This Privacy Policy describes how curious.fun (the "Company", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our website, apps, and related services (the "Service"). We value our members and recognize your right to keep personal information private. By using the Service, you agree to our Terms of Service and to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Service.
We are not responsible for information you disclose to third parties, such as to other members of the Service or to other sites and apps across the Internet. Please use caution when sharing information with other people you meet through the Service.
Information you provide. When you create an account, build a profile, post, or communicate through the Service, we may collect:
Verification information. Because the Service requires identity verification, we also collect a photo and a real-time selfie that is matched against that photo to confirm you are a real person. This information is treated as sensitive and is handled as described in the "How We Handle Verification Data" section below.
Information collected automatically. When you use the Service, we may automatically collect usage and device information, including:
Information from other sources. We may receive information about you from service providers and other sources and combine it with information we collect, for purposes such as security and fraud prevention.
We use the information we collect to:
We know that being asked to verify your identity raises privacy concerns, so we limit how verification media is used. Your verification photo and selfie are used solely to confirm that you are a real, unique person. They are not displayed on your public profile, are stored using encryption, and are deleted after the verification match is complete, except where we are required to retain certain records to comply with law, prevent fraud, or investigate violations of our Terms. We do not sell verification data.
Messages you exchange with other members are protected with encryption designed to keep your conversations private. We may process limited metadata (such as the fact that a message was sent) to operate the Service and to detect abuse, and we may access content where required to respond to reports, enforce our Terms, or comply with law. Please remember that the recipient of a message can still copy, save, or share what you send.
Posts and certain profile details are public or semi-public and may be viewable by other members and visitors. Anything you choose to share with another member, or post publicly, may be seen, copied, or further shared by others. Do not include sensitive personal or contact information in your public posts.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information as follows:
We and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons and device identifiers) to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, understand how the Service is used, and improve and secure it. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies; however, some features of the Service may not function properly if you do. Your browser may allow you to transmit a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no industry consensus on how to respond to these signals, we currently do not alter our practices in response to them.
We take reasonable technical, administrative, and physical measures designed to protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements. When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required or permitted by law. Some residual or cached data may remain archived for a limited period.
Communications. You can opt out of promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link in those emails, and you can manage many communication preferences in your account settings. We may still send you non-promotional messages about your account, security, or transactions.
Access and deletion. You can review and update much of your profile and account information through your account settings, and you can request to delete your account at any time. To make a request or ask a question about your information, contact us through our support page. We may take steps to verify your identity before acting on a request.
The Service is intended only for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18 years of age (or the age of majority where that is higher). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has used the Service or provided us information, please contact us through our support page so we can take appropriate action.
We are based in the United States and the information we collect is governed by U.S. law. If you access the Service from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to, processed, stored, and used in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer, processing, and storage.
California residents. Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources and purposes of that collection, the categories of recipients, and to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions. We do not sell personal information as defined by California's "Shine the Light" law for third parties' direct marketing purposes without your consent, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
Nevada residents. We do not sell "covered information" as defined under Nevada law. You may contact us to register a request regarding the sale of covered information.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our support page. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes become effective when we post the revised policy, and your continued use of the Service indicates your acceptance. We will not use previously collected personal information in a materially different way without your consent. Please review this page periodically.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us through our support page at https://www.curious.fun/support/.
