Welcome to AUS Sugar Daddy. We understand that privacy is paramount when it comes to lifestyle dating. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website aussugardaddy.com.au. We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of your personal data, ensuring a safe environment for all our members across Australia.

By accessing or using our service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. We adhere to Australian privacy standards and global best practices to ensure your digital footprint is respected and protected.

Information We Collect

To provide you with the best possible matchmaking experience, we collect specific types of information. We believe in transparency, so here is a breakdown of what we gather:

• Personal Identification Information: This includes your username, email address, date of birth, and gender, which are essential for creating your unique profile.
• Profile Data: Information you voluntarily provide to enhance your profile, such as your photos, lifestyle preferences, location (City/State), and a description of your ideal match.
• Usage Data: We collect data on how you interact with our service, including login times, pages visited, and features used. This helps us optimize the site performance and user experience.
• Device Information: We may collect information about the device you use to access our site, including the hardware model, operating system, and browser type, to ensure compatibility and security.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data for specific, legitimate purposes aimed at improving your experience and maintaining the integrity of our community:

Service Provision: To create and manage your account, provide customer support, and facilitate connections between members.

Personalization: To recommend matches that align with your preferences and to customize the content you see on our site.

Communication: To send you important updates, security alerts, and notifications about potential matches or messages (which you can manage in your settings).

Safety and Security: To detect and prevent fraudulent activity, verify accounts, and enforce our terms of service. This is crucial for keeping our community exclusive and safe.

Meeting in Person safely

Taking your connection from online to offline is an exciting step. To ensure a positive experience, please follow these safety protocols:

• Meet in Public: Always choose a public, neutral location for your first few dates, such as a coffee shop, restaurant, or busy park.
• Tell a Friend: Inform a trusted friend or family member of your plans, including who you are meeting, where you are going, and when you expect to return.
• Transportation: Arrange your own transportation to and from the date. Do not rely on your date to pick you up from your home for the first meeting.
• Stay Sober: Keep a clear head. Limit alcohol consumption to ensure you remain fully aware of your surroundings and can make sound decisions.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We value your trust and strictly limit how your information is shared. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Your privacy is not for sale.

We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers: We may employ third-party companies to facilitate our service (e.g., hosting, analytics), but they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose your personal data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your data may be transferred as a business asset. You will be notified before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like most modern websites, we use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and understand how you use our site.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our service effectively.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team. We are dedicated to responding to valid requests promptly.

Security Measures

We employ robust security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include SSL encryption for data transmission, firewalls, and strict access controls for our internal staff. While no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data and continuously update our security protocols.

Our service is strictly for individuals aged 19 and over. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us.
