Welcome to DatingBooster ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use the DatingBooster mobile application and related services (the "Service"). By using our Service, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to all users who access or use the Service, regardless of their location. We comply with relevant privacy regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA). This Policy also outlines our data handling practices for users worldwide, where applicable.

2. Information We Collect

Personal Information

Email Address: We collect your email address when you create an account or otherwise provide it to us. This allows us to verify your identity, provide account-related functionalities, and communicate important updates.

Device Information

Camera Access (Pictures): When you use certain features of the Service (e.g., uploading a profile photo), we may request temporary access to your device's camera or photo library. Images are not permanently stored on our servers; they are processed only as needed to provide the requested functionality.

Analytics and Usage Data

We use Google Analytics and Firebase to gather usage data such as session duration, pages viewed, and app interactions. This helps us improve the Service and troubleshoot potential issues.

Payment Information

When you purchase a subscription through Apple or Google (in-app purchases), your payment information is processed by those third-party payment platforms. We do not directly store or process your financial details on our servers. We only receive confirmation of payment status and limited payment-related details necessary to provide the Service.

To Analyze and Improve the Service

We use analytics tools like Google Analytics and Firebase to understand user interactions. This helps us optimize performance, develop new features, and enhance the user experience.

The Service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at datingboosterai (at) gmail (dot) com so we can remove it.

10. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Service Providers

We may share personal data with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., hosting providers, analytics services like Google Analytics and Firebase) who assist us in operating the Service.
