Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Paramint LLC ("Review My Hinge," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects your personal information when you use our mobile application, website, or any related services, tools, or features (collectively, the "Platform").

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the Platform, including:

• Individuals submitting dating profiles for feedback ("Users");
• Individuals providing reviews and services ("Reviewers");
• Visitors browsing the site or app.

This Policy also applies to any information we collect offline (such as email or support interactions), and any third-party integrations used in connection with the Platform, including payment processors, login providers, and analytics tools.

Please note that our Platform may include links to third-party sites or services that we do not control. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before interacting with them.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update or modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we do, we will post the revised version here and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of the page. We will also notify you of material changes through the Platform or via email.

The updated Privacy Policy becomes effective on the date it is posted, unless a later effective date is specified. By continuing to use the Platform after the updated Privacy Policy goes into effect, you agree to the terms of the revised policy.

We collect information in a few different ways: directly from you, automatically as you use the Platform, and from third-party services you choose to interact with. Some of this information may be considered "personal information" under applicable privacy laws.

We treat any information that identifies you or can reasonably be associated with you as personal information. If we combine non-personal information with personal information, we treat the combined data as personal.

a. Information You Provide to Us

We collect the information you choose to provide when using the Platform, including:

• Account Information: When you sign up, we collect your name, email address, password (or social login ID), and any other account-related details you submit.
• Profile Submissions: When you submit your dating profile for review, we collect photos, prompts, bios, text responses, and any other content you upload or enter into the Platform.
• Payment and Purchase Data: When you purchase a Review Package, we may collect limited billing information (such as last four digits of your card or billing zip), although full payment data is handled securely by our third-party processor (Stripe).
• Reviewer Data: If you're a Reviewer, we collect additional information like your bio, specialties, Stripe Connect account details, pricing, and turnaround times.
• Support and Communication: If you contact us (e.g., through support requests, feedback, or emails), we collect the information you provide in those messages.
• Referral Codes or Promotions: If you use a referral link or promotional code, we may associate your use with the source of the referral or campaign.

You may also choose to submit optional content (e.g., testimonials, public reviews, profile photos for marketing, etc.)—we will always ask for your explicit permission before publishing anything public-facing.

b. Information Collected Automatically

When you use the Platform, we automatically collect certain information about your device and usage, including:

• Device Data: Device type, operating system, browser type, mobile ID (if applicable), screen size, and version.
• Log Information: IP address, access times, pages viewed, referring URL, and session duration.
• Usage Data: Actions you take in the app (e.g., review submissions, profile views, reviewer interactions), navigation paths, and click activity.
• Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies and local storage to recognize your device, keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and collect analytics (see Section 3 for more).

c. Information We Receive from Third Parties

We may receive additional information about you from third-party sources, including:

• Payment Providers: Stripe provides us with limited information to facilitate payouts and fraud prevention.
• Social Login Services: If you sign in using Google, Apple, or another platform, we may receive your name, email address, profile photo, or other public data.
• Advertising & Analytics Tools: Platforms like Google, Meta, TikTok, and others may provide information related to ad performance, user attribution, or interest categories based on your interactions with our ads or social content.

We may combine this information with other data we collect to improve personalization, performance, and your overall experience.

We and our third-party partners use cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies to better understand how you interact with the Platform, personalize your experience, and improve our services.

a. Types of Tracking We Use

When you use the Platform, we may automatically collect certain information through:

• Cookies: Small data files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences, maintain session info, and keep you logged in.
• Local Storage: Used to store limited data on your device (e.g., review submission drafts or app preferences).
• Web Beacons / Pixels: Tiny images or scripts embedded in emails or webpages to track engagement (e.g., whether a notification email was opened).
• Device Fingerprinting & Session Tracking: For fraud prevention, analytics, and session continuity.

b. Analytics and Advertising Tools

We use third-party analytics tools, including:

• Mixpanel: To analyze how users interact with features, optimize onboarding flows, and measure user engagement.
• Google Analytics: To understand user demographics, traffic sources, and behavior patterns across the app and website.

These tools may collect information such as your device type, operating system, time spent on the app, feature usage, referral source, and interactions with specific screens or components.

We may also use retargeting pixels or advertising cookies (e.g., from Google, Meta, or TikTok) to serve relevant ads based on your interactions with the Platform. You may see ads for Review My Hinge on third-party websites or apps as a result.

c. Your Choices

You can control or limit cookies and tracking in the following ways:

• Most browsers and mobile devices allow you to manage cookie settings.
• You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing Google's opt-out browser add-on.
• You can manage ad preferences via platforms like the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative.

Note: If you disable cookies or tracking, some features of the Platform may not function properly.

d. "Do Not Track" Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. At this time, we do not respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry-wide standard for compliance.

We use the information we collect to operate, improve, and personalize your experience on the Platform, as well as to fulfill legal and business obligations. Specifically, we may use your information for the following purposes:

a. To Provide and Operate the Platform

• Create and manage your account;
• Process profile submissions and deliver Reviews;
• Facilitate payments and reviewer payouts via Stripe;

• Allow communication between Users and Reviewers (e.g., ratings, feedback, follow-ups).

b. To Personalize Your Experience

• Match you with relevant Reviewers based on your preferences;
• Tailor reviewer suggestions, packages, or upsells;
• Remember your settings and preferences across sessions.

• Notify you about feature updates, policy changes, or security alerts;
• Send marketing or promotional messages (only if you've opted in—you can unsubscribe at any time).

d. To Analyze, Optimize, and Develop the Platform

• Improve app performance, design, and navigation;
• Test new features or workflows and analyze adoption;
• Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, or platform misuse.

e. To Comply with Legal Obligations

f. For Other Legitimate Business Purposes

We may combine information collected through different methods (e.g., user-submitted data + analytics + third-party sources) to improve personalization, platform integrity, and feature development.

We take your privacy seriously and limit the sharing of your personal information to what's necessary for the Platform to function, grow, and protect our users. We do not sell your personal information for monetary gain. Here's how and with whom we may share your data:

a. With Reviewers

If you're a User submitting your dating profile, we share your Submission (photos, prompts, bios, answers, etc.) only with the Reviewer you've selected for the purpose of fulfilling your review request.

Reviewers are contractually obligated to use your content solely for the review process and may not repurpose or share your profile elsewhere unless you've granted explicit permission (e.g., for public testimonials or content collaborations).

b. With Users

If you're a Reviewer, we may share portions of your profile (photo, name, specialties, bio, pricing, and public ratings) with Users browsing the marketplace. Users who purchase your Review Package will also receive any content you submit as part of the review.

We may display your publicly marked Reviews in the app if both you and the User have opted into sharing.

c. With Service Providers and Infrastructure Partners

We work with trusted third parties to help us operate, secure, and improve the Platform. These include:

• Payment processors (Stripe) for transactions and payouts;
• Analytics providers (Mixpanel, Google Analytics) for behavioral insights and performance tracking;
• Cloud storage and hosting partners (e.g., Supabase) for storing media, account data, and reviews;
• Email/text messaging providers (e.g., Twilio) for delivering communications;
• Customer support and moderation tools (if implemented).

These partners are only given access to the data they need to perform their services and are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.

d. With Advertising & Attribution Partners

We may share anonymized or aggregated data with platforms like Google, Meta, or TikTok to measure ad effectiveness, run retargeting campaigns, or track conversions. We do not give these partners access to personal profile submissions or Reviews.

e. For Legal Compliance or Security

We may disclose your information if required by law or if we believe, in good faith, that it's necessary to:

• Respond to a legal process or government request;
• Enforce our Terms of Service or other agreements;
• Detect or prevent fraud, abuse, or technical issues;
• Protect the safety or rights of our users, team, or the public.

f. In a Business Transfer

If Review My Hinge is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or other corporate restructuring, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We'll notify you (e.g., via email or app alert) if your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

g. With Your Consent

We may share your information in other ways if you give us explicit permission—for example:

• Featuring your profile or review in marketing;
• Partnering with dating coaches for personalized follow-ups;
• Participating in optional case studies, surveys, or media.

The Review My Hinge Platform is intended for users 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under 18. If you are under 18, please do not use the Platform, submit a dating profile, register an account, or provide any personal information to us.

If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from someone under the age of 18, we will take prompt steps to delete that information and deactivate the associated account.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us at [email protected].

We believe in putting you in control of your data. Depending on your location and how you use the Platform, you may have certain rights and choices related to your personal information.

a. Communication Preferences

• Marketing Emails: You can unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email. Note: You may still receive essential service-related emails (e.g., confirmations, security notices, review deliveries).
• Text Messages: If you've opted in to receive text notifications, you can reply with STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT to opt out at any time. Message and data rates may apply.
• In-App Notifications: You can manage these in your device or app settings.

b. Cookies and Tracking Preferences

You can adjust your cookie preferences through:

• Your browser settings (e.g., disabling or deleting cookies);
• Cookie banners or preference centers (if presented in-app or via web);
• Opt-out tools for third-party tracking like the DAA or Google Analytics Opt-out.

c. Public Profile and Review Visibility

• You can control whether your completed Reviews (as a User) or profile (as a Reviewer) are visible to others by adjusting your privacy preferences in the app.
• Public sharing of content will only occur with your explicit permission.

d. Access, Correction, and Deletion

You may request to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you;
• Correct inaccurate or outdated information;
• Delete your account and associated data.

To make a request, email us at [email protected] or use the app's account settings to initiate a deletion request.

We will verify your identity before processing such requests. If we are unable to verify your identity or if an exception applies (e.g., we are legally required to retain certain records), we will let you know.

e. Non-Discrimination

We will never deny you access to the Platform, charge different prices, or provide a different level of service based solely on your decision to exercise your privacy rights.

a. How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to:

• Provide and operate the Platform;
• Comply with legal, accounting, or regulatory obligations;
• Resolve disputes or enforce our agreements;
• Improve or audit our services (in anonymized or aggregated form, where possible).

Here's how that typically breaks down:

• Account Information: Retained until you delete your account or request removal.
• Review Content: Stored indefinitely unless the User or Reviewer requests deletion.
• Payment & Transactional Data: Retained as required by financial regulations and tax law (typically 7 years in the U.S.).
• Logs and Analytics: Retained temporarily, then anonymized and aggregated for product improvement.

We may retain certain data in backups or audit logs beyond account deletion where permitted or required by law.

b. Accessing, Updating, or Deleting Your Data

You may access, edit, or delete your personal data by:

• Logging into your account and updating your profile or privacy settings;
• Requesting account deletion or data access by contacting [email protected].

We will respond to verified requests within a reasonable timeframe (usually within 30 days). If you delete your account, we will remove your data from active systems but may retain a secure archival copy for legitimate business or legal reasons as described above.

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement commercially reasonable safeguards to protect it from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or destruction.

a. How We Protect Your Data

• We use SSL/TLS encryption to secure all data transmitted to and from our Platform.
• Profile media (photos, videos, reviews) are stored using secure cloud storage (via Supabase) with row-level access controls.
• Passwords are hashed and salted using industry best practices—never stored in plain text.
• Stripe handles all payment data via PCI-DSS-compliant systems; we never store full credit card numbers or CVVs.
• Reviewer earnings and payouts are handled through Stripe Connect, which manages KYC and identity verification securely.

b. Internal Controls

• Access to user data is restricted to authorized team members who require it to operate or support the Platform.
• We routinely audit data access, usage, and logs to detect and prevent suspicious behavior or abuse.
• We use Mixpanel and Google Analytics for behavioral tracking, but we anonymize or pseudonymize data wherever possible.

c. No System is 100% Secure

While we make every effort to protect your data, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and devices.

If you believe your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
