California Privacy Notice
Effective date: April 27, 2026 Last updated: July 26, 2026
Notice to California Residents
This California Privacy Notice (“Notice”) supplements our Privacy Policy and applies specifically to residents of the State of California. It is provided pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA).
If you are a California resident and have questions about this Notice or wish to exercise your rights, see Section 6 below.
1. Categories of Personal Information We Collect
In the preceding 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information from or about California consumers who use DancingPartners:
| Category (CCPA/CPRA) | Examples | Collected? |
|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | Email address, name, verified phone number, device ID, advertising ID | Yes |
| Personal information under Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e) | Profile name, date of birth | Yes |
| Characteristics of protected classifications | Age (18+), gender (self-reported) | Yes |
| Commercial information | None — the App is ad-supported and has no in-app purchases or subscriptions | No |
| Internet or other electronic network activity | App interactions, swipes, sessions, profiles viewed, and the content of chat messages you send to matches | Yes |
| Geolocation data | Precise location (foreground only, used for match discovery) | Yes |
| Sensory data | Profile and album photos; the face scan (verification selfie) captured during face verification | Yes |
| Biometric information | A face scan (verification selfie) processed for identity and age verification. We do not retain the image or create a face template — see the Privacy Policy, “Biometric data: face verification” | Yes |
| Inferences | Dance-style profile derived from user selections and ratings; estimated age range derived from the face scan | Yes |
| Sensitive personal information | Precise geolocation; biometric information processed for the purpose of uniquely identifying you (the face scan); data that may reveal sexual orientation (limited — gender and interest preferences are self-reported) | Yes |
For more detail on how and why we collect each category, see Sections 3 and 4 of our Privacy Policy; for how long we retain each category, see Section 9 of the Privacy Policy (How Long We Retain Your Data).
2. Sources of Personal Information
We collect personal information:
- Directly from you — when you register, create or update your profile, send messages, or contact us.
- Automatically — through device data, location services, usage events, and crash logs.
- From third-party providers — Google Sign-In and Apple Sign-In, if you choose to use them; Google (Firebase Phone Authentication), which confirms the phone number you verify by SMS; and Apple (Declared Age Range) and Google (Play Age Signals) platform age-assurance APIs, which return an age-range signal during onboarding to help block minors.
3. Business and Commercial Purposes for Collection
We use the personal information listed in Section 1 for the following purposes:
- Providing and operating the DancingPartners matching service.
- Displaying potential matches based on location and preferences.
- Sending push notifications.
- Displaying advertising (non-personalized by default; personalized only with explicit consent).
- Verifying that you are a real person, estimating that you are 18 or older, and confirming that your face scan matches your profile photos.
- Fraud detection, safety enforcement, and legal compliance.
- Service improvement and analytics (aggregated and anonymized where possible).
We do not use sensitive personal information for any purpose beyond what is necessary to provide the service and as described in this Notice and our Privacy Policy.
4. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information.
By default, ads shown to California users are non-personalized. If you grant App Tracking Transparency / advertising-identifier consent for personalized ads, your advertising identifier may be shared with Google AdMob for cross-context behavioral advertising, which California law treats as “sharing.” You may withdraw that consent at any time (see Section 6).
California law defines “sharing” broadly to include making personal information available to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, even without monetary exchange. Other than the consent-based personalized-advertising use of your advertising identifier described above, we do not engage in this practice. We do not have actual knowledge that we sell or share personal information of consumers under 16 years of age (and our App is 18+ only).
5. Disclosure of Personal Information for Business Purposes
We disclose personal information to the following categories of third parties for operational purposes only:
| Category of third party | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Cloud hosting provider (Supabase) | Backend database, object storage |
| Crash diagnostics / push notifications / SMS verification (Google Firebase) | Crash reporting, push delivery, one-time SMS verification codes |
| Advertising network (Google AdMob) | Serving ads (non-personalized to US users by default) |
| Authentication providers (Google, Apple) | Optional sign-in |
| Biometric verification provider (Amazon Web Services — Amazon Rekognition) | Age-range estimation and comparison of the face scan against profile photos |
| Automated content moderation provider (OpenAI) | Safety screening of uploaded photos and chat messages |
| Transactional email provider (Resend) | Account-deletion confirmations, email-verification codes, and account-recovery codes |
These disclosures are for our operational purposes only. We do not disclose personal information for the recipients’ own marketing purposes.
6. Your California Privacy Rights
As a California resident, you have the following rights under the CCPA/CPRA:
Right to Know
You may request that we disclose: the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you; the categories of sources; the business or commercial purposes for collection; and the categories of third parties to whom we have disclosed it.
Right to Delete
You may request deletion of personal information we have collected about you, subject to certain exceptions (for example, data we are legally required to retain, or data needed to complete a transaction you requested).
Right to Correct
You may request correction of inaccurate personal information. Most fields are editable directly in the App under Profile → Edit.
Right to Opt Out of Sale / Sharing
You may opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. We do not sell personal information. As described in Section 4, the only “sharing” we engage in is the consent-based use of your advertising identifier for personalized ads. To opt out of this sharing, decline the App Tracking Transparency prompt (iOS) or reset or limit your advertising ID in your device settings; California users then receive only non-personalized ads. If our practices otherwise change, we will update this Notice and provide any additional opt-out mechanism before the change takes effect.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information
You may direct us to limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information (such as precise location and the biometric face scan) to what is necessary to provide the service. We currently use sensitive personal information only as described in this Notice: precise location is used to show nearby dance partners, and the face scan is used solely to verify that you are a real person, to estimate that you are 18 or older, and to match you to your profile photos. Neither is used to infer characteristics about you for advertising. You may disable location access at any time in your device settings. Face verification is a requirement to use the App, so it cannot be limited while your account is active; you may delete your account at any time.
Right to Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you — including by denying services, charging different prices, or providing a different level of service — for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights.
7. How to Exercise Your Rights
