Privacy Policy

Welcome to SaintlySingles.

SaintlySingles is an online dating, friendship and social community created especially for singles associated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Australia and New Zealand.

Our mission is to provide a safe, respectful and welcoming environment where members can meet new people, build friendships, participate in online social events and potentially find a lifelong companion.

SaintlySingles is open to everyone aged 18 or older who agrees to follow our Community Standards, which reflect the values and standards of conduct of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

We recognise that members share personal and sometimes sensitive information when joining an online community. We take the responsibility of protecting that information seriously.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who may see it, how we protect it and the choices and rights available to you.

By creating an account, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. Where required, we will separately request your consent for particular types of information or uses.

SaintlySingles is operated by Saintly Singles LLC, a limited liability company registered in Utah, United States, trading as SaintlySingles.

The service is independently designed and managed by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

SaintlySingles is not owned, operated, sponsored or officially endorsed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

When you register for and use SaintlySingles, we may collect the following information.

• Full legal name
• Preferred or display name
• Email address

B. Profile Information

To help members discover and connect with compatible people, your profile may include:

• Photographs

• Personal interests and hobbies
• Personal description or biography
• Faith-related information
• Church membership and activity information
• Temple-related status or preferences
• Other information you voluntarily choose to share

Certain profile information may be required to participate in the service, while other information may be optional.

Because SaintlySingles serves a faith-oriented community, some information we collect, particularly religious affiliation and beliefs, may be considered sensitive personal information under applicable privacy laws.

We collect and use sensitive information with your informed consent or another lawful basis where permitted.

C. Identity and Membership Verification

To help discourage fraudulent profiles, impersonation and inappropriate use of the platform, SaintlySingles requires members to complete an identity and verification process.

This may include:

• Government-issued photo identification
• A live selfie or identity confirmation photograph
• A current photograph holding a Book of Mormon
• Questions relating to Church membership, ward, stake or local mission
• Other reasonable verification steps designed to establish identity and the accuracy of profile information

Verification information is used for identification, age confirmation, authenticity checks, fraud prevention and platform safety.

Verification materials are not displayed on public member profiles.

Where automated facial comparison or biometric verification technology is used, we will explain the process and seek any consent required by law before collecting or processing biometric information.

We do not use identity verification photographs or government identification documents for advertising or unrelated commercial purposes.

We aim to collect only the verification information reasonably necessary for these purposes and to retain it only for as long as justified by operational, safety and legal requirements.

A verified account does not guarantee a member's identity, honesty, intentions or conduct.

D. Communications and Activity

When using SaintlySingles, we may process:

• Private messages exchanged between members
• Connection requests and responses
• Participation in online groups and events
• Reports of inappropriate activity
• Blocking and moderation activity
• Customer support communications
• Information about how you interact with the platform

Private messages are intended for their recipients and are not publicly displayed.

However, authorised personnel or approved service providers may access communications where reasonably necessary to investigate reported misconduct, enforce Community Standards, maintain security, provide support or comply with legal requirements.

We do not routinely publish private conversations.

E. Technical and Device Information

We may automatically collect information including:

• IP address
• Device type and operating system
• Browser or application version
• Login times and activity logs
• Approximate location derived from network information
• Cookies or similar technologies

This information helps us operate, maintain, improve and protect the service.

F. Payment Information

If paid subscriptions or purchases are offered, payments may be processed by secure third-party payment providers.

SaintlySingles may receive information such as payment status, transaction date, amount, subscription type and limited billing details.

Complete payment-card information is handled by the payment provider and is not intended to be stored directly by SaintlySingles.

We use personal information to:

• Create, verify and manage member accounts.

We do not sell members' personal information to data brokers.

We do not disclose sensitive religious information to outside advertisers for targeted advertising.

SaintlySingles is designed to facilitate connections between members. Some profile information must therefore be visible to other members.

Depending on your profile settings and the features available, other eligible members may see:

• Your display name
• Your age
• Your general location
• Your profile photographs
• Your biography and interests
• Relationship and friendship preferences

We encourage members not to include home addresses, financial information or other highly sensitive details in profiles or conversations.

Members who receive information from other members must respect its confidentiality and comply with our Community Standards.

SaintlySingles is built around a community where shared religious values are important.

We may ask members about their affiliation with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and related information, including Church activity and temple-related status.

This information may be used to:

• Help members identify others who share their faith and values.
• Support compatibility preferences and profile filters.
• Provide appropriate community experiences.
• Help verify information voluntarily submitted during registration.

Participation is open to people who are not Church members, provided they meet our age requirements and agree to our Community Standards.

We do not represent that SaintlySingles membership verification constitutes official Church verification or endorsement.

We do not disclose personal membership information to Church leaders or organisations as part of ordinary platform operations.

We will not contact a member's ward, stake, bishop or other Church representative to request confidential information without appropriate authority and any necessary consent.

SaintlySingles may provide online group gatherings, social activities, virtual events and small-group meetings.

When participating in these activities:

• Your display name and profile photograph may be visible to other participants.
• Your voice and video image may be visible if you activate your microphone or camera.
• Other participants may see information that you voluntarily share.
• Event hosts and authorised moderators may monitor activities to maintain appropriate conduct.
• Reports of inappropriate behaviour may be reviewed by SaintlySingles administrators.
• Members must respect the privacy of other participants.

Recording, photographing, reproducing or distributing another member's private conversations or event participation without appropriate consent is prohibited by our Community Standards.

Official recording of an event, if offered, will be disclosed to participants in advance, with any consent required by applicable law.

We may share information only when reasonably necessary for operating and protecting SaintlySingles or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

This may include sharing information with:

Service Providers

Approved providers who assist with hosting, account verification, payment processing, communications, technical services, security and customer support.

Other Members

Information you make available through your profile, messages, connections and event participation.

Legal Authorities

When required by applicable law, lawful legal process or when otherwise legally permitted to respond to serious safety concerns, fraud or suspected criminal activity.

Business Transfers

If SaintlySingles undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of business assets, personal information may be transferred subject to applicable privacy protections and notification requirements.

We require service providers handling personal information on our behalf to apply appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards.

We do not sell members' private messages, identification documents or verification images.

SaintlySingles is operated by a company based in the United States and initially serves members primarily in Australia and New Zealand.

Personal information may be stored, processed or accessed in the United States, Australia, New Zealand or other countries where approved service providers operate.

Privacy laws and protections can differ between countries.

Where applicable, we take reasonable steps to ensure that overseas recipients protect personal information in accordance with relevant legal requirements, including the Australian Privacy Principles and New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020.

These steps may include appropriate contractual safeguards, restrictions on access and use, security reviews and other lawful transfer arrangements.

Where a particular international transfer requires informed authorisation or consent, we will provide the necessary information and obtain that authorisation or consent.

We use reasonable technical, organisational and administrative safeguards designed to protect member information against unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, disclosure and loss.

Depending on the information and systems involved, safeguards may include:

• Secure communications and encryption
• Controlled administrative access
• Authentication and access management
• Security monitoring
• Restricted access to identity verification documents
• Secure payment processing
• Staff and service-provider confidentiality obligations
• Procedures for responding to suspected security incidents

No internet-based service can guarantee complete security.

Members also play an important role in protecting their accounts by using secure passwords, protecting login credentials and reporting suspicious activity.

If a data breach occurs, we will investigate and make notifications to affected individuals and relevant authorities where required by applicable law.

Subject to applicable laws and reasonable operational requirements, you may:

• Access personal information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate or outdated information.
• Edit your member profile.
• Control available profile visibility and preference settings.
• Request deletion of your account and eligible personal information.
• Withdraw consent for particular uses of sensitive information, where applicable.
• Unsubscribe from optional promotional communications.
• Report inappropriate disclosure or misuse of your information.
• Request information about how your personal information is handled.
• Raise a privacy complaint.

Certain information may need to be retained where reasonably necessary or legally required, including records relating to transactions, disputes, serious safety incidents or legal obligations.

Withdrawal of consent for information essential to identity verification or membership functions may prevent continued access to some or all of the service.

Requests may be submitted to: support@saintlysingles.app

We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding.

We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable privacy laws.

Members may request account deletion through available account settings or by contacting SaintlySingles support.

Following a valid deletion request, we will remove or de-identify personal information that is no longer reasonably required, subject to applicable legal and operational obligations.

Some information may be retained for limited purposes such as:

• Compliance with tax, financial or other legal obligations
• Resolution of disputes
• Investigation of serious misconduct or safety incidents
• Prevention of fraud and repeated platform abuse
• Enforcement or defence of legal claims
• Security and system integrity

Information already shared with other members, such as messages they have received, may remain in their accounts where lawful and appropriate.

Copies independently saved by other members are outside our direct control.

Data held in system backups may remain until the applicable backup retention period expires, subject to appropriate access restrictions.

SaintlySingles will establish retention periods appropriate to each category of information, taking particular care to minimise the retention of identity documents and sensitive verification materials.

Our website and application may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• Maintain secure login sessions
• Remember account preferences
• Protect against fraudulent activity
• Understand service performance
• Identify technical problems
• Improve the member experience

We will provide appropriate information and choices for non-essential cookies or tracking technologies where required by applicable law.

SaintlySingles is exclusively intended for adults aged 18 years or older.

People under 18 are not permitted to register or participate.

We may require reasonable age verification and may suspend or terminate accounts where age eligibility cannot be established.

If we become aware that a person under 18 has registered, we will take appropriate steps to close the account and delete associated information, subject to any necessary legal or safety retention requirements.

Protecting privacy and maintaining a respectful environment are shared responsibilities.

All members must agree to our Community Standards.

Members must not:

• Misrepresent their identity or impersonate another person.
• Share another member's personal information without appropriate permission.
• Harass, threaten, exploit or intimidate other members.
• Use the platform to conduct scams or other fraudulent activities.
• Distribute private communications, photographs or event recordings without appropriate authorisation.
• Attempt to access another member's account or private information unlawfully.
• Use information obtained through SaintlySingles for unsolicited commercial solicitation or unrelated purposes.

SaintlySingles may investigate reported violations and suspend or terminate accounts when justified.

Identity verification, moderation and reporting tools help reduce risk but cannot eliminate every risk associated with online interaction or in-person meetings.

Members should exercise appropriate judgement when communicating or arranging to meet.

We may send essential communications relating to your account, including verification requests, security alerts, service updates, billing notices and important policy changes.

We may separately offer information about events, membership features, promotions or other community opportunities.

Where required by law, promotional communications will be sent only with appropriate consent and will include a way to unsubscribe.

Opting out of promotional communications does not prevent necessary administrative or security notifications.

SaintlySingles may contain links to third-party websites, payment providers or external event services.

Those services may operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

We encourage members to review the privacy practices of any third-party service before providing personal information.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our features, operating practices, technology or legal obligations.

The latest version will be published on the SaintlySingles website with an updated effective date.

If we make material changes affecting how personal information is collected, used or disclosed, we will provide appropriate notice and obtain additional consent where required.

If you have questions or concerns about how SaintlySingles handles your personal information, please contact our Privacy Officer at: support@saintlysingles.app

Please describe your concern and provide sufficient information for us to investigate.

We will review complaints fairly and respond within a reasonable period, consistent with applicable law.

Depending on where you live and the laws applicable to SaintlySingles, you may also have the right to contact a privacy regulator.

• Australia: Office of the Australian Information Commissioner — https://www.oaic.gov.au
• New Zealand: Office of the Privacy Commissioner — https://www.privacy.org.nz

Members may also have additional privacy rights under applicable United States federal or state laws.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to restrict rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
