messages.
- Analyze usage to improve our algorithms and user experience.
- Ensure safety, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell or rent personal data. We may share limited information with:
- Service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics, email delivery).
- Google Maps API to provide address suggestions.
- Law enforcement or authorities if required by law or to protect safety.
Each provider processes data only as needed to deliver their services.
5. Cookies and Analytics
Our website and app may use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences and measure app performance. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized whenever possible.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to provide our services. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data from active systems within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by law. This includes:
- Message content you sent may be replaced with a placeholder rather than physically removing the underlying message record, where necessary to preserve conversation history for other participants. No personal data remains attached to the message.
- A record that an account deletion occurred may be retained for up to 1 year for legal and security purposes. This record does not contain your personal data.
7. Data Security
We use industry-standard security measures (encryption, secure hosting, limited access) to protect your data. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
8. Your Choices and Rights
You can:
- Access, edit, or delete your account information at any time.
- Request deletion of your personal data by contacting us.
- Opt out of non-essential communications.
To make a request, contact privacy@vrenn.ly.
9. Children's Privacy
Vrennly is intended for U.S. adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If we learn that a child has provided personal data, we will delete it immediately.
10. Links to Other Services
Vrennly may link to third-party sites or services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The "Last Updated" date will indicate the most recent version. Continued use after changes means you accept the revised policy.
