Privacy

At Summon, we believe in intentional connection — and that includes how we handle your data. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have. We’re committed to transparency and treating your information with care.

1. Who We Are

Summon is a swipeless dating platform focused on meaningful, compatible matches. Unlike traditional dating apps, we only notify you when someone truly aligns with what you’re looking for.

2. What We Collect

When you use Summon (via our website or app), we may collect:

Personal Information You Provide

• Profile Information: Name, email, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, location (city-level), photos.
• Dream Partner Preferences: Gender preference, age range, height, religion, politics, education, income, and more.
• Self-Reflection & Verification Data: How you describe yourself, what you think others say about you, and optionally, traits verified by friends.
• Relationship Intentions: Whether you're seeking long-term, short-term, or other types of relationships.

Automatically Collected Data

• Device type, browser, IP address, and usage behavior (like time spent on onboarding steps).
• Analytics from tools like Vercel, Google Analytics, or other third-party services to help us understand how Summon is being used.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to:

• Match you with compatible people based on your preferences and reflections.
• Send you onboarding updates and match notifications.
• Improve the app experience, optimize our algorithms, and monitor platform performance.
• Prevent misuse and ensure user safety.

4. Who We Share It With

We never sell your data.

We may share data with:

• Service Providers: Hosting, analytics, and infrastructure tools (e.g., Vercel, email platforms).
• Compliance & Legal Authorities: If required by law or necessary to protect Summon and its users.

All third parties are required to handle your data securely and lawfully.

5. Your Rights & Choices

You can:

• Access or update your profile information at any time.
• Request deletion of your data by contacting us.
• Withdraw consent for marketing or data processing.
• Control tracking via your browser settings (e.g., disabling cookies).

6. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as needed to:

• Provide our services
• Comply with legal obligations
• Resolve disputes

Inactive accounts may be anonymized or deleted after a defined period.

7. Security

We use industry-standard security practices (like HTTPS encryption and secure authentication protocols). However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

8. Children’s Privacy

Summon is only for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 18.

9. International Users

Your data may be processed in the country where our servers are located. By using Summon, you consent to this.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. If we make significant changes, we’ll notify you via the site or email.
