Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Flè ("we", "us") is a dating app for the Haitian and Caribbean diaspora, operated by Fle Ventures LLC, a New York limited liability company. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. It applies to the Flè iOS app and this website.

2. Information you give us

• Account: your name, email, and a password (we never see or store your plain password — auth is handled by Supabase).
• Profile: birthdate (to verify 18+ and show age), gender and who you want to see, city, photos, headline/bio, prompt answers, values, languages, roots, and preferences (age range, distance) — your profile except birthdate and contact details is shown to other users.
• Content you create: messages (text, photos, voice notes), reactions, likes and Hibiscus notes, prompt likes/comments, date plans.
• Reports & support: reports you file, and messages to support (with app version and device model).
• Waitlist (this website): name, email, gender, city — used only to invite you and plan launch.

3. Information collected automatically

Push token (a device token for notifications, if allowed). Basic technical logs (e.g. request logs) to operate and secure the service. We do NOT use advertising SDKs, third-party analytics trackers, or sell/share personal data for advertising. We do not track precise GPS; your location in Flè is the city you choose to share.

4. How we use information

• To run Flè (show profiles per visibility preferences, create matches, deliver messages, enable features like date planning).
• Translation: when you translate a message, its text is sent to Google Cloud Translation via our server — only the message text.
• Safety: reviewing reports, enforcing rules, preventing abuse; blocking enforced at the database level.
• Notifications you've allowed.
• Support: answering messages.

5. Who we share it with

• Other users: your profile content, your messages to their recipient.
• Service providers (only what they need): Supabase (database, auth, photo storage, hosting — US), Google Cloud Translation, Apple (notifications and in-app purchases), Resend (support-ticket emails).
• Legal: if required by law or to protect user safety.
• Never: we do not sell personal data or share with data brokers/advertisers.

6. How long we keep it

For as long as your account exists. Deleting your account (Settings → Danger zone → Delete account) permanently deletes account, profile, photos, matches, messages, likes, device tokens — immediately and everywhere. Support emails/legal records may be retained where required. Waitlist entries kept until launch invitations complete or you ask us to remove yours.

7. Security

Encrypted in transit (TLS). Access scoped by row-level security (e.g., only participants can read a conversation). No system is perfectly secure — use a strong, unique password.

8. Age

Flè is for adults 18 and older. We collect birthdate to enforce this. Under-18 accounts are removed.

9. Your rights and choices

Access & correction (edit profile in app). Deletion (in Settings, no email, no waiting; or email us). Notifications (Settings + iOS). Depending on where you live (NY, California, EU) you may have additional rights — email us and we'll honor applicable requests.

10. Changes

If we change this policy meaningfully we'll update the date above and notify you in the app before it takes effect.
