5. Legal Disclosures & Compliance

LoveLink is committed to complying with applicable data protection regulations, including but not limited to the GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and other regional privacy frameworks. We may disclose your information without prior notice if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to:

7. Data Security & Retention

We implement industry-standard encryption (TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest), access controls, and regular security audits to protect your information. While no system is completely infallible, we treat data security as a top priority.

Data is retained only as long as necessary to provide services, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or comply with legal obligations. Anonymous or aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for research and product improvement.

8. Policy Updates

We may update this policy to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. Material changes will be communicated via in-app notifications and email at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of LoveLink after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
