Privacy Policy

Welcome to our Privacy Policy. Thank you for taking the time to read it.

We appreciate that you trust us with your information and we intend to keep that trust. This starts with making sure you understand the information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used and your choices regarding your information. This Policy describes our privacy practices in plain language, keeping legal and technical jargon to a minimum.

This Privacy Policy applies from January 1, 2024.

1. Who We Are

June Dating LLC (the “Company” or “June Dating”) is a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware. We can be reached at [email protected].

2. Where This Privacy Policy Applies

This Privacy Policy applies to websites, apps, events and other services we operate under the June Dating brand. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as our “services” in this Privacy Policy.

3. Information We Collect

It goes without saying, we can’t help you develop meaningful connections without some information about you, such as basic details about you and who you’d like to meet. We also collect information about your use of our services such as interaction logs, as well as information from third parties, where necessary for the functioning of our services.

Information you give us

You choose to give us certain information when using our services. This includes:

  • When you sign up. Your phone number, email address, and approximate location (state, city, and zipcdoe) as well as some basic details necessary for the service to work, such as your sex, age, and preferences relating to who you’d like to connect with.
  • When you register for an event. You provide us with information related to the purchases you make. In addition, you provide our payment processors with information such as your debit or credit card number and other related financial information required to make a payment.
  • When you interact with our event management platform. We process SMS and email communications within the platform. These are used to coordinate our events, support and secure our services, and to keep our community safe.
  • When you participate in surveys, focus groups or market studies. You give us your insights into the user experience of our products and services in the form of responses to our questions and testimonials.
  • When you choose to participate in our promotions, events or contests. We collect the information that you use to register or enter.
  • When you contact our customer care team. We may collect the information you share with us during the interaction.
  • If you share with us information about other people. We process this information on your behalf in order to complete your request. For example, if you report another user abusing our services or violating our policies or guidelines.

Information we receive from others

In addition to the information you may provide us directly, we may receive information about you from others, including:

  • Other users: Other users may provide information about you as they use our services, for instance as they interact with you or if they submit a report involving you.
  • Affiliates: June Dating is the first set of services of a future suite of offerings in the June Platforms family. We consider the safety and security of users a top priority. As such, if you are ever banned from one of our platforms, your information may be shared with other platforms in the June Platforms family to allow us to take necessary actions, including suspending or banning your account or preventing you from creating an account with our other services.
  • Other Partners: Where legally allowed, we can also receive information about suspected or convicted bad actors from third parties as part of our efforts to promote our members’ safety and security.

Information generated or automatically collected when you use our services

When you use our services, this usage may generate technical data about which features you’ve used, how you’ve used them and the devices you use to access our services.

  • Usage Information: Using our services generates data about your activity on our services, for instance how you use them (e.g., actions taken, information shown to you) and your in-person interactions with other members (e.g., members you connect and interact with at an event).
  • Device information: We may collect information from and about the device(s) you use to access our services, including hardware and software information such as IP address, device ID and type, advertising IDs (which are randomly generated numbers that you can reset by going into your device’ settings and, in some cases, disable entirely), and identifiers associated with cookies or other technologies that may uniquely identify a device or browser.
  • Information collected by cookies and similar technologies: We use and may allow others to use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., web beacons, pixels, SDKs) to recognize you and/or your device(s). You may read our Cookie Policy for more information on why we use them and how you can better control their use.

Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) have a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) feature that tells a website that a user does not want to have his or her online activity tracked. If a website that responds to a DNT signal receives a DNT signal, the browser can block that website from collecting certain information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, many businesses, including ours, do not currently respond to DNT signals.

4. How We Use Information

The main reason we use your information is to deliver and improve our services. Additionally, we use your info to help keep you and our community safe and in the following ways:

F. To process your information as described in this Privacy Policy, we rely on the following legal bases:

  • Provide our service to you: The reason we process your information for purposes A, B and C above is to perform the contract that you have with us. For instance, as you go about using our service to build meaningful connections, we use your information to maintain your account and operate our platform.
  • Legitimate interests: We process your information for purposes D, E and F above, based on our legitimate interest. For instance, we analyze users’ behavior on our services to continuously improve our offerings, we suggest offers we think might interest you and promote our own services, we process information to help keep our members safe and we process data where necessary to enforce our rights, assist law enforcement and enable us to defend ourselves in the event of a legal action.

We also keep data evidencing consents users give us and decisions they may have taken on the platform.
  • Consent: If you choose to provide us with information that may be considered “special” or “sensitive” in certain jurisdictions, such as your sexual orientation, you’re consenting to our processing of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In any case, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at the address provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.

5. How We Share Information

Since our goal is to help you make meaningful connections, the main sharing of users’ information is, of course, with other users. We also share some types of users’ information with service providers and partners who assist us in operating our services and, in some cases, legal authorities. We will never sell your information or data to third-parties.

  • With other users. You share information with other users when you voluntarily match with someone on the platform. If someone submits a report involving you (such as a claim you violated our Terms of Use), we may communicate to the reporter any actions, if any, we took as a result of their report.
  • With our service providers and partners. We use vendors to help us operate, distribute, market and improve our services, such as data hosting and maintenance, analytics, customer care, marketing, advertising, payment processing and security operations. We also share information with vendors who distribute and assist us in advertising our services. For instance, we may share limited information on you in hashed, non-human readable form to advertising vendors. We follow a strict vetting process prior to engaging any vendor or working with any partner. Our vendors and partners must agree to strict confidentiality obligations.
  • With our affiliates. June Dating may some day expand to include other social connectedness applications. We may use your information with affiliates for limited legitimate purposes as laid out below:
    • To make all June platforms safer and enable us to address (e.g., ban) bad actors found on one platform also on the others
    • For them to assist us in data processing operations, as processors / service providers, upon our instructions and on our behalf. Their assistance may include technical processing operations, such as data hosting and maintenance, customer care, marketing and targeted advertising, analytics, finance and accounting assistance, improving our service, securing our data and systems and fighting against spam, abuse, fraud, infringement and other wrongdoings
    • We may also share information with other June companies for other legitimate business purposes including corporate audit, analysis and consolidated reporting, where and as allowed under applicable law
  • For corporate transactions. We may transfer your information if we are involved, whether in whole or in part, in a merger, sale, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, fund raising, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy or other change of ownership or control.
  • With law enforcement / when required by law. We may disclose your information if reasonably necessary: (i) to comply with a legal process, such as a court order, subpoena or search warrant, government / law enforcement investigation or other legal requirements; (ii) to assist in the prevention or detection of crime (subject in each case to applicable law); or (iii) to protect the safety of any person.
  • To enforce legal rights. We may also share information: (i) if disclosure would mitigate our liability in an actual or threatened lawsuit; (ii) as necessary to protect our legal rights and legal rights of our members, business partners or other interested parties; (iii) to enforce our agreements with you; and (iv) to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing.
  • With your consent or at your request. We may ask for your consent to share your information with third parties. In any such case, we will make it clear why we want to share the information.

We may ask for your consent to share your information with third parties. In any such case, we will make it clear why we want to share the information.

We may use and share non-personal information (meaning information that, by itself, does not identify who you are such as device information, general demographics, general behavioral data, location in de-identified form), as well as personal information in hashed, non-human readable form, under any of the above circumstances. We may also share this information with other June companies and third parties (notably advertisers) to develop and deliver targeted advertising on our services and on websites or applications of third parties, and to analyze and report on advertising you see. We may combine this information with additional non-personal information or personal information in hashed, non-human readable form collected from other sources. More information on our use of cookies and similar technologies can be found in our Cookie Policy.

6. How Long We Retain Your Information

We keep your personal information only as long as we need it for legitimate business purposes (as laid out in Section 4) and as permitted by applicable law. If you decide to stop using our services, you can unsubscribe from our platform and you will stop receiving messages. We maintain limited data to comply with legal data retention obligations: in particular, we keep transaction data for 10 years to comply with tax and accounting legal requirements, credit card information for the duration the user may challenge the transaction and “traffic data” / logs for one year to comply with legal data retention obligations. We also maintain limited information on the basis of our legitimate interest: we keep customer care records and supporting data for five years to support our customer care decisions, enforce our rights and enable us to defend ourselves in the event of a claim. Finally, we maintain information on the basis of our legitimate interest where there is an outstanding or potential issue, claim or dispute requiring us to keep information (in particular if we receive a valid legal subpoena or request asking us to preserve data (in which case we would need to keep the data to comply with our legal obligations) or if data would otherwise be necessary as part of legal proceedings).

7. Cross-Border Data Transfers

The sharing of information laid out in Section 5 may involve cross-border data transfers and other jurisdictions may have different laws about data processing. The Company aims to only user cloud services in the United States but may not always be able to do so based on the capabilities of our cloud providers.

8. Your Rights and Choices

We also want you to be aware of your privacy rights. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access/know. You may have the right to request a copy of the information we keep about you, and in certain circumstances to receive this in a portable format. You can exercise your right to access directly within the service by emailing [email protected].
  • Delete/erase. You may request that we delete the personal information we keep about you. You can exercise your right to delete by emailing [email protected].
  • Correct/rectify/update. You can correct most information you provided to us by editing your profile directly in the service. If you believe the information we hold about you is inaccurate, you may contact us to rectify it by emailing [email protected].
  • Object/restrict. You may also have the right to object to or request that we restrict certain processing. To do so, please contact us by emailing by emailing [email protected].

For your protection and the protection of all of our users, we may ask you to provide proof of identity before we can answer the above requests. Keep in mind, we may reject requests, including if we are unable to authenticate you, if the request is unlawful or invalid, or if it may infringe on trade secrets or intellectual property or the privacy or other rights of someone else. If you wish to receive information relating to another user, such as a copy of any messages you received from them through our service, the other user will have to contact us to provide their written consent before the information is released. We may also ask them to provide proof of identity before we can answer the request. Also, we may not be able to accommodate certain requests to object to or restrict the processing of personal information, notably where such requests would not allow us to provide our service to you anymore.

If you are a resident of Virginia, Colorado, or Connecticut, USA, if we deny your privacy request, you may be able to appeal by contacting us, and explicitly referencing “Privacy Request Appeal.” If you have concerns about the result of your appeal you may contact the attorney general for your state. Additionally, please note that we do not “sell” your personal data, or use it for “targeted advertising” or “profiling” in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, as those terms are defined by applicable law in your state, so no opt-out choice is necessary.

9. SMS Messaging

We may disclose Personal Data and other information as follows:

  • Third Parties that Help Provide the Messaging Service: We will not share your opt-in to an SMS short code campaign with a third party for purposes unrelated to supporting you in connection with that campaign. We may share your Personal Data with third parties that help us provide the messaging service, including, but not limited to, platform providers, phone companies, and other vendors who assist us in the delivery of text messages.
  • Additional Disclosures: Affiliates: We may disclose the Personal Data to our affiliates or subsidiaries; however, if we do so, their use and disclosure of your Personal Data will be subject to this Policy. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

10. No Users Under 21 Allowed

Our services are restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. We do not permit individuals under the age of 21 on our platform. If you suspect that a member is under the age of 21, please contact us by emailing [email protected].

11. Job Candidates, Contractors and Vendor Representatives

We process the personal information of our job candidates, contractors and vendor representatives, as part of our recruitment and talent management operations and our management of our services that contractors and vendors provide to us. If you are a job candidate, contractor or vendor representative of ours, certain relevant terms of this Privacy Policy apply to our processing of your personal information, including the sections of this Privacy Policy that discuss the entity that is responsible for the processing of your personal information, transfers of personal information, rights you may have under applicable law, how to contact us and California-specific information.

If you are a job applicant, the personal information we process about you may vary depending on the job you seek but typically includes what you provide to us as part of your job application as well as professional qualifications, background and reference information that recruiters or other third parties share with us. We use this information to support the recruitment process, which may lead to an employment contract. For contractors and vendor representatives, we may process identification information and work-related information, as necessary to manage our relationship with you and your employer, which is necessary for the performance of our services agreement, and to establish, exercise or defend potential legal claims. We may share personal information with service providers that assist us with recruitment and technical data processing operations as well as with affiliate companies (for instance if you have a business relationship with employees of an affiliate). We keep your personal information only as long as necessary for those purposes.

12. Privacy Policy Changes

Because we’re always looking for new and innovative ways to help you build meaningful connections and strive to make sure explanations about our data practices remain up-to-date, this policy may change over time. We will notify you before any material changes take effect so that you have time to review the changes.

13. How to Contact Us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, you by emailing [email protected].
