Welcome to Tether. This Privacy Policy explains how Tether ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the Tether mobile application (the "App").
Tether is designed to help couples strengthen their connection through shared questions, reflections, and conversations. Protecting the privacy of personal information and relationship data is important to us, and this policy outlines how information is handled when you use the App.
1. Information We Collect
In order to operate the App and provide its features, we collect certain types of information from users. When you create an account, we may collect basic account information such as your name or display name, email address, login credentials, and subscription status.
Tether allows users to connect their account with a partner so they can share and view answers together within the App. When this connection occurs, information relating to the connection between partners may be stored, including connection status and shared participation in question categories or activities.
The App also allows users to answer questions and write reflections. These answers and responses are considered user generated content and are stored so that they can be viewed within the App by you and, where applicable, by your connected partner.
We may also collect limited technical information related to how the App is used. This may include information about device type, operating system, feature usage within the App, app performance, error logs, and analytics data that helps us understand how features are used and improve the functionality of the App.
2. How We Use Information
Information collected through the App is used to operate and maintain the service and to provide the core features of Tether. This includes enabling shared experiences between connected partners, storing and displaying answers to questions, managing subscriptions and access to features, and improving the overall functionality and user experience of the App. Technical information about App usage may also be used to monitor performance, identify bugs, and improve stability and product development.
3. Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information or relationship data to third parties. Information may be shared in limited circumstances necessary to operate the App. Content that you choose to share within the App may be visible to your connected partner as part of the intended functionality of Tether.We may also use trusted third party service providers to support the operation of the App, such as cloud hosting providers, analytics services, or payment processors. These providers only receive the information necessary to perform their services and are required to handle that information securely. Information may also be disclosed if required by law or if necessary to protect the safety, rights, or integrity of Tether, its users, or the public.
4. Data Storage and Security
Account information and user generated content are stored on secure servers so that the App can function properly and allow partners to access shared responses. We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information from unauthorised access, misuse, or disclosure. However, no digital platform can guarantee complete security and users should be aware that transmitting information over the internet carries inherent risks.
5. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as necessary to provide the services offered through the App and to maintain the functionality of user accounts. If you choose to delete your account, associated account information and stored responses may be removed or anonymised within a reasonable period of time, subject to technical requirements and legal obligations.
6. Children's Privacy
Tether is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under this age.If we become aware that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected through the App, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information as soon as possible. Parents or guardians who believe that their child has provided personal information through the App are encouraged to contact us.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the functionality of the App, or legal requirements. When updates are made, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy will be revised.Continued use of the App after any changes to this Privacy Policy indicates acceptance of the updated terms.
