This Privacy Policy explains how Syndicate ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our platform. By creating an account or using our services, you agree to the practices described here.
We collect information you provide directly — such as your name, email, display name, profile bio, and linked account handles. If you request access to dating, we collect your date of birth and retain a private age-check record to enforce the adult-only restriction. Your full birth date is not shown to other members; your calculated age is shown if you create a dating profile. We also collect data generated by your use of the platform, including forum posts, chat messages, setup uploads, and login activity. Payment processing is handled by our payment provider (Base44 Payments / Wix); we receive a transaction record but never your full card details.
We use your information to operate and maintain your account, display your profile and activity, process subscriptions and store purchases, send service and notification emails, enforce community guidelines, and improve platform features. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
We share data only with service providers that help us run the platform — payment processing, email delivery, and analytics — under agreements that restrict how they handle your data. We may disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our users and the platform.
We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account at any time, after which we will remove or anonymize your personal data, except where retention is required by law. Public content you posted (forum threads, setups) may remain visible after account deletion in anonymized form.
We use essential cookies to maintain your session and authentication state. We may use analytics tools to understand how the platform is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in.
You have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us through the platform's support channels. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
We take reasonable measures to protect your data using encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security reviews. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The platform is not intended for children under 13. Dating and matchmaking are restricted to members aged 18 and over; members aged 13–17 cannot access these features. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through the platform or by email. Continued use of the platform after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
