Sharing Your Information

We will not sell, rent, or disclose your personal information to third parties except in limited scenarios:

  1. Service Providers
    Vendors, consultants, and other service partners who need access to certain data to perform tasks on our behalf (e.g., payment processing, analytics, fraud detection). They are bound by contractual obligations to keep this information confidential.

    In connection with mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, financing, or sales of company assets, user data may be transferred as part of that deal, subject to appropriate confidentiality measures.

We may also share aggregated or anonymized information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

Publicly Shared Content

  • Posts and Comments: If you submit content (e.g., posts, comments) on our Services, other users will see the text, your username, and the date/time of submission.
  • Private Messages: Recipients of private messages can view the content and details such as your username and the time sent.
  • Profile Details: Information on your profile (depending on your privacy settings) may be visible to other users.

Please exercise caution when sharing personal details, as we cannot control how other users might use the information you provide.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tools (“Cookies”) to:

  • Remember your preferences and settings
  • Offer personalized content and ads
  • Understand usage patterns to improve the user experience

You can choose to disable or decline Cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may limit certain features of our Services.

Do Not Track (DNT)
We do not respond to DNT signals. Some third-party sites track browsing activities, and your browser settings may allow you to send a DNT signal. However, our Services currently do not alter practices upon receiving such a signal.

Artificial Intelligence for Verification and Moderation

For verification purposes, we may use third-party AI services to match or verify selfie images and other data you provide. These verification images are generally not stored long-term by the AI provider; we maintain control of these images.

To maintain a positive community, some user-generated content (including messages) may be monitored or flagged via AI for potential policy violations. Any flagged content is then reviewed by our team to confirm any breaches of our Terms of Service or other rules.

International Data Transfers

SugarSecret.club operates globally. Depending on your location, your data may be transferred to and processed in a jurisdiction with different privacy laws. By using our Services, you consent to these transfers. We strive to ensure that your data is handled securely and in accordance with this Policy and any applicable legal requirements.

Security Measures

We use physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your data:

  • Encryption: Payment and other sensitive information are encrypted (e.g., via SSL) during transmission.
  • Access Controls: Only authorized personnel can access personal information.
  • Monitoring: We watch for potential security risks or breaches.

However, no method of data transmission or storage is fully secure. We urge you to protect your account details and notify us immediately of any suspicious activity.

Data Retention

We keep your personal data as long as your account is active or as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy. If your account remains inactive for a specified period, or you request account deletion, we will remove your data unless certain laws or legitimate business interests require retention (e.g., legal compliance, dispute resolution, enforcement of agreements).

Your Choices and Rights

  • Promotional Communications: You can opt out of marketing emails by clicking the “unsubscribe” link or adjusting your account settings. We may still send you non-promotional messages regarding your account or important service updates.
  • Access and Updates: You may log in to update or correct your personal details.
  • Deletion: You can request that we delete your data, though certain information may be kept to comply with legal obligations or for legitimate business purposes.
  • Rights Under Specific Laws: Depending on your location, you may have additional rights (e.g., GDPR, CCPA). To exercise these, please contact us as detailed below.

Online Transactions

When you make a purchase or subscription payment, we protect your data through encryption (SSL). We rely on secure third-party payment processors. While we cannot guarantee absolute security, we maintain practices designed to safeguard financial information.

Accounts Payable or Collections

If your account carries a balance due, or if you dispute a payment with your bank or financial institution, we may share relevant information (e.g., proof of usage, user identity) with our payment processor or a collection agency for debt recovery or dispute resolution purposes.

Updates to This Policy

We may modify this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes take effect when posted on our website. If the revisions materially affect your rights, we may attempt to notify you by email or through our Services.
