Privacy Policy

We collect the following categories of personal information:

• Account & profile data: name, age, gender, relationship preferences, bio, profile photos, and intro/prompt videos.
• Sign-in data: if you create an account or sign in using Sign in with Apple or Google, we receive the information you authorize that provider to share with us, such as your name and email address (or, if you use Apple's Hide My Email, a private relay address). We never receive your Apple or Google password.
• Event lead data: name, email, phone number, and optional Instagram handle that you provide at an in-person event or on the event reserve page, plus any intro video filmed for you at the event (by you or by event staff).
• Referral & membership data: whether you are a Founding Member or Matchmaker, the staff member or friend who referred you, and the plus-ones you bring to events (used to attribute referral rewards).
• Location data: precise GPS coordinates and general location (city/region), used to show nearby matches and enable distance-based filtering. You may use the Service without granting location access, but some features will be unavailable.
• Communications: messages sent between users on the platform.
• Device & usage data: device type, operating system, browser, IP address, user agent, pages visited, interactions (likes, matches, messages), video views, and session activity.
• Analytics data: page view events collected via Google Analytics (GA4).

The Service may allow access to or make available opportunities for you to view certain content, specific features and to receive other products, services and/or other materials based on your location. To make these opportunities available to you, the Service will determine your location using one or more reference points, such as GPS, Bluetooth and/or software within your mobile device. If you have set your mobile device to disable GPS, Bluetooth or other location-determining software or do not authorize the App to access your location data, you can still use the Services but you will not be able to access certain location-specific content, products, services and materials that can only be shown based on your location.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and operate the Service, including matching users and enabling messaging.
• Create your account and authenticate you when you sign in, including via Sign in with Apple or Google.
• Link an intro video filmed for you at an event to your profile when you finish sign-up, matched using the phone number you gave us.
• Attribute referrals and grant Founding Member and Matchmaker rewards (free premium access and referral-based extensions).
• Screen content for policy violations and review age/identity for safety.
• Send notifications about matches, likes, messages, account activity, and reminders about your saved event video.
• Improve features, analyze usage trends, and comply with legal obligations.

We share data with trusted third-party providers who help us operate the Service, including:

• Image and video moderation providers (such as SightEngine) who screen uploaded media for prohibited content.
• AI content review services used to assess bios and other text content for policy violations.
• Sign-in providers (Apple, Google) when you choose to authenticate with them; what they share with us is controlled by the permissions you grant on their consent screen.
• Email delivery providers used to send transactional and notification emails.
• Analytics providers (Google Analytics / GA4) who collect anonymized usage data. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Payment processors engaged by us to securely handle subscription billing.

We may also share information with authorities or law enforcement where required by law or to report illegal content, including CSAM.

We retain your data in accordance with the following schedule:

• Personal data is anonymized within 30 days of account deletion.
• Content (photos, videos, messages, likes, matches) is purged within 90 days of account deletion.
• Event lead videos not yet linked to a profile are retained as described in Section 7 below.
• Usage and technical data is purged within 12 months of account deletion.
• Account security records (such as password reset request counts, the associated email address, and the IP address the request came from) are kept only long enough to rate-limit abuse and are deleted within 24 hours. Because a reset can be requested for any address typed into the form, these records may briefly include an address that has no account with us.
• Safety and moderation records (reports, flagged content, suspensions, violations) are retained for longer periods as required by law.

Inactive accounts (no login for 90 days) will have their profiles hidden from discovery. You will receive an email notification before this occurs and can reactivate your profile by logging back in.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to:

• Know what personal information is collected about them.
• Delete their personal information.
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information.
• Non-discrimination for exercising these rights.

Information others provide about you: Some records are created by other people. If a friend adds you as a plus-one, or names you as their referrer and provides your phone number or email so we can credit the reward, that contact information is stored on their record, not yours. Deleting your own account or event record does not automatically remove your contact information from records another person created. If you want that information removed as well, contact us at staff@reeldatingtonight.com and we will locate and delete it.

Do Not Sell or Share: We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with analytics providers (Google Analytics) and service providers. To opt out of this sharing, use the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link at the bottom of this site, or contact us at staff@reeldatingtonight.com.

We do not send marketing or automated text messages, and we have no text-messaging capability built into the Service. The phone number you provide is used only to link your event intro video to your profile and to identify your records (see Section 7) — we won't text or call you. If this ever changes, we will update this policy first and ask for your consent before any messages are sent.

If you film an intro video at one of our in-person events (either yourself or with our staff), we save it together with the name, and the phone number and/or email address you provided, so we can link it to your profile when you finish sign-up. Matching is done using the phone number or email address you gave us — you can provide either one. Until you create a profile, the video is kept solely so it can become your intro — no profile or account is created at the event.

Unclaimed videos are kept for a limited period, then deleted. The standard retention period is 120 days from the date the video was filmed. For videos filmed before our public launch, the period is extended so that the video is still available to you once sign-up opens; in no case is a video kept beyond April 5, 2027 unless you have an account with us. If a video remains unclaimed, we send a periodic reminder that your video is saved, followed by a pre-deletion notice before it is removed.

If the email address on your event record matches an account you have already created with us, we retain the video beyond the period above so that it remains available to attach to your profile. In that case it is governed by the retention rules for account data rather than by the event-video schedule. You may delete it at any time from your profile, or by contacting us.

If you have already created a profile, the video replaces your current intro video. You may replace it again at any time.

Where a video filmed for you is uploaded after you have already created your profile — for example where our staff filmed on their own camera and uploaded later — our staff may attach it to your profile on your behalf, matched by the email address on your event record. Where you already have an intro video, doing so replaces it. We email you whenever this happens, and we record that the attachment was made by staff rather than by you. You can change or re-record your intro at any time, or contact us at staff@reeldatingtonight.com if you receive a notice you were not expecting.

New profiles created during our beta/pre-launch period receive free premium access as Founding Members through April 1, 2027. This is a fixed end date that applies to all Founding Members regardless of when they sign up; it is not a per-member duration. If you bring friends to an event as plus-ones (up to three per event), or a friend names you when they sign up, you may be marked as a Matchmaker and receive one (1) additional month of premium access for each referred friend who creates an account and profile (with intro video), up to a lifetime maximum of ten (10) rewarded referrals. A referral counts only once the referred person completes a profile, and each referred person counts once regardless of how they were referred. Self-referrals are not counted.

Phone numbers and email addresses collected at events may be used to attribute referrals and match saved event videos to profiles, even where the email used at the event differs from the one used to create a profile. When someone names you as their referrer, the phone number or email they provide for you is stored on their record so we can credit you correctly; see Section 5 for how to request removal of information others have provided about you.

We may update this Agreement and will notify you of material changes.

For questions, contact staff@reeldatingtonight.com.
