1. Scope and applicability
This Privacy Policy explains how the operator of SugarDaddyMeet (“SugarDaddyMeet,” “we,” “us” or “our”) intends to collect, use, disclose, retain and protect personal information when a person visits the public website, creates or uses an account, communicates with another member, purchases a service, contacts support or otherwise interacts with the service.
The policy applies to information handled by SugarDaddyMeet. It does not govern a third-party website, app, payment provider or social network that has its own privacy policy. If a local notice presented during registration or purchase conflicts with this general policy, the more specific notice should explain which terms apply.
2. Data controller and responsible entity
SugarDaddyMeet is responsible for deciding why and how personal information covered by this policy is processed. Privacy questions and requests can be sent to support@en-sugardaddymeet.com.
3. Information we may collect
The categories below describe information that may be collected when you visit the website, create a profile, communicate, purchase a service or contact support.
| Category | Examples | Typical source |
|---|---|---|
| Account and contact data | Name or username, email, telephone number, date of birth, password credentials and account status. | You, account security providers. |
| Profile and preference data | Photos, biography, gender, interests, relationship preferences, language and location or search radius. | You and your profile activity. |
| Communications | Messages between members, reports, support requests, survey responses and other content you submit. | You and other participants. |
| Verification and safety data | Verification result, submitted images or documents, fraud signals, reports, blocks and moderation decisions, where those features are used. | You, other members and authorised verification or safety providers. |
| Transaction data | Plan, price, purchase time, renewal status, billing country, partial payment identifiers and refund or dispute history. Full card data is generally handled by a payment provider when one is used. | You, app stores and payment processors. |
| Device and usage data | IP address, device and browser type, language, timestamps, pages or features used, referring URL, cookie identifiers and diagnostic logs. | Your browser, device and service systems. |
| Approximate or precise location | Country, city, search area or device location when you actively permit a feature to access it. | You, device permissions and IP-derived data. |
Sensitive information
A dating profile may reveal or invite inferences about sexual orientation, relationship interests, health, race or ethnicity, religion and other sensitive matters. We should process sensitive information only when necessary for a feature you choose, with the consent or other legal basis required in your location. Do not add sensitive information that is not necessary for your use of the service.
Information from other sources
Where permitted, information may come from anti-fraud providers, identity or age-verification partners, payment services, app stores, public records or another member’s report. We should not treat a third-party result as infallible and may request additional context before making an account decision.
4. How information may be used
- Create, authenticate, maintain and recover accounts.
- Display profiles and enable search, recommendations and member communications.
- Provide customer service and respond to privacy, billing or safety requests.
- Process subscriptions, maintain transaction records and address disputes.
- Detect spam, fraud, account misuse, unsafe behaviour and Terms violations.
- Review reports, enforce policies and protect members, the service and the public.
- Maintain, troubleshoot, measure and improve service performance.
- Send account, security and service communications and, where permitted, marketing communications.
- Comply with law, respond to valid legal process and establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Verification images, identity documents and private communications are not used for advertising. Automated systems may analyse account, profile or message signals to detect fraud, abuse and safety risks, with authorised human review where appropriate.
5. Legal bases where required
Depending on the activity and jurisdiction, processing may rely on one or more of the following:
- Contract: processing necessary to create and operate the account or provide a purchased service.
- Legitimate interests: operating, securing and improving the service, preventing fraud and understanding use, balanced against individual rights.
- Consent: optional cookies, certain marketing, precise location, sensitive data or other processing where consent is required.
- Legal obligation: tax, accounting, consumer-protection, law-enforcement response and other duties imposed by law.
- Vital interests or public interest: limited situations involving imminent safety or another basis recognised by applicable law.
When consent is the basis, it should be as easy to withdraw as to give. Withdrawal does not make earlier lawful processing unlawful, and some features may no longer function without the information they require.
6. Profiles, messages and information shared with members
Profile information is intended to be seen by the audience described in current visibility settings. A recipient can copy, screenshot, record or redistribute what they see, even when the service prohibits misuse. Review settings before publishing and avoid information that would expose your home, workplace, finances or daily routine.
Messages are visible to their participants. They may also be processed by safety systems or reviewed by authorised personnel when reported, flagged, required for support or reasonably necessary to enforce rules and comply with law.
7. When information may be disclosed
Personal information may be disclosed only as needed for the purposes described in this policy:
- Other members: profile content, account signals and communications you choose to share.
- Service providers: hosting, security, customer support, communications, analytics, verification, moderation and payment providers working under contract.
- App stores and payment providers: to complete purchases, renewals, refunds, fraud checks and disputes.
- Professional advisers: auditors, insurers, lawyers and accountants where reasonably necessary.
- Authorities and safety organisations: when required by valid legal process or reasonably necessary to address fraud, exploitation, threats or imminent serious harm.
- Corporate transactions: a buyer, investor, lender or successor involved in a merger, financing, reorganisation or sale, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal safeguards.
- At your direction: when you ask us to connect with or disclose information to another service.
SugarDaddyMeet does not sell profile information or private messages for money. Where cookies or advertising tools are treated as a sale, sharing or targeted advertising under applicable law, eligible users may request the available opt-out through the privacy contact below.
8. International data transfers
SugarDaddyMeet may be accessed across borders, while service providers may operate in other countries. Those countries may have different privacy laws. Where required, transfers should rely on recognised safeguards such as adequacy decisions, approved contractual clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism, with supplementary protections where appropriate.
Service providers may process information in countries other than the one where it was collected. Where required, SugarDaddyMeet uses contractual and organisational safeguards designed to protect information during international transfers.
9. Data retention
Information should be kept only for as long as necessary for the purpose collected, then deleted, anonymised or securely isolated unless law permits or requires longer retention. A live retention schedule should consider account status, safety investigations, chargebacks, tax records, legal claims and fraud prevention.
| Record | Retention principle |
|---|---|
| Active account and profile | For the life of the account and a defined closure period. |
| Messages and member content | While needed to provide the service, subject to deletion settings, safety holds and legal requirements. |
| Verification material | For the shortest period necessary to complete the stated check and address fraud or legal obligations. |
| Safety and enforcement records | For a proportionate period needed to investigate reports, prevent repeat abuse and defend decisions. |
| Transaction and tax records | For the period required by accounting, tax, chargeback and consumer law. |
| Technical logs and cookie data | According to a documented security and analytics schedule. |
Retention periods may vary when a longer period is reasonably necessary for legal obligations, fraud prevention, payment records, dispute resolution or the protection of users.
10. Security and account protection
We should use administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, such as access controls, encryption in transit, secure software practices, vendor review, logging, incident response and staff confidentiality requirements. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for using a unique password, protecting your email account and device, and refusing requests for passwords or authentication codes. Contact support promptly if you suspect unauthorised access. See the account-security guidance for practical steps.
11. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies, local storage, pixels and related technologies may support authentication, security, preferences, measurement and advertising. Necessary technologies can operate because the service cannot function securely without them. Analytics or advertising technologies should be activated only with the disclosures and choices required in the visitor’s jurisdiction.
A production cookie notice should identify each category, provider, purpose and duration; distinguish first- and third-party technologies; explain how to change choices; and honour browser-based opt-out signals where legally required.
12. Your privacy choices and rights
Depending on where you live and subject to exceptions, you may have the right to:
- Know whether personal information is processed and request access to it.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request deletion or restriction of processing.
- Receive certain information in a portable format.
- Object to certain processing or withdraw consent.
- Opt out of targeted advertising, sale or sharing where those concepts apply.
- Appeal a refused privacy request where local law provides an appeal.
- Complain to a privacy or data-protection authority.
We may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify the requester and protect the account. Authorised agents may be required to provide proof of authority. We should respond within the applicable legal period and explain any lawful extension or refusal.
