Privacy Policy
Introduction
Welcome to BelleAire! This Privacy Policy applies to both our (BelleAire’s) dating app whether accessed through a web browser or through our mobile apps. Please note this policy is in addition to our Terms of Service, which forms a contract between you and BelleAire LLC (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the like), that you agree to by using or accessing our services.
Please take some time to read this policy as it contains important information about how we use your personal data and what we use it for.
So long as in accordance with applicable law, we may modify, amend, or change this policy at any time. Notice of material changes will be posted to our privacy policy page with a new effective date and linked in the mobile app. We may notify you of a change to the policy by email, in-app notification, or other means, but failure to do so does not affect the changes. Your continued access or use of our services amounts to consent to the updated privacy policy.
Who We Are
We are BelleAire LLC, a company based in Seaside, Oregon. We can be reached at support@itsbelleaire.com for any questions or concerns you have with respect to this policy and our Terms of Service.
Target Audience
Our services are intended for people above the age of 18, and per the Terms of Service, you agree that you are 18 or older. People under the age of 18 are not permitted to use our services. If you suspect that a profile is maintained by a person under the age of 18, please report the suspected profile at support@itsbelleaire.com.
Data We Collect & Why We Collect It
To provide our services it is necessary for us to collect some information about you so that we can foster connections with other like-minded people looking for a partner. This section explains the different kinds of information (data) we collect or generate about you and what we use that data for.
Currently we do not sell any of your data and it is used for internal purposes only – mainly to make sure that:
| Category | Like What? | What's It Used For? |
|---|---|---|
| Account Data | Name, phone number, email address, date of birth, username, etc. | This information is used to maintain your account, ensure you are or are above the age of eighteen, and verify your identity if needed. |
| Profile Data | Gender, preferences, interests, approximate location, answers survey questions, etc. | We use your profile information to match you with others who might share similar interests or match your preferences and are located near enough to actually meet up! |
| Sensor & Usage Data | GPS location, compass, in-app interactions, purchase information, etc. | We use sensor data to improve our services as well as determine other profiles that are in your location so we can recommend partners and meet up spots in your area! |
| Images of you | Selfies, profile pictures, etc. | The magic of BelleAire is that people don’t see pictures of one another until right before they decide to meet up. We want you to establish a connection with somebody for reasons other than a great profile photo. But for safety and identity verification reasons, we do require you to submit a recent selfie shortly before meeting up with your match. We also use your selfies to train our app to provide you the best matches possible. |
| Device Information | Device ID, IP address, bug and crash reports, etc. | We may use this information for identity verification if we opt to do so, but primarily we use it to store sessions locally on your devices and track your settings as well as app crashes and other bugs that might need fixing. |
We may also use all of the data provided or generated in order to comply with applicable laws; to support investigations into infringement of intellectual property rights; respond to lawful requests from law enforcement, regulators, or courts; and establish, exercise, and defend legal claims and rights. That may mean that we maintain and preserve data even if you request we delete it.
Third Party Transfers & Data Sharing
We do not sell any of your data to third parties. However, we do need a place to store your data so that our services can work! All of the data we collect or generate about you is stored only electronically using Google’s Firebase and Cloud services. Please refer to firebase.google.com/support/ for more information regarding the privacy and security measures employed by Google.
Cookie Policy
While we do not currently use cookies, we do use tokens to store your session locally on your phone.
Your Rights
We want you to feel comfortable sharing your information with us, but sometimes it helps to know you can exercise certain rights over information about you. So, subject to the exceptions at the bottom of Section 3, we want to make sure you have a few options for making sure that you can exercise some control over your information. Any requests may be made to support@itsbelleaire.com. When submitting a request, please be patient as we will respond to your request as soon as possible, but processing your request may take some time.
Furthermore, we may reject requests, including if we are unable to verify your identity, if the request is unlawful or invalid, or if it infringes on the intellectual property or privacy rights of another person.
Access. At any time, you may request a copy of all information we have collected from and about you.
Rectification/Correction. If you believe some of the data we’ve collected about you is inaccurate, then please let us know. We will do our best to correct any misinformation. Please note, however, that information generated based on observation may not be corrected to your instructions if we determine that it is in fact accurate.
Right to Delete. If at any time you wish for us to delete the information we have collected about you, you need only ask. Unless we have outstanding lawful obligations preventing us from doing so, we will delete any and all information we have about you. Please note, however, that deletion of all of your information will destroy your profile and a new one will need to be set up if you wish to continue using our services.
Consent Withdrawal. At any time, you may withdraw your consent for us to collect data on you. Please note that much of the data we collect on you is used to make our services work. Should you withdraw consent to use your information, our services may not work or functionality may be reduced.
Privacy Policy Changes
This policy may change over time as applicable laws or internal policies change our practices and obligations. We will do our best to notify you of material changes to the policy so that you have time to review the changes, but it is ultimately your responsibility to ensure you are apprised of changes to this policy. Your continued use of our services constitutes consent to policy changes.
