Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 16, 2026

Your privacy matters to us. This page explains how TapIn collects, uses, and protects your information during beta and after launch.

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how TapIn, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company (“TapIn,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal information in connection with your access to and use of the TapIn mobile application and related services (collectively, the “Service”). This Policy is intended to comply with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), and is designed to be adaptable to evolving legal and regulatory requirements.

By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Policy. Where required by law, we will obtain your affirmative consent before processing your personal information for purposes not described in this Policy.

1. Company Information

TapIn, LLC is the entity responsible for the processing of your personal information under this Policy. TapIn, LLC is organized under the laws of the State of Missouri and maintains its principal place of business at 16618 Caulks Creek Rdg, Wildwood, Missouri 63005. You may contact us regarding this Policy at admin@tapin.llc.

2. Categories of Personal Information Collected

We collect and process the following categories of personal information:

  • Identifiers: name, email address, username, device identifiers, and IP address;

  • Profile information: biography, preferences, interests, photos, gender, and relocation-related data;

  • Communications: messages you send or receive through the Service and correspondence with us;

  • Technical and usage data: device type, operating system, application version, log data, and interaction patterns;

  • Location information: city-level location data and approximate geographic coordinates, where you have enabled location permissions.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information as defined under applicable privacy law (such as financial account numbers, Social Security numbers, health information, or biometric identifiers) beyond what is reasonably necessary to operate the Service. Photos submitted to your profile are used for profile display and content moderation purposes only. TapIn does not use face-matching technology, biometric recognition, or automated identity verification based on your photos.

3. Location Data

TapIn uses city-level location information provided by users to support matching and location-based features. If you enable precise location permissions on your device, TapIn may also collect approximate geographic coordinates while you are actively using the Service. TapIn does not collect location data in the background when the app is not in use. You can withdraw location permissions at any time through your device settings. Your precise location is not shared with other users unless you choose to share it. Location data is used for matching, recommendations, fraud prevention, and platform safety.

4. Analytics, SDKs, and Tracking Technologies

The Service uses third-party analytics SDKs, logging technologies, and similar tools to collect technical and usage data described in Section 2. These tools may include device identifiers, advertising identifiers (such as IDFA or GAID), and usage analytics. TapIn uses this data to understand how users interact with the Service, improve functionality, and detect and prevent fraud.

You may limit advertising identifier collection through your device’s privacy settings (e.g., “Limit Ad Tracking” on iOS or “Opt out of Ads Personalization” on Android). TapIn does not use tracking technologies for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising based on your activity across third-party services.

5. Sources of Personal Information

We collect personal information directly from you when you create an account, complete your profile, communicate with other users, or otherwise interact with the Service. We also collect information automatically through your device and usage of the Service, including through logging technologies and analytics SDKs. In addition, we may receive information from third-party service providers, such as authentication providers, infrastructure vendors, and analytics partners that support the functionality of the Service.

6. Purposes of Processing

We process personal information for the following business and operational purposes:

  • Providing, operating, maintaining, and improving the Service;

  • Facilitating user matching and enabling communication between users;

  • Displaying profile information and User Content to other users in accordance with your settings;

  • Ensuring the safety, integrity, and security of the platform;

  • Detecting, preventing, and addressing fraud, abuse, and other harmful activity, including through automated tools;

  • Moderating User Content, which may involve both automated tools and human review;

  • Responding to inquiries, feedback, and support requests;

  • Analyzing usage patterns and improving product functionality;

  • Sending transactional messages, service notifications, and, where you have opted in, promotional communications;

  • Complying with applicable legal obligations and enforcing our Terms of Service.

7. Legal Bases for Processing

Where required by applicable law, we rely on one or more legal bases to process your personal information. These may include: your affirmative consent where required; the necessity of processing to perform a contract with you, including providing the Service; our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Service, provided that such interests are not overridden by your rights; and compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject.

8. Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to other users of the Service in accordance with your activity and the functionality of the platform, including profile information and content you choose to share. We may also disclose personal information to third-party service providers that perform services on our behalf, including cloud hosting, database management, messaging services, analytics, and authentication providers. These service providers are contractually obligated to process personal information only as necessary to provide services to us and in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

We may disclose personal information to governmental authorities, law enforcement, or other third parties where required by law, legal process, or regulatory obligation, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of TapIn, our users, or others. We may also disclose personal information in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar corporate transaction.

TapIn does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising.

9. Communications and Push Notifications

TapIn may send you transactional communications (such as account confirmations, security alerts, and service updates) as well as, where you have opted in, promotional emails or push notifications about new features or other TapIn offerings. You may opt out of promotional communications at any time by following the unsubscribe link in any email or adjusting your notification settings within the app. Opting out of promotional communications will not prevent TapIn from sending you transactional or service messages.

10. Automated Decision-Making

TapIn uses automated tools to assist with content moderation, fraud detection, and platform safety. These tools may flag content or accounts for review or enforcement action. Where automated moderation results in account suspension or content removal, you may appeal the decision by contacting admin@tapin.llc. TapIn does not use fully automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human oversight.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy. The following retention periods apply as a general guideline:

  • Account and profile data: retained for the life of your account, after which it is deleted or anonymized;

  • Messages and communications: retained for the life of your account for safety, moderation, and dispute resolution purposes;

  • Technical and usage data (logs, analytics): retained for 90 days, unless retained longer for ongoing security investigations;

  • Deleted accounts: account information and associated user data are deleted when a user deletes their account, unless a legal hold requires longer retention;

  • Legal holds: data subject to an active legal obligation, investigation, or dispute may be retained beyond standard periods as required.

Retention periods may vary based on the nature of the information, applicable legal requirements, and legitimate business needs.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information, including the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you;

  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;

  • Request deletion of your personal information;

  • Obtain a copy of your information in a portable format;

  • Request restriction of or object to certain processing activities;

  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on your consent.

To exercise your rights, contact us at admin@tapin.llc. We will respond to verifiable requests within 45 days of receipt. We may require you to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. If your request is denied, we will explain the reason, and you may appeal by emailing admin@tapin.llc with the subject line “Privacy Appeal.” You may also authorize an agent to submit requests on your behalf, subject to identity verification requirements.

13. California Privacy Rights (CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”). The following table [see section 21] describes, by category, the personal information TapIn collects, the sources, purposes, disclosures, and retention periods as required by California law. TapIn does not sell or share personal information as defined under California law, and therefore does not offer a “Do Not Sell or Share” opt-out link. TapIn does not discriminate against users who exercise their California privacy rights. To exercise your rights as a California resident, contact us at admin@tapin.llc.

14. U.S. State Privacy Rights

In addition to California, residents of other U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws (including but not limited to Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and other states with enacted privacy legislation) may have similar rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of their personal information, and to opt out of certain data uses. TapIn will honor such rights as required by applicable law. To submit a request, contact admin@tapin.llc. TapIn will respond within the timeframe required by your state’s applicable law.

15. Data Transfers

Your personal information may be processed and stored in the United States and in other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. These jurisdictions may have data protection laws that differ from those in your state or country. Where applicable, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information when it is transferred across borders.

16. Service Providers

We engage third-party vendors and service providers to support the operation of the Service, including infrastructure providers, messaging services, analytics providers, and authentication platforms. These providers are contractually bound to use personal information only as necessary to provide services to us and are required to implement appropriate safeguards to protect such information. TapIn remains responsible for the processing of personal information by its service providers acting on our behalf.

17. Security and Breach Response

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach, we will comply with applicable notification laws, including notifying affected users via email within the timeframe required by applicable law and taking appropriate steps to mitigate the impact.

18. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of eighteen (18), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from an individual under 18, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

19. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Policy at any time. For material changes, we will update the Effective Date and provide notice via email or a prominent in-app notification before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of an updated Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
