Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 29, 2026

The Coterie Society (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, how it is protected, and the choices you have. By using our service you consent to the practices described below.

We do not sell or share Coterie member information to any third party — including Google, OpenAI, or Meta.

Your data is used solely to operate this service and facilitate introductions between members.

Information We Collect

To provide matchmaking introductions, we collect the information you choose to share in your application, including: your name, age, gender, contact details (email, mobile, social handles), photos, location, marital status, family preferences, religious identity and practice, lifestyle, values, free-text answers, and any other details you submit. We also collect basic technical and usage data when you use the app.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to operate and improve the matchmaking service — including reviewing applications, assessing compatibility, suggesting and facilitating introductions, communicating with you (by email and SMS), and providing support. We do not sell your personal information.

Data Storage, Security & Certifications

Your data is hosted on the Base44 platform, which maintains independently audited, industry-leading security certifications and standards, including:

  • SOC 2 Type II — audited controls for security, availability, and confidentiality.
  • ISO/IEC 27001 — certified information security management system.
  • GDPR — General Data Protection Regulation aligned data-handling practices.

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with continuous risk management and strict access governance. While we and our infrastructure providers apply robust safeguards, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Sharing & Disclosure

We share limited profile details with a potential match only when an introduction is made, and only as needed to facilitate that introduction. We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate (e.g., hosting, email/SMS delivery) under confidentiality obligations, or where required by law.

Your Choices & Rights

You may access, correct, or request deletion of your information at any time. You can manage email and SMS preferences — including unsubscribing — from your communication preferences page. Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws (such as GDPR).

Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your profile is active or as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion as described above.

Eligibility

The service is intended only for individuals 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance.
