Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Couples Corner ('we', 'our', or 'us'). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website https://www.couples-corner.com (the 'Service'). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access the Service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect various types of information to provide and improve our Service to you:

Personal Data

When you create an account and use our Service, we may collect personally identifiable information, such as:

Authentication Data: We use Clerk for authentication, which handles your user ID and manages your session. While we do not store your passwords directly, Clerk provides us with a unique identifier for your account.
Couple Information: During the onboarding process, we collect your first name, your partner's first name, and your relationship start date. We then generate a couple name (e.g., '[Your Name] & [Partner's Name]') which is stored.
Usage Data: We track your progress within the app, including the total moments you have completed and which moments you have access to. This helps us personalize your experience and track your engagement.

Payment Information

We use Stripe for all payment processing. We do not directly collect or store your credit card details or other sensitive payment information on our servers. All payment transactions are securely processed by Stripe, and their privacy policy governs the collection and use of your payment data.

Non-Personal Data

We may also collect non-personal information such as browser type, operating system, and IP addresses to help us understand how users interact with our Service and to improve its functionality.

To understand and analyze how you use our Service.
To develop new products, services, features, and functionality.
To communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, including for customer service, to provide you with updates and other information relating to the Service, and for marketing and promotional purposes.
To process your transactions and manage your subscriptions.
To find and prevent fraud.

4. How We Share Your Information

With Your Partner: As the Service is designed for couples, certain information (such as your couple name, relationship start date, and completed moments) is accessible by both you and your linked partner.
Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf, including payment processing (Stripe) and authentication (Clerk).

To Protect Our Rights: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

5. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.
