Welcome to CheriConnect ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling
your personal data in an open and transparent manner. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use,
process, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services (collectively, the

such as your first name, last name, email address, gender, the gender you are seeking, city, and

provide additional information for your public profile. This can include photos, personal interests,
physical characteristics, relationship preferences, and other descriptive details.

access our Services, including hardware and software information such as IP address, device ID and
type, browser type, version and language, operating system, and identifiers associated with cookies
or other technologies that may uniquely identify your device or browser.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies
to recognize you and/or your device(s). This helps us operate our website, remember your preferences
(like cookie acceptance), secure your account, and analyze site traffic and trends.
C. Information from Third Parties
- Social Media Login: If you choose to register or log in using a third-party account
like Google or Apple, we receive information from that service. This typically includes your public
profile information, such as your name and email address. The information we receive is dependent
upon your privacy settings with the social media provider.
2. How We Use Your Information
Our primary goal is to help you make meaningful connections. To do that, we use your information to:
- Create and manage your account and provide you with our Services.
- Display your profile to other users and recommend matches to you.
- Facilitate communication between users.
- Respond to your requests and provide customer support.
- Analyze usage and trends to improve our Services and develop new features.
- Prevent, detect, and fight fraud or other illegal or unauthorized activities.
- Ensure legal compliance and enforce our Terms of Service.
- Communicate with you about products, services, promotions, and events we think may be of interest to
you (you may opt-out of marketing communications at any time).
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not share your personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of
CheriConnect except in the following cases:
- With Other Users: You share information with other users when you voluntarily
disclose information on the service (including your public profile). Please be careful with your
information and make sure that the content you share is something you're comfortable being publicly
viewable.
- With Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party companies and individuals to
perform services on our behalf, such as data hosting, analytics, marketing, and customer support.
These providers will only have access to the information necessary to perform these tasks and are
obligated to protect and secure your information.
- For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if reasonably necessary: (i) to
comply with a legal process, such as a court order, subpoena or search warrant, government / law
enforcement investigation or other legal requirements; (ii) to assist in the prevention or detection
of crime; or (iii) to protect the safety of any person.
- Business Transfers: We may share your information in connection with a substantial
corporate transaction, such as the sale of our business, a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or
asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.

directly through your account settings within the Services.

personal information. We use a variety of security measures, including encryption and authentication
tools, to help protect your information.
We retain your personal information only for as long as we need it for legitimate business purposes and
as permitted by applicable law. When you delete your account, we take steps to ensure it is no longer
visible on the Services. We may retain certain data for analytical purposes, record-keeping, fraud
prevention, and to enforce our terms.
