Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 22, 2026

TrustedBuds ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, post reviews, or create lists. This includes:

• Account Info: Name, email address, and profile picture.
• User Content: Reviews, photos, and lists you create.
• Location Data: We use location data to help you find places nearby and tag reviews. This data is only collected when you are using the app.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and maintain the TrustedBuds service.
• Facilitate social interactions between you and your accepted friends.
• Detect and prevent fraud, spam, and abuse.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. Your reviews and lists are only visible to the specific friends or groups you choose to share them with. We may share data with service providers (like Google Maps or Firebase) solely to support the app's functionality.

4. User Generated Content (UGC) & Moderation

TrustedBuds has a zero-tolerance policy for objectionable content. User-generated content is actively moderated. We reserve the right to remove any content and ban users who violate our Terms of Service.

5. Your Rights (Account Deletion)

You have the right to delete your account at any time. You can do this directly within the app settings ("Delete Account"). This action permanently removes your profile, reviews, and data from our servers.
