1. Information We Collect

To provide our music-based matching experience, we collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: When you connect your music streaming accounts, we access limited data necessary for matching, such as:
  • Music streaming service listening history and preferences
  • Profile information (e.g., username, profile picture)
• Usage Data: Information about your interactions with Solmate, such as matches, preferences, and app activity.
• Device and Log Data: We may collect device identifiers, IP addresses, and crash logs to improve our services.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Generate music-based matches and enhance user experience.
• Enable users to connect with each other upon a match.
• Improve, troubleshoot, and optimize Solmate's performance.
• Enforce our Terms of Service and ensure compliance with legal obligations.

Initially, Solmate will facilitate connections via Instagram. In-app messaging will be available in a future update.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties, except:

• With Your Consent: When you explicitly authorize data sharing.
• With Service Providers: We may engage trusted third-party providers to support our operations (e.g., cloud hosting), who must adhere to strict confidentiality requirements.
• To Comply with Legal Obligations: If required by law or to protect Solmate's rights and users' safety.

Your music streaming data is used only for matching purposes and is not disclosed to other users beyond what is already public on your profiles.

4. Third-Party Services

Solmate integrates with music streaming services and social platforms. These services have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their data practices. We recommend reviewing their policies.

If your music streaming service restricts access to your account, some or all Solmate features may be affected.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no online service can guarantee 100% security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your connected accounts.

6. Your Rights & Choices

You have control over your data:

• Access & Deletion: You may request access to or deletion of your data by contacting us at info@solmate.app.
• Revoking Permissions: You can disconnect Solmate's access to your music streaming services at any time via your account settings on those platforms.
• Opt-Out: If you wish to stop using Solmate, you may uninstall the app and request data deletion.

7. Children's Privacy

Solmate is intended for users 18 years and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are made, we will notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date. Continued use of Solmate after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
