Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

RelationShips is a social-discovery platform that helps cruise passengers find and connect with other passengers on the same sailing. The App is provided by Tate Enterprises, LLC (“Tate Enterprises,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy applies to the RelationShips mobile application and website (collectively, the “App”).

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide:

• Profile details — first name, age, gender, bio, interests, and preferences.
• Cruise information — cruise line, ship, sailing and return dates, destination, cabin type, and booking confirmation number.
• Profile photo, which is stored in private storage and only shown to matched users.
• Messages you send to other users through the App’s chat feature.
• Account credentials — email address and password (stored securely, never displayed).

Information we collect automatically:

• Location data — only when you opt in to onboard location sharing; we store your latitude and longitude temporarily so matches can see your approximate distance.
• Usage data — how you interact with the App, including profiles viewed, likes, matches, and pages visited.
• Device information — device type, operating system, and app version.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage your account and display your profile to other passengers.
• To match you with other users on the same sailing based on shared interests and itinerary.
• To enable real-time chat and onboard location sharing with your matches.
• To send you notifications about new matches, messages, and App updates.
• To process subscription payments and manage your Full Access plan.
• To analyze and improve the App, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only as follows:

• With other users: Your first name, age, photo, bio, interests, and cruise details are visible to other passengers. Your exact location is never shared — only approximate distance to matches who have also opted in to location sharing.
• With service providers: Third-party vendors that help us operate the App, such as payment processing (Base44 Payments / Wix), cloud storage, and analytics. These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations.
• For legal compliance: If required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Tate Enterprises, our users, or others.

5. Location Data

Onboard location sharing is entirely optional. You must explicitly opt in to share your location, and you can stop sharing at any time. When you stop, we clear your stored coordinates. We never reveal your exact coordinates to other users — only an approximate distance. Location data is used solely to help you find nearby matches on your ship.

6. Data Retention

We retain your profile, messages, and activity data for as long as your account is active. You may delete your account at any time from the Profile page, which permanently removes your profile, photo, matches, messages, itineraries, and activities. Certain data may be retained in backups for a limited period or as required by law.

7. Data Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encrypted data transmission, private file storage for photos, and server-side validation for sensitive operations. However, no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to opt out of certain data processing. You can exercise these rights by deleting your account in the App or contacting us through the Contact page. If you are a resident of California, the European Union, or the United Kingdom, additional rights may apply under applicable privacy laws.

9. Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Third-Party Links

The App may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version in the App with a new “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the App after any change constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
