This Privacy Policy explains how Silk Lifestyle, LLC ("Silk," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use the Silk Lifestyle mobile application, websites (including silklifestyle.app and silklifestyle.com), SMS/text programs, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
Because Silk supports adult social experiences — including discovery/matching, messaging, Silk Circle partner linking, and event participation — some information you choose to provide may be sensitive in nature. By using the Services, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Adults Only (18+) and 21+ Events
- You must be 18 years or older to use the Services.
- Certain events may be restricted to 21+ and will be clearly marked.
- We do not knowingly collect information from minors.
- If we learn that we have collected personal information from a minor, we will delete it promptly. Contact support@silklifestyle.com if you believe a minor has used the Services.
3. Information We Collect
A. Information you provide
We collect information you choose to provide when registering, creating a profile, messaging, contacting support, attending events, or interacting with our websites.
Account & membership
- Email address, phone number, username, and password (stored hashed).
- Membership tier, preferences, and account settings.
- Support communications and feedback.
Profile & matching
- Profile photos, bio, and interests.
- Discovery and lifestyle preferences, including orientation and relationship data you choose to share.
- Partner or couple linking data when you use Silk Circle (if enabled).
Events & ticketing
- Events you create, follow, RSVP to, or attend.
- Ticket purchases, QR check-in status, and refunds.
- Information shared with event organizers as needed for attendance.
Messages
- Messages, images, voice notes, and attachments you send or receive.
- Message metadata (timestamps, delivery status).
- We do not record voice or video calls by default. Call media may be processed by our real-time communications providers solely to deliver the call.
Website interactions
- When you leave comments or submit forms on our websites, we may collect the information shown in the form, your IP address, and browser user-agent string.
- If you upload images to a website, avoid embedding location data (EXIF GPS) unless you intend to share it.
B. Information collected automatically
- Location (while using the app): precise or coarse GPS (with your permission) for distance, discovery, and Near Me. We do not use continuous background location tracking. You can manage location permissions in your device settings.
- Approximate location: may be inferred from IP address for security and regional features.
- Bluetooth: used only to connect audio accessories during calls — not for proximity or tracking.
- Device: push/notification tokens, app version, platform, hashed device identifiers, and crash/diagnostic data.
- Usage: feature interactions, in-app search, and product analytics events.
C. Payments
Subscription and purchase metadata is processed by Apple, Google, and/or Stripe (for example, paid event tickets). Silk does not store full payment card numbers. Wallet options such as Apple Pay or Google Pay may be offered by those processors where available.
D. Identity verification
When identity verification is enabled, third-party providers (for example, Footprint) may verify age and identity. ID images are typically stored by the verification provider. Silk generally retains verification status and related timestamps, not full ID documents.
E. SMS / text messaging
If you subscribe to Silk Lifestyle text notifications, we collect the phone number and related contact details you provide. We use this information for transactional messages (such as account or event updates) and, where you have opted in, promotional messaging. Consent to receive marketing texts is not a condition of purchase. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
- Login / preference cookies: may be set when you use website features so we can remember settings. Durations vary by cookie.
- Editing / session cookies: may be used for short-lived website functionality and generally contain limited personal data.
- Third-party embeds: embedded content (videos, maps, or similar) from other sites may behave as if you visited those sites directly and may collect data according to their own policies.
5. How We Use Information
- Operate and maintain accounts, matching, messaging, and events.
- Process subscriptions, ticket purchases, and refunds.
- Verify identity (when enabled), prevent fraud, enforce community rules, and support safety/moderation.
- Personalize content and improve features.
- Provide support and service communications (including email and SMS where permitted).
- Analytics, performance measurement, and product improvement where permitted by law and your settings.
- Legal compliance and security protection.
6. Sensitive Data
Lifestyle, dating, orientation, and relationship preferences may constitute sensitive personal data under applicable law. We process this data based on your explicit consent, your account settings, and as needed to provide the features you choose to use. You can limit what you share through profile and privacy controls.
7. AI and Automated Processing
Silk may use automated systems (including SilkSense matching and ranking) to recommend compatible profiles, detect abuse, and improve discovery. We do not use AI for decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you without human involvement where required by law.
8. Information Sharing
- Other users: based on your visibility and privacy settings (for example, profile information visible to members).
- Event organizers: attendee information necessary for ticketing, check-in, and hosting their events.
- Service providers: hosting, messaging, payments, analytics, crash reporting, communications, and identity verification providers under contractual obligations.
- Advertising / measurement: we do not sell personal information for third-party advertising. Limited measurement or attribution tools may be used as described in our disclosures.
- Legal, safety, or business transfers: when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer.
We do not share SMS opt-in data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

11. Retention & Security
We retain data as needed to provide the Services, comply with law, and protect safety and security. Website comments and related metadata may be retained to recognize follow-up comments. Registered website profile information remains available for you to review or update while your account is active.
We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS). No system is completely secure. You use the Services at your own risk regarding residual security risks.
12. International Transfers
Silk is U.S.-based. Your information may be processed in the United States and other countries where our providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.
