Privacy Policy

Welcome to the ConservativeSouls Privacy Policy ("Policy")! This explains how we collect, store, protect, and share your information, and with whom we share it. We suggest you read this in conjunction with our brilliant T&C’s. Whilst you're enjoying the ConservativeSouls mobile application ("App"), we collect some information about you. In addition, you may choose to use the App to share information with other uses, including your friends and contacts ("Users"). We may also need to share your information sometimes.

ConservativeSouls is a global service, and your information will be sent to and used in the United States regardless of the country you reside in. This Policy explains how we protect your personal data when we transfer it overseas, so please read very carefully!

If you have any questions or comments about this Policy, please feel free to contact us at support@conservativesouls.com

  1. Collection of Information

    Registration Information

    When you download the App and create an account ("Account"), we may collect certain information ("Registration Information") about you, such as:

    • Name
    • Username
    • Email address
    • Mobile number
    • Gender identity
    • Date of birth
    • Sexual preference
    • Photographs
    • Location
    • Login information and friend lists for social media accounts that you connect to your ConservativeSouls Account (this could include, for example, your Facebook and Instagram accounts ("Social Media Accounts").

    You will also be required to create a password in connection with the registration of your Account. Once you register, you will be able to review and change this information at any time by accessing your “Edit Profile” page! You control your user profile and are able to correct or update (other than your email address, date of birth, gender) your information at any time by just logging in to ConservativeSouls.

    The information we collect helps to enhance the ConservativeSouls service and verify our Users (Machines are not welcome!!). Registration Information such as your name and username may be visible to the public on your profile page.

    Additional Information

    We may ask you to provide your full name, address and email address. Such details may be shared with third parties for purposes relating to, for example, any of our loyalty programs, sending gifts or delivery of merchandise.

    We may also collect additional information in connection with your use of ConservativeSouls, for example if you use our electronic messaging function.

    If you contact our Customer Support team, we will receive your email address, and may track your IP address as well as the information you send to us to help resolve your query. We will keep records of our communications with you, including any complaints that we receive from you about other Users (and from other Users about you).

    We recommend and encourage you (and all our members) to think carefully about the information you disclose about yourself. We also do not recommend that you put email addresses, URLs, instant messaging details, phone numbers, full names or addresses, credit card details, national identity numbers, drivers' licence details and other sensitive information on your profile which is open to abuse and misuse.

    Please be careful about posting sensitive details about yourself on your profile such as your religious denomination and health details. While you may voluntarily provide this information to us when you create your profile, including your sexual preferences, there is no requirement to do so. Please remember that photographs that you post on ConservativeSouls may reveal information about yourself as well. Where you do upload and choose to tell us sensitive information about yourself, you are explicitly consenting to our processing of your information and making this public to other users.

    When you post information about yourself or use the messaging function, the amount of personal information you share is at your own risk. Please see Section 4 below for more information on who can access what you post on ConservativeSouls. If you post anything that is inconsistent with our Terms and Conditions of Use, we reserve the right to terminate your Account - we really don't want to have to do this so please play by the rules!

    For safety and security and to ensure you have the best possible user experience, we require users to verify their accounts and might ask for your phone number. We want to make sure you are not a robot! And we also want to avoid fake ConservativeSouls accounts being created which can be used for malicious activities and cybercrime – they threaten the ConservativeSouls network and ruin things for everyone.

    To prevent abuse of the app/site, ConservativeSouls uses manual decisions to block accounts as part of its anti-spam procedures. In order to do this, our systems check accounts and messages for content that indicates breaches of our Terms and Conditions of Use. If an account or message meets certain criteria that demonstrate that the Terms and Conditions of Use are likely to have been breached, the relevant account will automatically be blocked. All users of accounts that have been blocked will be notified that their account has been blocked and affected users can contact ConservativeSouls to contest the decision.

    If you decide to purchase any of our premium services, we will process your payment information and retain this securely for the prevention of fraud and for audit/tax purposes.

    Finally, we want to keep in touch with you to make sure you know about the great promotions and offers we have available. If you’ve told us it’s OK, we will use your email address to send you information on these. You can withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us via email.

    Data Storage

    By using the ConservativeSouls service, you acknowledge that ConservativeSouls is a global app operating through servers located in a number of countries around the world, including the United States. If you live in a country with data protection laws, the storage of your personal data may not provide you with the same protections as you enjoy in your country of residence.

    Geolocation Information

    Our website uses algorithms to determine your approximate location. While this technology is not 100% accurate or "fool-proof", we use it to provide the best experience possible for you while you are using the website. At no time is this information used to "pinpoint" your location, or for any purpose that could be considered harrassment, opression, or any other legally protected right. It is solely used for the purposes of providing location-based services to our users.

    If you turn these features on, when you use your mobile, we will collect information about WiFi access points as well as other location information about your longitude and latitude and may save your device's coordinates to offer certain features to you. This information helps us identify your physical location and we may use it to personalise the service and make it easier for you to interact with other Users, by enabling the information to be displayed and shared with other members choosing to view “nearby” posts.

    Log & Usage Data

    We keep your personal information only as long as we need it for legitimate business purposes (as set out in Section 11 below) and as permitted by applicable law.

    In practice, we delete or anonymise your information upon deletion of your account (following the safety retention window), unless:

    • we must keep it to comply with applicable law (for instance, some “traffic data” is kept for one year to comply with statutory data retention obligations);
    • we must keep it to evidence our compliance with applicable law (for instance, records of consents to our Terms, Privacy Policy and other similar consents are kept for five years);
    • there is an outstanding issue, claim or dispute requiring us to keep the relevant information until it is resolved
    • the information must be kept for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention and enhancing users' safety and security. For example, information may need to be kept to prevent a user who was banned for unsafe behaviour or security incidents from opening a new account.

    Device Information

    We may collect information about your device when you use the App including the unique device identifier, device model, operating system, and MAC address. In addition, if you permit us to do so, the App may access your device's address book solely in order to add someone to your contacts.

    Links

    We may keep track of how you interact with links available on ConservativeSouls including third party services and clients by redirecting clicks or through other means. We may share aggregate click statistics such as how many times a particular link was clicked on.

    • Service Providers - We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to us. We may share your Registration Information with these third parties, but only for the purposes of performing these functions and providing such services e.g. information technology companies (hardware and software) which provide services to support our products.
    • Moderators – To monitor activity on the apps and approve content.

In such cases we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.
    • Business Transfers -In the event that ConservativeSouls or any of our affiliates undergoes a business transition or change of ownership, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, re-organisation, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, or in the event of insolvency or administration, we may be required to disclose your personal data.
    • Aggregated Information – We may share aggregated information with third parties that includes your personal data (but which doesn’t identify you directly) together with other information including log data for industry analysis and demographic profiling. You may opt-out of receiving marketing messages by using the opt-out mechanisms and links provided in each email.

    We ensure these parties must adhere to strict data protection and confidentiality provisions that are consistent with this Policy. Measures are taken to ensure that the data shared is non-attributable to the greatest extent possible.

  4. What others may see about you

    We think our users are awesome, and we want you to share how awesome you are with the world, so we have built certain features to enable this. Our App is designed to make it easier for you to connect with other Users and to interact with them. May be viewed and shared by users with individuals who may or may not be Users or via third party applications at our discretion. For example, a User may recommend you as a pair to his or her Facebook friends by sharing your picture, regardless of whether such friend(s) is also a User of the App. You might share information like the photos and messages you send or upload and any metadata provided with those messages, along with any comments or information you provide in connection with your photos.

    When using ConservativeSouls, you should assume that anything you post or submit on the App may be publicly-viewable and accessible, both by Users of the App and non-Users of the App. We want our users to be careful about posting information that will eventually be made public.

  5. Modifying your Registration Information

    You may access or modify the Registration Information you provided at any time or permanently delete your Account (we hope you don’t!)

    When your Account is deactivated, we take reasonable efforts to make sure it is no longer viewable on the App. For up to 30 days it is still possible to restore your Account if it was accidentally or wrongfully deactivated. After 30 days, we begin the process of deleting your Account from our systems. We are not responsible for any information, pictures, comments, or other content that is deleted from our systems resulting from the deactivation of your Account.

    To prevent abuse and/or misuse of ConservativeSouls by a User following termination or deletion of a profile/Account we shall retain such information as we deem in our sole discretion may be necessary to ensure that User does not open a new Account and profile in breach of our insert our T&C’s and to ensure compliance with all laws and regulations.

    Warning: Even after you remove information from your profile or delete your Account, copies of that information may still be viewable and/or accessed to the extent such information has been previously shared with others, or copied or stored by other Users or to the extent such information has been shared with search engines. We cannot control this, nor do we accept any liability for this. If you have given third party applications or websites access to your personal information they may retain such information to the extent permitted under their terms of service or privacy policies.

    Removed and deleted information may persist in backup copies for up to 30 days to enable restoration, but will not be available to others in the meantime.

  6. Our policy towards age and realness

    Although we want as many people as possible to enjoy our platform, you have to be at least 18 years old to use the website, mobile app and any other version of the application or services that we make publicly available.

    During the registration process ConservativeSouls may decide to age estimate you based on your facial image, and check that you are a real, live person. This is so that we not only know you are a real person but it also helps protect you and the ConservativeSouls community. To do this we make collect a selfie from you during your account registration and authentication process. We share only your selfie with a reputable, verified third-party verification company of our choosing. We share nothing else with the third-party company, and they will have no way of linking your selfie to any other data about you.

    If you fail the age/realness test, a human may manually assess your photo, and if required one of our team will be in touch with you to ask for government identification. Eg, Driving License, Passport or other form of identification.

    ConservativeSouls does not knowingly collect any information about or market to children, minors or anyone under the age of 18. If you are less than 18 years old, we request that you do not submit information to us. If we become aware that a child, minor or anyone under the age of 18 has registered with us and provided us with personal information, we will take steps to terminate that person's registration and delete their Registration Information from ConservativeSouls. If we do delete a profile because you violated our no children rules, we may retain your email and IP address to ensure that you do not try to get around our rules by creating a new profile.

  7. Changes to the policy

    As ConservativeSouls evolves, we may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version of the policy will govern our use of your information and will always be at http://conservativesouls.com/home/privacy. If we make a change to this policy that, in our sole discretion, is material, we will notify you, for example, via an email to the email associated with your Account or by posting a notice within ConservativeSouls. By continuing to access or use the App after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.

  8. Security

    Here at ConservativeSouls we pride ourselves on taking commercially reasonable security measures to help protect your information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access, or disclosure. We use reasonable security measures to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information such as secured servers using firewalls.

    Unfortunately no website or Internet transmission is ever completely 100% secure and even we cannot guarantee that unauthorised access, hacking, data loss or other breaches will never occur, but here are some handy tips to help keep your data secure:

    1. Please make sure you log out of your Account after use as you never know who may stumble onto your device.
    2. Please don't share your social media password with anyone else.
    3. We recommend you change your social media password periodically.

    If you ever think someone has had access to your social media passwords, please report it to the relevant social media platform and change your password immediately. We cannot guarantee the security of your personal data while it is being transmitted to our site and any transmission is at your own risk.

    WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACHES OF SECURITY, DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, OR ANY LOSS OR UNAUTHORISED USE OF YOUR REGISTRATION INFORMATION OR OTHER DATA.
