Gayquation respects your privacy and uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect the personal information you provide.
This Privacy Policy explains how Gayquation collects, uses, discloses, stores, and protects information when you visit Gayquation.com, use MyGayquation.com, communicate with our team, participate in assessments or matchmaking services, attend events, use Gayquation features, or otherwise interact with us.
Gayquation does not sell personal information for monetary consideration. We may disclose information as described in this Policy when reasonably necessary to provide our services, facilitate matchmaking, operate and secure our platforms, process transactions, communicate with you, perform analytics, work with service providers, comply with law, or protect Gayquation, our members, and others.
We are committed to treating personal information responsibly and using it only for legitimate business, matchmaking, safety, operational, legal, and service-related purposes described in this Policy.
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information Gayquation collects or receives:
When you visit Gayquation.com or MyGayquation.com.
When you create an account, submit an application, complete an assessment, purchase or use services, or participate in Gayquation features or events.
When you communicate with a matchmaker, provide feedback, submit a Momentum Debrief, upload photos, or otherwise interact with our team or platform.
From prospective matches, referrals, service providers, verification or screening providers, publicly available sources, social or professional profiles, and other legitimate sources used in connection with matchmaking, safety, fraud prevention, or service delivery.
Depending on how you interact with Gayquation, we may collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, age or date of birth, city, ZIP or postal code, approximate location, occupation, education, relationship goals, hobbies, interests, photographs, profile information, account credentials, service history, communications, and other information you choose to provide.
Our systems may also automatically receive technical and usage information such as IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, interaction data, cookie identifiers, session information, and similar website or application activity.
Because Gayquation provides relationship and matchmaking services, information you voluntarily provide may include sensitive or highly personal information. Depending on the services you use, this may include sexual orientation, dating and relationship preferences, relationship history, relationship goals, sexual or relationship compatibility preferences, dealbreakers, physical preferences, age preferences, geographic preferences or search radius, assessment responses, feedback about dates or prospective matches, and other information relevant to compatibility.
Gayquation may also create or maintain compatibility-related information, internal matchmaking notes, Gayquotient information, Optima results, Matchmaker Insights, Photo Grades, recommendations, evaluations, and other inferences or observations derived from information you provide and your interactions with our services.
We use sensitive matchmaking information only as reasonably necessary to provide, personalize, evaluate, improve, and secure our matchmaking and related services, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. Where applicable law requires consent or another specific legal basis for processing sensitive information, Gayquation will seek or rely on that basis as required.
Gayquation may use assessment responses, profile information, matchmaking activity, feedback, preferences, communications, and other information to generate compatibility assessments, scores, recommendations, insights, summaries, Photo Grades, Matchmaker Insights, and related inferences designed to assist our matchmaking team and improve your experience.
Certain Gayquation tools may use automated or AI-assisted processing to help organize, summarize, analyze, or surface information. These tools are intended to support Gayquation services and the judgment of our matchmaking team. Human review, professional judgment, and member preferences may also be used in matchmaking decisions and recommendations.
We may use personal information to:
Create and administer accounts, applications, memberships, and services.
Provide matchmaking, compatibility analysis, recommendations, introductions, coaching, events, and member features.
Review applications, conduct intake, evaluate compatibility, screen prospective matches, and support our matchmakers.
Generate assessments, scores, insights, recommendations, and other service-related evaluations.
Communicate with you about your account, matches, services, transactions, events, support requests, and other operational matters.
Send marketing or promotional communications where permitted and subject to your communication preferences.
Maintain security, verify identity, prevent fraud or abuse, enforce our agreements, and protect users and Gayquation.
Measure and improve our websites, portal, services, marketing, and user experience.
Comply with legal, tax, accounting, regulatory, and other lawful obligations.
Providing matchmaking services necessarily involves sharing selected information with people we believe may be potential matches. Gayquation may disclose limited profile, biographical, preference, compatibility, photograph, or other relevant information to prospective matches when reasonably necessary to evaluate or facilitate an introduction.
Gayquation does not necessarily disclose all information contained in your account, assessment, internal notes, or communications. Information intended for internal review or marked as private is not automatically shared with a prospective match. The information shared may vary based on the service, stage of the matchmaking process, member preferences, safety considerations, and the circumstances of the potential introduction.
We may collect and store communications with Gayquation personnel, feedback about prospective matches or dates, Momentum Debriefs, private notes you submit through the portal, matchmaker responses, and related service records. This information may be used to improve future recommendations, identify patterns, document service activity, respond to concerns, and support the matchmaking process.
Information you submit for your matchmaker or for internal Gayquation use is not automatically disclosed to the person you are discussing unless disclosure is necessary for the service, authorized by you, or otherwise permitted by this Policy or applicable law.
As part of TrustShield™ Basic, ID, Gold, or other identity, screening, safety, or fraud-prevention processes, Gayquation may request a valid mobile phone number and may collect or receive verification-related information from you or from service providers assisting us.
A verification phone number may be used to send one-time verification codes, support account recovery or re-verification, maintain account security, and help prevent fraud or abuse. Verification information is not used for unrelated promotional messaging unless you have separately provided consent or another lawful basis applies.
Gayquation may use third-party vendors to deliver verification messages, perform identity or background-related services, or support security. Those providers may process information only as necessary to perform services for Gayquation subject to their contractual and legal obligations.
Gayquation may receive information about individuals who are not yet members when conducting outreach, headhunting, referrals, screening, or other matchmaking activity. This information may come from referrals, existing members, prospective matches, publicly available sources, social or professional profiles, or other legitimate sources. We use this information only for reasonable matchmaking, outreach, safety, verification, and related business purposes.
Gayquation may engage trusted companies and individuals to perform services on our behalf, including website and cloud hosting, communications, identity verification, security, analytics, customer support, payment processing, marketing support, email delivery, data processing, and other operational functions. These providers may access personal information only as reasonably necessary to perform their services and are expected to handle information in accordance with applicable contractual and legal requirements.
We may also disclose information when required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process; when reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or violations of our agreements; to protect the rights, safety, or property of Gayquation, our users, prospective matches, or others; or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction subject to appropriate safeguards.
Credit card transactions are processed securely by Stripe. Payment information submitted for a transaction is transmitted using encrypted connections. Gayquation generally does not receive or store complete payment-card numbers when payment information is collected and processed directly by Stripe. Stripe processes payment information in accordance with its own privacy and security practices.
Gayquation uses cookies and similar technologies to maintain login sessions, remember preferences, understand website usage, improve performance, measure marketing effectiveness, prevent fraud, and support analytics and advertising activities. We may use third-party analytics and advertising services, including services provided by Google, Microsoft, StatCounter, and similar providers.
These providers may receive information such as cookie or device identifiers, IP address, browser information, pages viewed, referral information, and interaction data, subject to their own policies and applicable law. Depending on your jurisdiction, certain uses of analytics or advertising technologies may be considered targeted advertising, sharing, or similar regulated activity, and applicable opt-out rights may be available.
You may disable or limit cookies through your browser or device settings, although doing so may affect certain website, member, portal, or logged-in functionality.
We may create or use aggregated, statistical, or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify you. We may use this information to understand service usage, improve Gayquation, perform research and analytics, develop features, measure business performance, and share general trends or statistics with partners or service providers.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain account and matchmaking records, meet contractual commitments, support safety and fraud-prevention efforts, comply with legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and pursue legitimate business purposes. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the services involved, the sensitivity of the information, and applicable legal requirements.
We do not intend to retain sensitive matchmaking information indefinitely when it is no longer reasonably necessary for a legitimate service, legal, safety, or business purpose.
You may update certain account or profile information by logging into your account or by contacting Gayquation. You may also unsubscribe from or opt out of certain marketing communications using the instructions included in those communications or by contacting us.
Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have rights to request access to personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, a copy or portability of certain information, withdrawal of certain consents, limitation of certain processing, or an opt-out from certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing activities. Where applicable, you may also have the right to appeal a decision concerning a privacy request.
We may need to verify your identity before completing a privacy request, and certain information may be retained where permitted or required by law. To submit a privacy request, contact us at support@gayquation.com.
Gayquation uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and should notify Gayquation if you believe your account or personal information has been compromised.
Gayquation serves users in multiple countries. Personal information may be processed or stored in the United States or in other countries where Gayquation or its service providers operate. Those jurisdictions may have privacy laws that differ from the laws where you live. Where required, Gayquation will use appropriate measures for international processing or transfers of personal information.
Gayquation's matchmaking services are intended for adults age 18 and older. We do not knowingly provide matchmaking services to minors or knowingly collect personal information from children for that purpose. If we learn that information has been collected from a minor in circumstances where it should not have been collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete or otherwise address it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Gayquation services, technology, business practices, or legal requirements. When changes are made, we will post the updated Policy on this page and revise the effective date. Where required by law, we may provide additional notice or request consent for material changes.
If you have questions, concerns, or privacy requests, please contact us or email support@gayquation.com.
