3. How We Disclose Information

To Other Members and Hosts

Limited profile details, such as name, profile photo, and short biography, may be visible to other approved members within event-related contexts. Event hosts may view RSVP and attendance details for events they manage.

To Service Providers

We engage trusted third-party service providers to perform services such as hosting, analytics, email delivery, and, in the future, payment processing. These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually obligated to safeguard it.

For Legal and Safety Purposes

We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or governmental request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, property, or the integrity of the Service.

In Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable laws.

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

4. Your Rights and Choices

• Communications Preferences: You may opt out of non-essential emails or push notifications in your account settings or by following unsubscribe instructions.

We retain information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. After account deletion, certain information may be retained for up to ninety (90) days for security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance, unless a longer period is required by law.

6. Security

We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect personal information. However, no system is completely secure. Members are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and promptly notifying us of any suspected unauthorized use.

We process and store information in the United States and may transfer it to other jurisdictions where we or our service providers operate. When we transfer information internationally, we implement appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable laws.

9. Links and External Services

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. BONND is not responsible for the content or practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before engaging with them.

10. Governing Law and Venue

This Privacy Policy and any disputes arising under it are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to the arbitration clause in the Terms & Conditions, the state and federal courts located in Delaware will have exclusive jurisdiction.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you via the App or email. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
