Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Brio ("we", "us", "our") operates the Brio iOS application and the joinbrio.io website (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your personal information when you use the Service.

2. Information We Collect

When you join the waitlist or create an account, we may collect:

• Account information (name, email address, date of birth, phone number).
• Profile information (photos, bio, preferences, prompts you choose to share).
• Verification data (selfie photos used to confirm you are a real person).
• Usage data (matches, messages, app interactions, device identifiers).
• Approximate location, only if you grant permission, to show nearby people.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To create your account, show your profile, and suggest compatible matches.
• To keep the community safe through verification and moderation.
• To improve the Service and develop new features.
• To send transactional emails about your account and the waitlist.

4. Sharing Your Information

We never sell your personal data. We share limited information with trusted service providers (hosting, analytics, customer support) under strict confidentiality, and with law enforcement when required by law.

5. Your Choices and Rights

You can access, update, or delete your information at any time from within the app, or by emailing us at privacy@joinbrio.io. Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under GDPR, CCPA, or similar laws, including the right to portability and to lodge a complaint.

6. Data Retention & Security

We keep your data only as long as needed to operate the Service or as required by law. We protect it with encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and routine security reviews. No system is perfectly secure, but we work hard to protect you.

7. Children

Brio is for adults 18+. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of meaningful changes through the app or by email.
