1. Introduction
Welcome to Ganja Mingle. We value your privacy as much as we value your connections. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, store, protect, and share your information when you use our mobile application and website.
By using Ganja Mingle, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
2. Information We Collect
A. Account Information
When you create an account, we collect basic details such as your name, email address, date of birth (for age verification), and gender identity.
B. Geolocation Data
To help you find matches nearby, we collect your precise geolocation when the app is in use. You can revoke this permission at any time in your device settings, though this will limit matching functionality.
C. Usage Data
We collect data on how you interact with the service, including profiles you view, swipe history, matches, and chat interactions.
3. Sensitive Lifestyle Data
Ganja Mingle is a niche community. We allow you to provide information about your cannabis consumption habits (e.g., "Sativa vs. Indica," "Daily vs. Weekly," "Consumption Methods").
Voluntary Disclosure: Providing this information is entirely voluntary. However, by adding these tags to your profile, you explicitly consent to us processing this sensitive data to suggest compatible matches.
Visibility: This data is visible to other registered users on the platform unless you utilize specific privacy features (like Incognito Mode).
4. How We Use Your Data
- To Provide the Service: Creating your profile and displaying it to other users.
- Matching Algorithm: Using your location, interests, and lifestyle habits to recommend compatible partners.
- Safety & Moderation: detecting and banning bots, scammers, and users who violate our "No Sales" policy.
- Communications: Sending you notifications about new matches or messages.
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
We specifically segregate "Identity Data" (Real Name, Email) from "Profile Data" (Public Profile) in our database architecture to enhance privacy.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location (GDPR/CCPA), you have the right to:
- Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Rectification: Correct inaccurate data.
- Deletion: Request that we permanently delete your account and data ("Right to be Forgotten"). You can do this directly within the App Settings.
8. Age Restriction (Strictly 21+)
Ganja Mingle is strictly for users aged 21 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 21. If we discover a user is under 21, we will immediately delete their account and all associated data.
