Gotnudes Privacy Policy: How We Protect Your Data and Privacy

Welcome to gotnudes. Your privacy is of paramount importance to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information we collect, how it is used, shared, and protected, and the choices you have regarding your data. By accessing or using our dating platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this policy.

This document applies to all information collected through our website, mobile applications, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). It is designed to help you understand our data practices in a transparent manner, in compliance with applicable data protection laws including the GDPR and CCPA.

To provide you with a personalized and effective dating experience, we collect several categories of information:

• Information You Provide: This includes data you submit during registration (name, email, date of birth, gender, preferences), profile details (biography, photos, interests), communication content (messages, chats), and any other information you voluntarily share on your profile or through customer support.
• Automatically Collected Information: When you use our Service, we automatically gather technical data such as your IP address, device type, browser information, operating system, pages viewed, time spent, clickstream data, and referring URLs. This helps us understand how you interact with our platform.
• Information from Third Parties: We may receive information about you from other sources, such as social media platforms (if you connect your account), advertising partners, or data enrichment services to supplement our records (e.g., to verify your identity or prevent fraud).
• Usage and Preference Data: We collect data on your interactions, such as likes, matches, searches, and profile visits, to improve our matching algorithms and service functionality.

We use your personal information for the following legitimate business purposes:

• To create, maintain, and secure your user account.
• To facilitate matches and connections between users based on compatibility algorithms.
• To personalize your experience, including showing you relevant profiles and content.
• To communicate with you about service updates, security alerts, promotional offers (where consented), and administrative messages.
• To improve, test, and optimize our Service, including developing new features and conducting research.
• To monitor and analyze usage trends and metrics to enhance platform performance and safety.
• To enforce our Terms of Service, prevent fraud, protect the rights and safety of our users and third parties, and comply with legal obligations.

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

• Service Providers: With trusted vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, payment processing, data analysis, customer service, email delivery, and marketing assistance. These partners are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, court order, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of gotnudes, our users, or the public.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, where user information may be transferred as a business asset. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control.
• With Your Consent: We may share information for specific purposes with your explicit permission, such as when you choose to connect your profile to a social media account.
• Aggregated or Anonymized Data: We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information with partners for research, analytical, or demographic purposes. This data cannot be used to identify you individually.

We implement robust technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption (both in transit and at rest), access controls, secure server infrastructure, and regular security assessments.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but we are committed to responding promptly to any suspected data breaches and notifying you and applicable regulators where we are legally required to do so.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. These may include:

• Access and Portability: The right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Correction: The right to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Deletion: The right to request deletion of your personal data, subject to certain legal exceptions.
• Restriction and Objection: The right to restrict or object to our processing of your personal data under specific circumstances.
• Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
• Marketing Preferences: You can opt-out of receiving promotional communications by following the unsubscribe instructions in those emails or adjusting your notification settings in your account. You will still receive transactional messages related to your account.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will respond to legitimate requests within the timeframe required by applicable law.
