This page is maintained by The Coastal Girls Collective to explain how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use the app and community.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, profile photo, birthday, neighborhood, and interests. We also collect messages, event RSVPs, group memberships, and other community activity you create or engage with in the app.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to operate the community, match you with relevant groups and events, send you updates about activity you care about, keep the app secure, and respond to your support requests.
3. Sharing Your Information
Your profile and community activity are visible to other members of the app based on your settings and the groups you join. We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with service providers who help us run the app, subject to confidentiality obligations.
4. Your Choices
You can update your profile, change your interests, leave groups, and delete your account at any time. Account deletion will remove your profile data and community content from active systems, though some records may be retained for legal or security purposes.
5. Data Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including authentication, access controls, and encryption in transit. No system is completely secure, so we encourage you to use a strong password and keep your login information private.
6. Cookies and Analytics
The app may use basic cookies and analytics to understand usage and improve the experience. You can manage cookie preferences through your device or browser settings.
7. Children's Privacy
The Coastal Girls Collective is intended for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the app or by email.
