Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 10, 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you use Covalents, we collect:

• Account information — name, email address, date of birth, and profile photos you provide
• Location data — your approximate location to show you nearby users and hobbies
• Usage data — hobbies you join, interactions (likes, passes), and messages you send
• Device information — browser type, operating system, and IP address

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide the Service — matching you with users who share your hobbies
• Show you relevant content based on your location and interests
• Communicate with you about your account and service updates
• Improve and maintain the Service

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

• Other users — your profile name, photos, hobbies, and approximate location are visible to other users
• Service providers — third parties that help us operate the Service (hosting, authentication, messaging)
• Legal requirements — if required by law or to protect the safety of our users

4. Data Retention

We retain your data as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, we remove your profile and personal data within 30 days. Some data may be retained longer where required by law.

5. Your Rights

You may:

• Access and update your personal information through the app
• Delete your account and associated data at any time
• Request a copy of your data by contacting us

6. Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure authentication tokens, and access controls. No system is perfectly secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

Covalents is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via the app or email.
