This Privacy Policy describes how BUSTLE ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you use our application ("App" or "Service"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your data remains secure.
1. Information We Collect
To provide a safe and enjoyable experience, we may collect the following types of information:
- Personal Information: When you create an account, we collect your name, age, gender, photos, email address, and location.
- Usage Data: We collect information on how you use the app, such as profile
interactions, matches, messages, and preferences.
If you choose to connect your account with other social media platforms, we may also receive information from those platforms, such as your profile name and email.
- Location Data: We collect your current and historical location information when you use certain features of the app, such as finding nearby users or events. This location data is essential for providing you with a personalized and efficient experience within the app.
We may also request permission to use your location in the background. This allows us to continuously update your location to provide more accurate and timely information. Background location use is optional, and you can revoke this permission at any time through your device settings.
Additionally, we collect and store location data in the form of map blocks rather than detailed coordinates, ensuring that your exact location is not exposed. When you enable location services and open the app, BUSTLE may automatically collect your location data.
If you authorize location permissions, BUSTLE will, by default, record and use your location to enable core app functionalities.
You have full control over your data. You can delete all stored map blocks or disable location services at any time in the app settings. This ensures your privacy and allows you to manage how your information is used within the app.
- Transaction Information: If you make in-app purchases, we collect information about your transactions. For subscription-based in-app purchases, we collect details such as the year the subscription plan you choose, the start date of your subscription, and the payment method used.
For one-time consumable in-app purchases, we collect information about the item purchased and the payment method used
- Device Information: Information about the device you use to access the app, such as your device model, operating system, IP address, and unique identifiers.
- Cookies and Tracking: We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to gather information about your interactions within the app and improve our services.
