Privacy Policy for Nuance

Effective Date: November 4, 2025

Owned and operated by: Taarazu LLC, registered in the State of New York, USA

Welcome to Nuance! We understand that privacy matters deeply when you're looking for genuine connections. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal data.

We've worked hard to make this policy clear and straightforward—we actually want you to read it!

This Privacy Policy applies from November 4, 2025.

1. Who We Are

The company responsible for your data ("data controller") is:

Taarazu LLC
160 West 66th Street
New York, NY 10023
United States
Email: privacy@nuancers.com

2. Where This Privacy Policy Applies

This Privacy Policy applies to the Nuance mobile application (iOS and Android), our website at http://www.nuancers.com, and any other services we operate under the Nuance brand. Whether you're building your profile, viewing matches, or chatting with connections, this Policy covers your experience.

3. Data We Collect

To help you form meaningful connections, we need to collect certain information about you. Here's what we collect and how we get it:

Data You Provide to Us

Account Data

When you create an account, you provide your phone number or email address, and optionally your name. You may also sign up using Apple or Google, in which case we receive basic information from those services.

Profile Data

To complete your profile, you share details like your full name, preferred name, gender, gender interest, date of birth, height, body type, location (current city, coordinates), income range (optional), and profile photos. Some of this data may be considered sensitive in certain jurisdictions, such as information about sexual orientation. By providing this data, you consent to us using it as described in this Privacy Policy.

Questionnaire Responses

Nuance uses a detailed questionnaire system to understand your personality, values, and lifestyle. This includes responses about your education level, professional role, employer name, work hours, leisure activities, dietary preferences, alcohol consumption habits, stance on substances, current relationship status, whether you have children, living situation, languages spoken, political leanings, faith or spiritual beliefs, openness to parenting, and places that have shaped your life.

Matching Preferences

You set preferences for the type of people you'd like to meet, such as age range, height range, dating radius, gender identity preferences, sexual orientation preferences, and body type preferences.

Content

When you use our service, you may post photos, videos, audio messages, text, and other types of content in your profile or when chatting with matches.

Purchase Data

If you purchase premium features or coins, we collect transaction details (what you purchased, date, and price). Payment processing is handled through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and we don't directly store your payment card details.

Communications with Us

When you contact customer support, report another user, or provide feedback, we collect the information you share with us.

Third-Party Data

If you choose to share information about other people (for example, by reporting a user or referring a friend), we process that data on your behalf to fulfill your request.

Data We Automatically Collect

Usage Data

We collect information about how you use Nuance, including when you log in, features you use, actions you take (like viewing or passing on matches, saving matches, sending messages), and how you interact with other members.

Device Data

We collect information from and about the device(s) you use to access Nuance, including IP address, device ID and type, app settings, mobile carrier, operating system and version, browser type, crash logs, and advertising identifiers.

Location Data

With your permission, we collect your precise geolocation (latitude and longitude) from your device. This helps us show you matches in your area and improve your experience. If you decline permission, location-based features may not be available.

Session Data

We collect session information, including IP address and user agent (browser/device information), to maintain security and provide our service.

Data with Your Permission

Location Services

If you grant permission, we access your device location through GPS and other location services provided by your operating system.

Photo Library

If you grant permission, we allow you to upload photos from your device's photo library to your Nuance profile.

Camera

If you grant permission, you can take photos directly within the app to add to your profile.

Notifications

If you grant permission, we send you push notifications about new matches, messages, and other activity.

Future Data Collection

We may implement additional data collection in the future to improve your experience:

Analytics and Event Tracking

We plan to implement event tracking (such as through Facebook/Meta SDK) to better understand how you use our service, which features are most valuable, and how to improve your experience. This may include tracking actions like profile views, match interactions, feature usage, and in-app events. We will update this Privacy Policy before implementing any new tracking, and you'll have the option to manage these preferences.
