Privacy is not a policywe follow.

1. Who We Are

InyeonAI ("we," "our," or "us") operates a privacy-first AI dating and connection platform available at inyeonai.com and on Android. We are built around the Korean philosophical concept of inyeon — the belief that meaningful connections are deeper than an algorithm. Your data reflects that same belief: your personal life is yours, not ours to monetise.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only what is necessary to make InyeonAI work for you. This includes:

• Account Information: Your name, email address, phone number, age, and gender when you register
• Profile Information: Photos, biographical details, dating preferences, and any information you choose to share on your profile
• Psychology Assessment Results: Your responses to personality tests such as the Big Five, love languages, and attachment style — used solely to improve your matches
• Mood & Intent Data: Your mood selections and intent settings at the time of matching — used by the AI to find compatible connections
• Location Data: Your approximate location, only if you grant permission, used only for proximity-based matching
• Device Information: Basic device type and operating system version for technical support and app optimisation
• Usage Data: How you interact with the app — features used, time spent — to improve the product. This data is anonymised and never tied to your identity for advertising purposes

3. Your Messages — Stored on Your Device, Not Ours

This is the most important section of this policy. Your chat messages are stored locally on your device, fully encrypted — the same way WhatsApp stores your conversations. Your messages never pass through or live on InyeonAI servers. We cannot read them. We do not have access to them. No employee of InyeonAI can ever view your private conversations.

You can securely back up your chats to Google Drive at any time and restore them on a new device. Your backup is encrypted with your account credentials — only you can access it. If you delete the app or clear your data without a backup, your messages are gone permanently. We recommend backing up regularly if your conversations matter to you.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your data for one purpose: to make InyeonAI work better for you. Specifically:

• To create and manage your profile and account
• To power the AI matching system — matching you based on personality, mood, and intent
• To personalise your experience and improve match quality over time
• To send you important app notifications and updates
• To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and safety violations
• To comply with legal obligations where required

5. When We Share Your Information

We do not use your data to serve you advertisements. We do not build advertising profiles. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• With other users: Only the profile information you choose to make visible — your name, photos, bio, and preferences
• Service providers: Trusted third-party providers who help us operate the app (such as cloud infrastructure and analytics), bound by strict confidentiality agreements
• Legal requirements: When required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of our users or the public
• Child safety reports: Incidents involving CSAE are reported to NCMEC and relevant law enforcement without exception

6. How We Protect Your Data

• All messages are end-to-end encrypted and stored locally on your device
• Account data in transit is protected using industry-standard TLS encryption
• Sensitive data at rest is encrypted using AES-256
• We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Access to user data within our systems is strictly limited and logged
• Google Drive backups are encrypted with your personal credentials

7. Privacy Modes & Controls

InyeonAI gives you active control over your privacy — not just passive promises. These controls are available to every user at no cost:

• Incognito Mode: Your profile is hidden from users you have not matched with
• Read Receipts: You can disable read receipts so others do not know when you have read their messages
• Typing Indicators: You can turn off typing indicators at any time
• Delete for Everyone: Delete any message from both sides of a conversation instantly
• Edit Messages: Edit any message you have sent at any time
• Account Deletion: Permanently delete your account and all associated data from within app settings

8. Your Rights Over Your Data

You have full rights over your personal data at all times:

• Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Correction: Update or correct your personal information at any time within the app
• Deletion: Delete your account and all associated data permanently through app settings
• Portability: Export your data in a readable format upon request
• Objection: Object to how we use your data by contacting us at support@inyeonai.com

9. Data Retention

We retain your account data only for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, your profile, photos, preferences, and personality test results are permanently deleted within 30 days. Your messages are stored on your device and are deleted immediately when you remove the app or clear app data — we hold no copies. Some anonymised, non-identifiable usage data may be retained for product improvement purposes.

10. Children’s Privacy

InyeonAI is strictly for users aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we discover that a minor has created an account, it is immediately deleted. If you believe a minor is using the app, please report it to support@inyeonai.com immediately.

11. Child Safety & Zero Tolerance Policy

InyeonAI maintains an absolute zero-tolerance policy toward Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE) in any form.

• Strict Prohibition: Any CSAE content or behaviour results in immediate permanent ban
• Immediate Removal: All offending content is removed without delay
• Reported to Authorities: All incidents are reported to NCMEC and relevant law enforcement
• Dedicated Reporting: Report safety concerns directly to support@inyeonai.com

12. Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of India. By using InyeonAI, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in this policy under Indian jurisdiction.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through the app or by email. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of InyeonAI after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

14. Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, please reach out to us at support@inyeonai.com. We take every inquiry seriously and will respond within 48 hours.
