YOUR INFORMATION
Privacy & Cookie Policy
Effective October 13, 2026
Information we collect
- Account and profile: Account identifiers, email address, display name, date of birth, role, time zone, and profile details you choose to share.
- Services: Booking and payment status, in-app messages, and safety reports.
- Security: Device and security records.
Free Hangouts
When you RSVP, we save your name, party size, event choices, any email or phone number you provide, optional referral source, and attendance recorded by the host.
- Who can see it: The owner and the approved host assigned to your outing can access the details needed to organize it. Guest contact details and attendance records are not public.
- Updates: You choose email and text updates separately. Each channel requires verification before ongoing messages are sent. Promotions require separate consent.
- Your RSVP link: Change your choices through your private RSVP or event-updates link. Keep it private because it grants access to your RSVP.
When you RSVP while signed in, we link the record to your verified account. A matching email or phone number alone does not prove ownership. For guest data removal or a lost private link, contact the Help Center.
Specialist applications
Applicants provide their legal name, date of birth, state, public display name, profile details, professional history, notification preferences, and payout-verification status.
Our payment and identity provider should collect and process identity documents, Social Security information, and bank details rather than storing them directly with FSAD.
How we use information
- Authenticate accounts, check adult eligibility, and review applications and media.
- Manage bookings and communications, process payments and guide payouts, and provide support.
- Prevent fraud and abuse, enforce policies, and meet legal obligations.
Sharing
We share only what’s needed with providers of authentication, hosting, storage, payments, identity verification, notifications, security, and customer support. Clients cannot see Specialists’ notification contact details. We do not sell personal information.
Cookies and analytics
We may use essential cookies to secure accounts and remember preferences, and limited analytics to understand site performance and improve the service. Where required, we will not use optional cookies without consent.
Messages
We store in-app messages so participants can read their conversations and reports can be investigated. Do not send financial credentials, government identification, or other highly sensitive information in messages.
Guest messages
To use Messages+ without an account, enter your name and phone number and confirm you’re 18 or older. Your chosen guide and the owner can see those details and the conversation for replies, related follow-up, and safety review. Guest names and numbers are self-reported, not verified identities.
Sending a guest message does not enroll you in marketing. Providing a phone number does not turn on automatic text or call notifications.
- Access: An essential, secure browser cookie grants access to your guest conversations. New sessions last seven days. Existing sessions keep their displayed expiration date.
- Keep a conversation: Before access expires, sign in or create an account in the same browser. Choose “Save conversation to my account.”
- End guest access: Ending the session revokes access without erasing messages a guide received. Clearing cookies or switching browsers also removes access. A name or phone number alone cannot restore it.
We retain guest messages and contact details for support and safety review. For access, correction, or deletion, see Your choices.
Retention and deletion
We retain account information while your account is active. You can request deletion in the app. We may retain limited booking, transaction, dispute, fraud-prevention, tax, consent, and safety records when legally required or reasonably necessary.
Your choices
You can update your profile, change notification preferences, report a concern, withdraw optional consent, or request account deletion. Email support@fightingsad.com for access, correction, deletion, or privacy questions.
Security
We use managed authentication, encrypted connections, restricted server-side authorization, provider-hosted identity verification, and access controls. No system is completely secure. Protect your email account and devices.
US launch
The initial service is for adults in the United States. We will update this policy before expanding to additional jurisdictions.
