1. Our Commitment to Privacy

At Ember, we understand that the information you share with us is deeply personal. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data with the utmost care and security. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you use our website, application, and services (collectively, the "Services").

By using our Services, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our Services.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and display name. We use this information to identify you, provide our Services, and communicate with you about your account.

Profile Information

You may choose to provide additional profile information such as a profile photo, relationship status, and other details. This information helps personalize your experience and is visible according to your privacy settings.

Quiz Responses and Preferences

Our Services include quizzes about intimacy, relationships, and personal preferences. This may include sensitive information about your sexual preferences, desires, and relationship dynamics. We collect this information to provide compatibility insights and personalized recommendations. You have full control over which responses are shared with your partner.

AI Chat Conversations

When you use our AI chat features, we store your conversation history to provide continuity and improve our Services. These conversations may contain personal information you choose to share.

Usage Data

We automatically collect information about how you interact with our Services, including pages visited, features used, time spent, and device information. This helps us improve our Services and troubleshoot issues.

4. Sensitive Personal Information

Ember collects sensitive personal information related to your intimate preferences, sexual interests, and relationship dynamics. We treat this information with the highest level of care:

5. Partner Sharing and Privacy Controls

Ember allows you to connect with a partner and share compatibility information. You have granular control over what is shared:

  • Default Privacy: All quiz answers are hidden from your partner by default
  • Selective Sharing: You can choose to share individual answers, all answers, or only matching answers
  • Compatibility Scores: Overall compatibility percentages are visible to connected partners
  • Disconnect Anytime: You can disconnect from a partner at any time, which revokes their access to your shared information

We recommend reviewing your privacy settings regularly to ensure they reflect your preferences.
