Privacy Policy

HUMANS is operated by Marathon Systema LLC (Wyoming, United States). For privacy questions or requests, contact privacy@humansconnections.com or use our contact page. Data protection officer: [DPO-CONTACT].

• Account: email, first and last name, date of birth. To create and secure your account (contract).
• Conversation with the AI: the messages you send while building your profile. To build your profile and for safety (consent).
• Profile: the structured psychological understanding the AI builds from your conversation, including sensitive inferences (see below). For matching (consent).
• Photos: the pictures you upload. To represent you to a proposed match (consent).
• Preferences: age range, distance, orientation you are looking for, languages, notifications. To run the service (contract).
• Match decisions: whether you accepted or declined. To run and improve matching (legitimate interest).
• Safety signals: reports, abuse detection, crisis referrals (references only), audit records. For safety (legitimate interest / legal duty).
• Approximate location: a coarse area you choose. For distance filtering (consent). We do not collect precise GPS.

To find who truly fits you, the conversation may touch on sensitive topics: your faith, your sexual orientation, your sexual life, and emotional patterns the AI infers. We treat these as sensitive and process them only with your separate, explicit opt-in, which you can withdraw anytime in Settings under Privacy choices. You can always decline to answer any question without losing the service, and you can remove anything from your profile at any time.

Your photos are never public. We store them in a private bucket and serve them through short-lived signed URLs; location metadata is stripped. A photo is shown only to a person we propose you to, together with your first name, from the moment the proposal appears, which happens before either of you accepts. Your last name and contact details are never shown, and chat opens only after you both say yes.

Your conversation and profile are processed by AI, and an automated system decides which proposals you see. You have the right to an explanation and to a human review. Full detail is on our AI transparency page.

Your data is stored and processed on servers in the United States by the providers on our subprocessors page. If you live outside the US, this is an international transfer, and we rely on your explicit consent (and standard contractual clauses where applicable).

We keep your data while your account is active. When you delete your account, your profile, conversation transcripts, photos, embeddings, and matching data are deleted, and your account is removed. Messages you sent to a match are anonymized (the body is replaced with a deletion notice) so the other person’s history stays coherent. Consent and safety records may be retained in anonymized form as evidence where the law requires it.

• Access / export: download everything from Settings, or ask us.
• Rectification: your profile updates as you keep talking with the AI; you can also ask us.
• Deletion: in the app (Settings) or without the app at humansconnections.com/delete-account.
• Objection / human review of automated decisions: see AI transparency.
• Withdraw consent: Settings under Privacy choices, anytime.
• To exercise any right without an account, use our contact page. We respond within 5 business days.

All data is transmitted over TLS. Row-level security is enabled on every table, the API authorizes every request in a service layer, photos use signed URLs, and access is recorded in an audit log. We maintain an incident response process. No system is perfectly secure, but we design for defense in depth.

We do not show ads, do not track you across other apps, and do not sell or share your personal information for advertising. We honor Global Privacy Control signals where they apply.

HUMANS is for adults 18 and over. We apply age assurance and act on any signal that a user is under 18 (see our safety page). We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18; if we learn we have, we delete it.

We will notify you of material changes in the app before they take effect. This policy is versioned by its “last updated” date.
