1. Introduction
First Impression ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform, accessible via our website and mobile application. Please read this policy carefully. By using First Impression, you agree to the practices described herein.
2. Information We Collect
- Account Information: Email address, password, and display name provided at registration.
- Profile Data: Photos (headshots, body shots, and optional feature photos), voice recordings, video introductions, age, gender, location, occupation, biography, and interests you choose to share.
- Identity Verification Data: Government-issued ID and biometric selfie data processed solely by Stripe Identity. We do not store your ID documents — they are processed and deleted by Stripe in accordance with their privacy policy.
- Payment Information: Subscription and billing data processed by Stripe. We do not store full payment card details.
- Usage Data: Interaction logs, ratings you submit, messages you send, and device/browser information for analytics and security.
- Location Data: Optional GPS coordinates used only for proximity-based sorting within the platform. Not shared externally.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To create and manage your account and profile.
- To provide peer feedback services and match you with community members.
- To verify your identity and ensure all members are real, verified adults (18+).
- To process subscription payments and manage billing.
- To send transactional emails (account confirmations, password resets, billing receipts).
- To improve platform safety, investigate abuse, and enforce our Terms of Service.
- To analyze usage patterns and improve the platform experience.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal data. We share information only in the following circumstances:
- With Other Members: Your profile (photos, display name, age, location, bio) is visible to other verified members based on your privacy settings. Your ratings and feedback scores are never visible to other members — only to you.
- Service Providers: Stripe (payments & identity verification), Base44 (platform infrastructure), and email delivery services. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data.
- Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the public.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., fraud prevention records).
6. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion of your account and associated data.
- Withdraw consent for optional data uses.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@firstimpression.app.
7. Children's Privacy
First Impression is strictly for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. Identity verification is mandatory to ensure this requirement is met. If we discover a user is under 18, their account will be immediately terminated and their data deleted.
8. Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of significant changes via email or an in-app notice. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
