1. Information we collect
We collect information you provide when you apply, create a profile, or use Devoted. That may include your name, email address, age or date of birth, photos, city or general location, faith background, church-related preferences, relationship and family goals, and other profile details you choose to share.
We also process your interactions with the app, including selections, messages, group participation, dates or event interests, reports, and the settings you choose. If you enable notifications, we may process a device push token. We may receive basic technical information such as app version, device type, diagnostic events, and sign-in activity.
If you use the optional Open to Meeting feature and allow location access, Devoted may process device location to determine whether other participating members are nearby. We do not intend to display your exact coordinates to other members. You can turn this feature off and change your device's location permissions.
2. How we use information
- Review applications and operate membership accounts.
- Suggest compatible members and deliver curated selections.
- Enable messages, groups, dates, optional nearby introductions, and notifications.
- Prevent fraud, enforce community standards, respond to reports, and improve safety.
- Maintain the app, troubleshoot problems, and communicate about your account.
- Comply with applicable law and respond to lawful requests.
3. What other members can see
Other eligible members may see information and photos you place in your visible profile and the messages or group content you choose to share with them. Private application answers, account contact details, and precise device coordinates are not intended to be shown in member profiles. Your controls may allow you to limit some kinds of visibility.
4. Sharing with service providers
We use service providers to host and secure accounts, store data, deliver app features and notifications, and support operations. They may process information on our behalf only as needed for those services. We may disclose information if required by law, to address safety or abuse, or as part of a lawful business transition. We do not sell members' private conversations or faith information to advertisers.
5. Subscriptions
Purchases made in the iPhone app are handled by Apple. Apple processes payment information under its own terms and privacy practices. We receive subscription status and transaction identifiers needed to provide membership features; we do not receive your full payment card number from Apple.
6. Storage and retention
We keep information while your account is active and as needed to provide the service. When you delete your account, we work to remove your profile and ordinary account data, subject to technical processing time and limited retention where necessary for safety, fraud prevention, disputes, legal obligations, or other legitimate purposes. Information you shared with another person, such as messages they already received, may not always be removable from their possession.
7. Your choices
- Review or update many profile details in the app.
- Turn off optional Open to Meeting and change device location permission.
- Change notification settings in the app or in iOS.
- Block or report members through available safety tools.
- Delete your account using the account settings in Devoted, or contact support for help.
8. Security
We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect information. No online service can promise absolute security. Protect your sign-in credentials and tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.
9. Age and location
Devoted is intended for adults age 18 or older, not children. If we learn that an underage person has provided information, we will take steps to address it. Information may be processed in the United States and locations where our service providers operate.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app changes. The current version will be posted here with an updated effective date. Material changes may also be communicated in the app or by other appropriate means.
