Privacy Policy

Effective: May 1, 2025  ·  Last updated: May 2025

1. Introduction

Deseret Singles ("we," "our," or "us") is a dating and social app for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and those who live by its standards. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you use our app.

By creating an account or using Deseret Singles, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Account & Profile Information: When you register, we collect your name, username, email address, password, gender, date of birth, and the profile details you choose to share — photos, bio, interests, location, height, occupation, and other optional fields.

Photos & Media: Photos you upload to your profile or album are stored on our servers. You may optionally record a short voice introduction.

Location: With your permission, we access your device's approximate location to show nearby members and events. You may disable location access in your device settings at any time.

Messages: The content of messages you send to other members is stored to deliver those messages.

Usage Data: We may collect information about how you interact with the app (features used, screens visited) to improve the experience.

Device Information: We may collect your device type, operating system version, and app version for diagnostics and support.

3. How We Use Your Information

· Provide and operate the app, including matching, messaging, and event features.

· Verify your identity and prevent fraud.

· Send account-related emails (verification, password reset, notifications).

· Display your profile to other members based on your preferences.

· Process payments for premium subscriptions via Apple's in-app purchase system.

· Respond to support requests and enforce our Terms of Service.

· Improve the app through aggregated, anonymized analytics.

4. Sharing of Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We share information only as necessary to operate the service:

Supabase (supabase.com): Provides our database and authentication infrastructure. Your profile and message data is stored on Supabase servers.

Resend (resend.com): Powers transactional emails such as verification codes and password resets.

Apple Inc.: In-app purchases and subscription billing are handled by Apple's StoreKit framework. We do not receive or store your payment card details.

Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

Messages may be retained for a short period after deletion to complete delivery and ensure system integrity.

6. Your Rights & Choices

Access & Correction: You can view and update your profile information at any time within the app.

Account Deletion: You may delete your account from Profile → Settings. This removes your profile and associated data.

Location: You can revoke location access in your device's Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services at any time.

Push Notifications: You can disable push notifications in your device settings.

Data Requests: To request a copy of your data or ask questions about your information, contact us at hello@deseretsingles.com.

7. Children's Privacy

Deseret Singles is intended for users 18 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that a user is under 18, we will delete their account promptly.

8. Security

We use industry-standard security measures, including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS) and secure cloud storage provided by Supabase. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to keep your account credentials private.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you in the app or by email. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

The current version is always available within the app under Profile → Privacy Policy and at deseretsingles.com/privacy.
