Privacy Notice

Welcome to 3Fun’s Privacy Notice. Thank you for taking the time to read it.

Please read this Privacy Notice carefully before accessing or using our services. If you have any questions about this Privacy Notice or how we use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details set out below.

What this Privacy Notice covers
This Privacy Notice applies to websites, apps, events and other services that post or link to this Privacy Notice or are operated by 3Fun Limited ("3Fun", "we", "us" or "our"). For simplicity, we refer to all of these as our "services" in this Privacy Notice.

Some services may require their own unique privacy notice. Unless otherwise stated, if a particular service has its own privacy notice, then that notice -- not this Privacy Notice -- applies.

This Privacy Notice sets out how we collect, store, transfer, share and use information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to a person ("personal information") when you sign up to, access and use the services.

This Privacy Notice does not cover our use of information that is not "personal information" or a similarly defined term under applicable law. This means that it does not cover our use of aggregated information.

Where applicable law permits, this Privacy Notice also does not cover deidentified information, meaning information that is maintained in a form that is not reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to an individual (please note that this would not apply to personal information collected from you if you are in the UK, EEA or Switzerland).

This Privacy Notice also does not cover or address personal information and privacy practices relating to 3Fun job applicants, employees or other personnel.

Part 1 of this Privacy Notice sets out:
1. Information we collect and how we use it;
2. Cookies and other similar data collection technologies;
3. How we share information;

5. Information about your rights;
6. Where we store your information;
7. How long we retain your information;
8. Children's privacy;

Information we collect and how we use it We collect information that you provide to us when you set up your profile on our services, sign up for VIP access, and use our services to interact with other users. We also collect certain information automatically about how you use our services and your device. Some of the information we collect is classed as "sensitive" or "special category" personal information, such as your sexual orientation and information about your sex life. You do not have to provide this information to use our services,However, not providing this information may impair your ability to find friends or matches. If you do provide this information, you can remove this information at any time using the applicable functionalities of our services (for more information, see the “Control over your information” section below).

If you contact our customer care team, we will collect the information you give us during the interaction. Sometimes, we monitor or record these interactions for training purposes and to ensure a high quality of service.

When you participate in surveys or focus groups, you give us your insights into our products and services, responses to our questions and testimonials.

When you choose to participate in our promotions, events or contests, we collect the information that you use to register or enter.

How we use your personal information

2. Photo verification

If you choose to verify your profile photo, we will review your verification photo and compare it to the other photos you submit (including your profile photo), to help ensure that you are who you say you are. We do not add the verification photos to your profile.

With your consent, we will use facial recognition AI technology to compare your verification photo against the photos you upload. We use our own facial recognition AI technology to do this, as well as technology provided by Amazon Web Services, Inc. Neither we nor Amazon Web Services retain your biometric template after completing the photo verification process.

We will also retain the biometric template of your face that we create to verify any other photos that you upload in the future.

If you do not agree to the use of facial recognition technology to verify your photos, we will review your photos manually. Please note that this process will take longer.

You can withdraw your consent to our use of biometric templates to verify your photos at any time by updating your settings on our services. You can do this through the "Settings" feature within your profile page on the services.

3. Stories

As part of our services, we offer a feature that allows you to share stories about your use of the services, the people you have met and the relationships you have made (the "Stories Feature"). If you submit a story through the Stories Feature, we will collect:

• any personal information that you include in your story, including any text or images that you submit through the Stories Feature;
• your location;
• your contact details (such as your email address) and the contact details of anyone featured in the story.

The content of your story may be used to promote us and our services in online and printed publications, presentations, promotional materials, online advertising, our website, social media and other media we use to promote us and our services.

When you submit a story to us, we will use the contact details provided to:

• communicate with you about your story;
• verify the authenticity of the story you submit, including by confirming that you and anyone referred to or featured in the story have a verified account with us;
• contact anyone referred to or featured in the story to confirm whether they agree to the publication of the story and any associated images.

We may also use your location to identify the country and state or province you are from when we publish your story.

4. Cookies and other similar data collection technologies

Like most providers of online services, we use cookies and similar technologies to provide, secure and improve our services, including by remembering your preferences, recognizing you when you visit our services, and identifying where you heard about our services. To accomplish these purposes, we also may link information from cookies with other personal information we hold about you.

There are several cookie management options available to you. Please note that changes you make to your cookie preferences may make browsing our website a less satisfying experience. In some cases, you may even find yourself unable to use all or part of our services.

5. How we share information

We may share your personal information as follows:

With other users

You share information with other users when you voluntarily disclose information on the services (including your public profile). Please be careful with your information and make sure that the content you share is stuff that you’re comfortable being viewable publicly on the services since neither you nor we can control what others do with your information once you share it.

For more information on the choices you have on the visibility of select information in your profile, please see the “Control over your information” section below.

With our group companies

We may share your personal information with other companies owned or controlled by 3Fun, and other companies owned by or under common ownership as 3Fun (i.e., our affiliates and subsidiaries).

With our service providers and third-party providers

We use third parties to help us operate and improve our services. These third parties assist us with various tasks, including data hosting and maintenance, analytics, customer care, and security operations.

With our affiliates who sign up to our affiliate program

We may disclose data about you with our affiliates. For instance, where affiliates who have signed up to our affiliate program promote our services on their websites and platforms, we may share information about you with the affiliate's website that referred you to our services. This enables us to pay these affiliates the commission they are owed under our affiliate program.

For corporate transactions

We may transfer your information if we are involved, whether in whole or in part, in a merger, sale, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy or other change of ownership or control.

When required by law

We may disclose your information if reasonably necessary: (i) to comply with a legal process, such as a court order, subpoena or search warrant, government / law enforcement investigation or other legal requirements; (ii) to assist in the prevention or detection of crime (subject in each case to applicable law); or (iii) to protect the safety of any person.

To enforce legal rights

We may also share information: (i) if disclosure would mitigate our liability in an actual or threatened lawsuit; (ii) as necessary to protect our legal rights and legal rights of our users, business partners or other interested parties; (iii) to enforce our agreements with you; and (iv) to investigate, prevent, or take other actions regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing.

With your consent or at your request

We may ask for your consent to share your information with third parties. In any such case, we will make it clear why we want to share the information.

6. Control over your information 7. Information about your rights

If you would like to exercise one of these rights, please contact us by email to support@go3Fun.co.

For your protection and the protection of all of our users, we may ask you to provide proof of identity before we can answer the above requests.

Keep in mind, we may reject requests for certain reasons, including if the request is unlawful or if it may infringe on trade secrets or intellectual property or the privacy of another user. If you wish to receive information relating to another user, such as a copy of any messages you received from him or her through our service, the other user will have to contact our Privacy Officer to provide their written consent before the information is released.

8. Where we store your personal information

Your personal information will primarily be processed by us in the Seychelles and our service providers in the United States of America.

9. How long we retain your information

We will usually store the personal information we collect about you for no longer than necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, and in accordance with our legitimate business interests and applicable law. However, if necessary, we may retain personal data for longer periods of time, until set retention periods and deadlines expire, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, tax and accounting requirements set by a legislature, regulator or other government authority.

We will normally keep your personal information for as long as you are an active user of our services. If you delete your account, your profile will no longer be visible to others, but we will retain your personal information for one month or (if you have subscribed as a VIP user) three months, after which it will be deleted or anonymized.

We will also delete or anonymize your personal information if you are inactive for a continuous period of two years.

We may, however, keep your personal information for longer if:

• we must keep it to comply with applicable law (for instance, some "traffic data" is kept for one year to comply with statutory data retention obligations);
• we must keep it to evidence our compliance with applicable law (for instance, records of consents to our Terms, Privacy Notice and other similar consents are kept for five years);
• here is an outstanding issue, claim or dispute requiring us to keep the relevant information until it is resolved; or
• the information must be kept for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention and enhancing users' safety and security. For example, information may need to be kept to prevent a user who was banned for unsafe behavior or security incidents from opening a new account.

10. Children's Privacy

Our services are restricted to users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not permit users under the age of 18 on our platform and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you suspect that a user is under the age of 18, please use the reporting mechanism available through the service. If we learn that any personal information we collect has been provided by an individual under the age of 18, we will promptly delete that personal information.

11. Privacy Notice Changes

This Notice may change over time. When we make changes to this Privacy Notice, we will change the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Privacy Notice. If we make material changes to this Privacy Notice, we will notify you by email to your registered email address, by prominently posting on this website or our online services or through other appropriate communication channels.

However, we may ask you to provide additional personal information so that we can properly identify you in our dataset and to track compliance with your opt out request. We will only use personal information provided in an opt out request to review and comply with the request.
