Eligibility: You must be at least 18 years old to use this app. Accounts belonging to users under 18 will be removed immediately.
Information We Collect: We collect information you provide such as your name, email address, phone number, profile content, photos, approximate location, device information, IP address, and usage data. Phone numbers and email addresses are required for account registration and are used for account verification, security purposes, and communication. For paid services, we also collect payment information including billing details, transaction IDs, and payment method data. Sensitive data like your name, email, phone number, and password are stored in hashed or encrypted form to enhance security and protect your privacy in the event of a breach. This information is used only to provide the services of the Saddle app.
Location Data: Your location is stored as an approximate value within half a mile of your real position. This data is encrypted and is never shown to other users in exact form.
Use of Information: We use your information to operate and improve Saddle, including support for advertisements and monetization features such as boosting profiles, processing payments, preventing fraud, and providing customer support. We do not sell your data. Aggregate, anonymous data may be used to improve features and design. Usage patterns may be analyzed to detect suspicious activity or policy violations.
Payment Data: When you make purchases, we collect and store transaction details, payment method information, and billing addresses. Payment processing is handled by third-party providers who have their own privacy policies. We retain payment records for accounting, tax compliance, and dispute resolution purposes.
Monetization: All revenue from paid features (such as profile boosts, premium subscriptions) is retained by the platform. Revenue may be shared with partners or affiliates in the future, and users will be clearly informed during any transaction if revenue-sharing arrangements apply.
Account Deletion: When an account is deleted, it is removed from public view immediately. However, chat data may be retained for up to 30 days strictly for moderation and abuse prevention. Payment records and transaction data may be retained longer as required by law, tax regulations, and for dispute resolution.
Usage Monitoring: We monitor usage patterns to detect policy violations, spam, abuse, fraud, and other harmful activities. This may include analyzing messages, profile content, behavioral patterns, and payment activities.
Bans and Moderation: Shadowbans do not exist. If an account is banned or IP-banned, the account and related data may remain accessible to moderators for abuse prevention. Reverification may be required for accounts deemed suspicious; this is not a punishment, but a security safeguard.
Data Security: We use commercially reasonable measures to secure your data, including encryption and strict access controls. However, no digital system can be guaranteed 100% secure.
Security Breach Disclaimer: In the event of a breach, we will notify affected users in accordance with applicable laws. While we take strong security measures, we recommend that you only upload content you are comfortable being seen online, as no system is completely immune to attack. We are not liable for damages unless caused by gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
Cookies: We use minimal cookies only for authentication and user session management. We do not track your behavior for advertising or analytics purposes.
Children's Privacy: We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor is using our service, please contact us immediately for removal.
Changes to This Policy: This Privacy Policy may be updated over time. You will be notified via the app or email when material changes are made.

Verification and Messaging: Certain features, including messaging, may require account verification. You agree to provide accurate and appropriate content for this process. If an account is flagged as suspicious, we may request reverification. This is not a punishment but a protective measure against abuse or malicious behavior.
Paid Services, Billing, and Refunds: We offer premium features including profile boosts and subscriptions. All payments are processed through secure third-party providers. Charges are non-refundable except where required by law or in cases of technical error on our part. Subscription services will auto-renew unless canceled.
