Privacy Policy

One free community

Eligible adults can register free, prepare a private profile and add photographs. After email verification, profile completion, at least three photographs, staff approval and publication consent, members can browse, filter, express interest and message mutual connections. Core community features are free for eligible members. Blocking, reporting and privacy controls remain available. Location restrictions and reasonable safety limits apply.

Scope and operator

Autowale Services LLC operates CEO Single Connect Worldwide. Contact support@singleconnectworldwide.com for privacy questions. This notice covers visitors, Free members, support and safety enquiries, and records of historical transactions where applicable. Public website browsing does not create a profile.

Information collected

Signup collects email, a password hash, country/applicable region, adult-screening result and Terms/Privacy receipt. Signup birth date is checked but not stored. Members can then choose to save display name, private birth date, residence, relationship intention, interests, personal introduction and up to six photos in a private draft, even before email verification. Profile birth date supports adult eligibility and age display. Staff review submitted profiles and photos. We also process publication choices, blocks, support requests, safety reports, account actions, email delivery records and proportionate security information. Full legal name, identity documents, payment information, faith, ethnicity, sexual preferences and the full Relationship Blueprint are not required for Free. Video uploads are disabled. Do not put contact details, sensitive information, intimate images or information about children in profile text or photos.

Purposes

We use account/profile information to provide the service requested, check declared adult eligibility, send essential account mail, operate eligible browsing, apply visibility choices and moderation, prevent abuse and handle privacy/support obligations. Where applicable, account provision relies on the requested service/contract; proportionate security, moderation and rights handling rely on the applicable legitimate-interest or legal-obligation basis. A declared birth date is not independently verified. We do not sell profile information or use it for targeted advertising. Optional analytics has a separate choice. Communication records are processed to provide the free service. Historical transaction records are handled only where applicable for support, recordkeeping and legal obligations.

Sensitive information and choices

The Free form does not ask for structured gender, dating-partner, faith, ethnicity or health answers. Avoid these sensitive details in free text and photographs. Acknowledging the general notice is not consent to sensitive profiling. The full Relationship Blueprint remains closed in this release. Previously collected sensitive answers remain private and subject to the existing specific permission and withdrawal controls at /members/preferences/; withdrawal hides the profile and triggers appropriate follow-up. It does not erase other people’s copies or override lawful preservation.

Profile visibility and messages

Draft profiles and photographs are private. Community visibility requires verified email, a complete eligible profile, at least three photographs, staff approval and separate publication consent. Eligible members see the chosen display name, age, country, introduction, intention, interests and photographs, not account email, exact birth date or private Blueprint answers.

Interests and mutual-connection records are used to provide connections. Messages store sender, recipient, message content and timestamps. Conversations are available only to the two eligible participants with a mutual connection. Messages are not end-to-end encrypted. Authorized personnel may access relevant records only within assigned support, moderation, safety or legal functions. Blocking or ending a connection stops further member access; it does not automatically erase records needed for a documented safety or legal hold. Account closure, deletion and backup handling follow the retention section and existing data-request procedures.

Service providers and disclosures

Hostinger hosts the site and member records. Google/Gmail handles account and support email. Where an applicable historical transaction involved Stripe, transaction, refund, fraud and dispute records may be retained for the relevant support or legal purpose; SCW does not store full card numbers. See these providers’ privacy notices for their own processing. Phone and government-document verification are not used. We may disclose relevant records when legally required or otherwise lawfully permitted, or to protect people against abuse. We do not promise that providers store data only in the United States.

International applicants

SCW operates in the United States. Hostinger hosts the service in the US (provider-reported Phoenix production and Boston backup storage); Google handles account/support email. We do not guarantee every support or replica location or treat a provider DPA as complete international clearance. Applicable representation, registration and transfer safeguards must be addressed for the offered scope. Country support alone is not legal authorization. The Privacy acknowledgement does not provide blanket consent to every international transfer.

Cookies and security

Essential session and request-protection cookies support sign-in and security. No advertising trackers are used. Optional first-party website analytics runs only when enabled and you choose Allow analytics. You may decline or withdraw through Analytics privacy choices on measured pages or this notice. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals prevent collection. No historical traffic is reconstructed. Any external service used for an applicable historical transaction has its own privacy practices. The member service uses HTTPS, hashed passwords, access-controlled photo storage and re-encoding to remove photo location metadata. No system can guarantee complete security. Keep your credentials private and report suspected compromise promptly.

Optional website analytics

With your consent, SCW measures public home, membership, Blueprint introduction and free sign-up page loads, visits and estimated unique browsers. Signed-in activity, staff tools, safety requests, private profile content and photos are excluded. Random browser identifiers expire after 30 days; keyed identifiers in visit records are deleted after 30 days by the existing scheduled maintenance. We retain daily aggregate counts without browser identifiers. We do not store IP addresses, full page URLs, search terms or full referrer URLs for these analytics. Referral hosts and approved campaign labels become general source categories, including TikTok where identifiable. Country-level counts are available only through a configured trusted server source; otherwise location is unknown. No precise visitor location is collected. Conversion counts link a consenting visit to completion of registration without storing an account identifier in analytics. Browser estimates can differ from actual people. Withdrawing deletes analytics identifiers from this browser and stops future optional measurement; it does not erase prior aggregate counts. Essential sign-in and security cookies continue to operate.

Retention and deletion

Unverified accounts, including private drafts and photos, are reviewed after 30 days. Verified accounts with no sign-in are reviewed after 12 months and given 30 days’ notice before routine removal. Routine resolved support is reviewed after 90 days; minimal acceptance/audit proof is reviewed 12 months after closure. Applicable legal deadlines, necessary financial records and documented safety/legal holds take precedence, with recorded purpose and review/end triggers. These are review procedures, not promises of instantaneous automatic deletion. Account closure disables access; reviewed profile/file and basic-contact erasure are separate steps. Messages, payment, support, evidence, mailbox/provider and backup copies require their own review. Historical Hostinger backups cannot be selectively edited and expire under the provider cycle. Existing encrypted recovery copies and deletion/hold reconciliation are retained; a restored service remains isolated until current decisions are reconciled. Complete live VPS-volume encryption has not been confirmed, and no complete-erasure or backup-expiry guarantee is made. Requests remain open where necessary action or the actual response is pending.

Privacy requests

Email support@singleconnectworldwide.com from your registered address to request access, correction, export, deletion, withdrawal of optional consent or account closure. We verify requests proportionately, explain any permitted extension or refusal and respond within applicable legal deadlines. Authorised representatives may submit requests subject to verification. Appeal a privacy decision by replying with Privacy appeal. We do not charge or discriminate for exercising applicable privacy rights. You may also complain to the appropriate regulator. Depending on your location and applicable law, rights may also include restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent, and a complaint to your local data-protection regulator. We do not claim that every privacy statute applies to this business.

Children and changes

SCW is for people aged 18 or older. Report a suspected underage account immediately through the Safety route. Such accounts may be restricted and relevant information reviewed or deleted subject to preservation duties. Material policy changes will be dated, with notice to affected members where required.
