SugarMatch Privacy Policy

Introduction and Scope

SugarMatch ("we", "our", "us") operates a private, members-style premium sugar dating site at ccpytransit.com. This Privacy Policy applies to every visitor, applicant, and verified member who interacts with our website, mobile-optimised pages, encrypted in-app messaging, and any related services we offer in the United States.

We have built SugarMatch around a single operating principle: discretion is the default. Our Privacy Shield is enabled the moment you register, your profile is never indexed by public search engines, and we do not sell member data to advertisers, data brokers, or third-party dating networks. By creating an account or browsing the site, you confirm you are at least 18 years old and you accept the practices described below.

What Data We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to run a safe, verified, premium dating community. Member data falls into four clearly defined categories:

Account information

Email address, chosen display name, encrypted password, date of birth, country and city. Required to create and access your membership.

Verification data

Government-issued ID image and a real-time selfie liveness scan. Used solely to confirm you are a real adult human. ID images are stored in encrypted form and deleted from active systems after a successful verification check, retaining only a hashed verification token.

Profile and lifestyle information

Photos, biography, interests, lifestyle expectations, and the matching preferences you provide voluntarily. You control which fields are visible to other members.

Technical and usage data

Device type, browser, approximate IP-based location, login timestamps, and aggregated interaction patterns (matches viewed, messages sent). Used for security, fraud prevention, and product improvement.

We do not collect financial or banking details for arrangements between members. SugarMatch never processes payments between members, and any private financial communication remains entirely outside our platform.

How We Use Your Data

Member data is processed for a small number of clearly defined purposes:

• Operating your account - authentication, profile display, encrypted in-app messaging, and Safety Check-In features.
• Quality and verification - confirming identity, screening duplicate accounts, and removing fake or automated profiles within hours of detection.
• Curated matching - surfacing three to five high-fit introductions per week based on the city, lifestyle, and intent fields you have provided.
• Trust and safety - investigating reports, enforcing our terms of service, and protecting members from harassment, scams, or impersonation.
• Service communication - transactional emails such as login alerts, verification confirmations, and policy updates. You may opt out of optional marketing emails at any time.
• Legal compliance - responding to lawful requests from US authorities and meeting our obligations under applicable consumer-protection statutes.

We do not use member data to train third-party advertising profiles, and we never share profile content with social media platforms.

Cookies and Tracking

SugarMatch uses a minimal set of essential cookies to keep you logged in, remember your interface preferences (such as dark mode), and protect the site against fraud. We also use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregated usage - never individual browsing history. For a full list of cookies, retention periods, and the steps to manage them in your browser, please see our Cookie Policy.

Third-Party Services

To deliver a secure platform we work with a small number of vetted vendors, each bound by data-processing agreements that mirror the standards in this policy. These partners include:

• An identity-verification provider that performs the live selfie and ID match at registration.
• A cloud infrastructure provider that hosts our encrypted databases in US data centres.
• A transactional email provider used solely for account, verification, and security notifications.
• A privacy-respecting analytics provider that processes aggregated traffic data only.

None of these partners receive your photos, messages, or matching activity. We never sell, rent, or trade member data, and we will not transfer your data to advertising networks under any circumstances.

Your Rights as a Member

As a SugarMatch member, you hold meaningful, exercisable rights over your personal information:

• Access - request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction - update or correct any inaccurate information directly in your account or by contacting us.
• Deletion - close your account and request permanent erasure of associated data, subject to limited legal retention obligations.
• Restriction - pause processing of your data while a request or complaint is being reviewed.
• Portability - receive a structured copy of your profile data in a common machine-readable format.
• Objection - opt out of optional communications or specific processing activities at any time.
• Withdraw consent - revoke any consent you have previously given, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

Requests are normally handled within 30 calendar days. You may also lodge a complaint with the consumer-protection authority in your state if you believe we have not honoured your rights appropriately.
