YOUR INFORMATION

Privacy & Cookie Policy

Information we collect

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.

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

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.

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.
