Privacy Policy for Soul Match

Effective Date: March 3, 2026
Last Updated: March 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Soul Match ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile application ("App"). Soul Match is a numerology and compatibility app designed to provide insights based on user-provided data. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide numerology calculations, compatibility insights, and personalized experiences. We do not collect more data than necessary for these purposes.

a. Information You Provide

• Personal Data for Calculations: When you input details such as your name, birthdate, or partner's information for numerology or compatibility analysis, we temporarily process this data to generate results. This data is not stored permanently unless you choose to save it locally on your device.
• User Preferences: Settings related to app features (e.g., language, theme) are stored locally via SharedPreferences.

b. Automatically Collected Information

• Device Information: We may collect non-personal information about your device, such as device type, operating system version, app version, and unique device identifiers (e.g., for crash reporting and analytics).
• Usage Data: We use analytics tools to track app usage, such as features accessed, session duration, and crash reports, to improve the App. This is done anonymously where possible.
• Ad-Related Data: Our App integrates Google AdMob for displaying ads. AdMob may collect data such as your device's advertising ID, IP address, location (if enabled), and ad interaction data to serve relevant ads. This data is handled by Google in accordance with their privacy policy (available at policies.google.com/privacy).

We do not collect sensitive personal information (e.g., financial data, health records) beyond what's necessary for numerology calculations.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely for the following purposes:

• To perform numerology and compatibility calculations based on your inputs.
• To provide personalized insights and daily content (e.g., affirmations, insights derived from life-path numbers).
• To display relevant advertisements and manage ad frequency.
• To improve the App's functionality, fix bugs, and enhance user experience through analytics.
• To comply with legal obligations or respond to user inquiries.

We do not use your data for marketing purposes or sell it to third parties.

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Information is shared only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share anonymized or aggregated data with third-party services for analytics (e.g., Firebase Crashlytics) or ad serving (e.g., Google AdMob). These providers are bound by their own privacy policies and data processing agreements.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or in response to a legal request (e.g., court order).
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of the transaction.

4. Data Storage and Security

• Local Storage: All user data (e.g., saved calculations, settings) is stored locally on your device using secure methods like Hive (a local database) and SharedPreferences. We do not transmit or store this data on our servers.
• Security Measures: We implement industry-standard security practices, including encryption for data in transit and at rest. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
• Data Retention: Personal data is retained only as long as necessary for the App's functionality. You can delete saved data at any time via the App's settings. Analytics data is retained for up to 26 months as per Google's policies.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

• Access and Correction: Request access to or correction of your data.
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data (subject to legal limitations).
• Opt-Out: Disable analytics or ads via device settings (e.g., limit ad tracking in Android settings). For AdMob, refer to Google's opt-out options.
• Data Portability: Request a copy of your data in a portable format.

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@soulmatchapp.com. For CCPA requests, include "CCPA Request" in the subject line.

6. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware of such collection, we will delete it immediately. Parents or guardians may contact us to request deletion.

7. International Data Transfers

If you are outside the United States, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries with different data protection laws. We ensure appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, for such transfers.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

The App may contain links to third-party websites or services (e.g., for sharing insights). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review their policies before providing any information.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy periodically. Changes will be posted here with an updated "Effective Date." Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance.
