Terms & Conditions

1. Eligibility:
   You must be at least 18 years old to use this app. By registering, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. We reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate this policy.
2. Account Responsibility:
   You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities under your account. Sharing your account is prohibited.
3. Location and Privacy:
   We collect your approximate location (within half a mile) to help match users. This data is encrypted and is never shared in exact form with other users or third parties.
4. Use of Personal Data:
   We do not sell or rent your personal data. It is only used to provide core functionality of the app, optimize our features, and enhance user experience. Data may be used in anonymized, aggregate form for analysis.
5. User Content and Conduct:
   You are solely responsible for the content you upload. Do not post illegal, abusive, explicit, or copyrighted material. We reserve the right to remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.
6. 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.
7. Monetization and Boosts:
   At this time, all revenue from paid features (such as profile boosts) is retained by the platform. If this changes, users will be clearly informed during any transaction.
8. Account Deletion and Data Retention:
   When an account is deleted, it is removed from the app immediately. However, chat data may be retained for 30 days strictly for moderation and safety review. This helps ensure the platform remains safe and respectful.
9. Bans and Moderation:
   Shadowbans are not used. If a user is banned or IP-banned, their account remains in our system for moderation and evidence logging. Warnings may be issued for violations, and reverification may be requested if needed for user safety.
10. Security Disclaimer:
    While we implement standard security measures, no online service is entirely secure. In the event of a breach, we will notify affected users as legally required. We are not liable for losses except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
11. Content Sharing Warning:
    Please only upload content (including images and personal details) that you are comfortable with being visible to others online. Although we take security seriously, we cannot guarantee complete protection against breaches.
12. Termination of Service:
    We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for any violation of these terms or for any reason deemed appropriate to protect the integrity of our platform.
13. Modifications:
    We may revise these Terms and Conditions at any time. Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of any updates.
14. Offline and In-Person Interactions:
    Saddle is not responsible for any offline or in-person interactions between users. You are solely responsible for your conduct and safety in all interactions, both online and offline. If you experience inappropriate behavior, you may report other users at any time by visiting their profile.
