Introduction
At Sloda ("we," "us," or "our"), your privacy is fundamental to our mission of fostering authentic connections. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use our dating app ("App"). By accessing the App, you agree to these terms.

1. Information We Collect
We gather data to enhance your experience and ensure secure interactions:

• Activity: Messages, shared content, swipe patterns, and feature usage.

• Device & Technical Data: IP address, device type, operating system, and cookies.

2. How We Use Your Information
Your data enables us to:

• Create Matches: Pair users via behavioral insights and shared interests, not algorithms.

• Personalize Features: Suggest events (e.g., trivia nights) and icebreakers tailored to your habits.

• Secure Interactions: Detect fraud, verify profiles via facial-ID tech, and enforce community guidelines.

• Improve Services: Analyze trends to refine our Human-First Matching system.

3. Sharing Your Data
We only share information when necessary:

• With Matches: Profile details and interests to spark conversations (you control visibility).

• Service Providers: Trusted vendors for hosting, analytics, and customer support.

• Legal Compliance: Respond to lawful requests or protect user safety.

We never sell your data or share it for third-party ads.

• Withdraw Consent: Email Sloda@cdxswx.com to revoke permissions.

5. Security Measures
We employ encryption, regular audits, and bias-resistant algorithms to safeguard your data. While no system is 100% secure, we prioritize transparency: report breaches within 72 hours of detection.

6. Children’s Privacy
The App is for users 18+. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. Contact us immediately if a child under 18 uses the App.

7. Updates & Contact
We may update this policy to reflect legal or operational changes. Continued use implies acceptance.
