Last updated: May 2026

Real Before Reveal was created to help people build genuine connections without pressure, judgment, or superficial expectations. Your privacy matters deeply here. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices you have.

1. Information You Provide

We collect the information you choose to share when using the Service, including:

• Name, age, and basic account details
• Profile information (values, lifestyle, preferences, habits, etc.)
• Optional personal details such as children, pets, faith, or relationship preferences
• Messages, prompts, reactions, and conversation responses
• Photos, videos, audio notes, or other media you upload

2. Information Collected Automatically

To keep the platform safe and functioning, we may automatically collect:

• Device information (browser type, operating system)
• IP address and approximate location
• Login timestamps
• Error logs and performance data
• Security‑related signals (suspicious activity, bot‑like behavior)

3. How Your Information Is Used

We use your information to:

• Create and display your profile
• Match you with compatible users
• Enable messaging and communication features
• Improve the platform and user experience
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and harmful behavior
• Respond to reports, safety concerns, or support requests
• Comply with legal obligations

4. What We Do NOT Do

We do not:

• Sell your data
• Share your information with advertisers

• Share private details without your consent unless required by law

5. Local Storage & Cookies

Real Before Reveal stores your information locally in your browser using localStorage. This means your data stays on your device unless you delete it or clear your browser.

We may also use cookies or similar technologies to:

• Keep you logged in

6. Messages & Conversations

Messages are stored locally for now. Future versions may include secure cloud storage for safety and backup purposes. If cloud storage is added, you will receive clear notice and updated terms.

7. Photo & Media Privacy

Photos remain hidden until both people choose to reveal them. No one can see your photos without your permission — ever.

8. Admin Access for Safety

To maintain a safe environment, authorized administrators may access:

• Messages (including deleted or edited versions)
• Photos and videos (including deleted items)
• Reports, blocks, and safety flags
• Login and device logs

This access is used only for moderation, safety, fraud prevention, and legal compliance.

9. Data Sharing

We may share information with:

• Service providers (hosting, moderation tools, payment processors)
• Law enforcement when required by law or to protect someone’s safety
• Other users only as necessary for the platform to function (e.g., your profile)

10. Data Retention

We may retain:

• Messages (including deleted versions)
• Media uploads
• Reports and moderation logs
• Login and device logs

Data is kept only as long as necessary for safety, legal, and operational reasons. Backups may persist for a limited time even after deletion.

You may have the right to:

• Access the information you provided

• Clear your browser storage
• Request deletion of cloud‑stored data (if applicable)
• Request a copy of your data

12. Children’s Privacy

Real Before Reveal is strictly for adults 18+. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. Accounts found to belong to minors will be removed.

13. Security

We use standard security practices to protect your information. However, no online platform can guarantee 100% security. Please use good judgment when sharing personal details.

14. International Users

If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the U.S. By using the platform, you consent to this transfer.

15. Third‑Party Services

The platform may link to third‑party websites or services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review their policies before interacting with them.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are significant, we will notify you through the app or by email. Continued use of the Service means you accept the updated policy.
