A legal disclaimer

Amethyst Technologies, LLC (‘Matcha & Mocha,’ ‘Company,’ ) is committed to protecting your privacy.

Welcome to Matcha and Mocha. Your privacy—and the privacy of your coffee confidant—is a top priority for us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices available to you when using our website and mobile app (together, “our Services”). By using our Services, you agree to the practices described here.

Privacy Policy - the basics 

Information We Collect
When you create an account with us, you provide certain account data, such as your phone number, email address, and date of birth, so we can set up your profile and verify your eligibility to use the service. As you complete your profile, you may also provide profile data, including your gender, interests, preferences, approximate location, and other details about yourself. Some of this information may be considered sensitive in certain countries—such as details about sexual orientation, sexual life, health, or political beliefs. By choosing to share this type of information, you consent to our processing it as described in this Privacy Policy.
When you interact with others through our app, you also generate content data, which can include photos, videos, audio, text, and chat messages you exchange with other members. If you make purchases within the app, we collect purchase data, including transaction details such as what was purchased, the date, and the amount. If you pay directly through us (rather than through the iOS or Android app stores), you may also provide financial information such as a debit or credit card number.
We sometimes conduct surveys, focus groups, or promotions for research and marketing purposes. If you choose to participate, you provide marketing, survey, and research data, including your responses, feedback, and entry information for contests or events. You may also share third-party data with us—for example, if you provide another person’s contact details to use a particular feature or submit a query about another member. Similarly, when you contact our customer support team, we receive customer support data needed to investigate and resolve your request. Other members may also submit queries or reports that involve you. For safety reasons, we may also receive information from other Match Group services or from third parties about suspected or confirmed bad actors to help keep our community secure.
If you link or log in to your account through social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, or Apple, we collect social media data that you authorize us to access—for instance, your name, profile photo, or playlists.
In addition to what you directly provide, we automatically collect usage data about how you use the service, such as your log-in times, features you use, actions taken, content displayed, ads you interacted with, and how you communicate with others. We also collect technical data about the devices you use, including IP address, device identifiers, operating system, app settings, crash reports, advertising IDs, and cookie-related identifiers. For more details on how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.
Some types of data are collected only with your explicit permission. For example, if you consent, we may collect geolocation data from your device to provide location-based features. You may also choose to participate in verification features that involve face geometry data (which may be considered biometric data in some jurisdictions), or provide ID data such as a copy of your government-issued identification to confirm your identity.
Together, this information helps us operate the app, create meaningful matches, improve safety, personalize your experience, and provide the best service possible.

How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to deliver our Services and enhance your experience. This includes enabling features such as matching based on coffee preferences, personalizing your profile, recommending potential connections, and improving app performance. We also use your information to conduct analytics, provide customer support, communicate updates, and send marketing or promotional content, which you may opt out of at any time.

Sharing Your Information
We may share your information with trusted partners who help us operate our Services, such as hosting providers, analytics platforms, payment processors, and marketing vendors. If you make purchases, your payment information will be processed securely by third parties. We may also share your information with law enforcement or other authorities when required to comply with legal obligations or to protect the safety of our users. In the event of a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred to the new entity.
 
Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active, or as necessary to fulfill legitimate business and legal purposes such as fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or compliance with applicable law. Accounts that remain inactive for more than two years may be closed, and associated data deleted after a short retention period. You may also request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us directly.
 
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information. You may also object to or restrict certain processing activities, and withdraw consent for marketing or location-based services. To exercise these rights, please contact us at [Insert Contact Email].
Security
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption, secure servers, and restricted access. However, no system can be guaranteed completely secure, and you should exercise caution when sharing personal information online.

Children’s Privacy
Our Services are intended only for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we become aware that information has been collected from a person under 18, we will delete it promptly.

Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices. When we make significant updates, we will notify you through email, in-app alerts, or other appropriate channels. Continued use of our Services after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
