Privacy Policy

Bonded App is a community-driven platform operated by Sirikay LLC. Bonded helps people discover circles, attend and host events, chat with other users, participate in marketplace experiences, and manage creator or host activity.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use the Bonded mobile app, web pages, admin dashboard public pages, APIs, and related services.

• Account and contact information, such as name, email address, phone number, password credentials, login provider, verification status, and account status.
• Profile information, such as username, bio, avatar, cover image, interests, connection preferences, date of birth, gender, city, country, and profile completion status.
• Community content, such as circles, posts, events, event highlights, marketplace listings, reviews, tickets, bookings, chat messages, notifications, and user-generated media uploaded through the service.
• Location-related information, such as city, country, address, and approximate or precise coordinates when you provide location data or use location-based discovery features.
• Payment and commerce information, such as bookings, ticket purchases, circle joins, marketplace purchase records, refunds, wallet balances, payout eligibility, subscription status, Apple or Google in-app purchase references, Stripe customer or connected account identifiers, and transaction metadata. We do not intentionally store full payment card numbers.
• Creator verification and payout information, such as creator verification status, fee payment status, Stripe Connect onboarding status, payout eligibility, and related compliance metadata.
• Device, technical, and usage information, such as device token, FCM token, IP address, browser or device metadata, logs, diagnostics, security events, and interactions with our APIs.

• Provide, operate, secure, and improve Bonded App and the dashboard services.
• Create and manage accounts, authenticate users, verify account ownership, reset passwords, and prevent unauthorized access.
• Show profiles, circles, events, marketplace products, bookings, tickets, reviews, notifications, and chat experiences to users.
• Process payments, refunds, subscriptions, creator verification fees, tickets, circle joins, marketplace transactions, wallet records, and host payouts.
• Personalize recommendations, search results, event discovery, circles, location-based experiences, and community features.
• Send service messages, security alerts, verification messages, transactional emails, push notifications, and support communications.
• Moderate content, investigate misuse, enforce our terms, comply with legal obligations, and protect users, creators, hosts, and our platform.

Some information is shared as part of the service. For example, profile details, circle membership, event participation, marketplace listings, posts, reviews, and selected contact or social details may be visible to other users depending on your settings and activity.

• Service providers that help us host infrastructure, store media, send email, send push notifications, process analytics, secure the service, and provide customer support.
• Payment partners such as Stripe, Apple, and Google when needed to process payments, subscriptions, refunds, creator verification, or payouts.
• Other users when you interact with circles, events, chat, marketplace features, reviews, posts, highlights, or public profile features.
• Authorities, courts, regulators, or safety partners when required by law or needed to protect rights, safety, security, and platform integrity.
• A successor or affiliate if Bonded App is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or transfer of business assets.

Bonded uses third-party services for payments and account services, including Stripe for certain card payments and connected account payouts, and Apple or Google for in-app purchases where required by app-store rules. Those providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies.

We may store transaction identifiers, product identifiers, subscription status, purchase history, refund history, payout status, and related metadata so we can provide receipts, support, fraud prevention, account history, and revenue or payout functionality.

Bonded is built around community discovery, circles, and events. If you provide location information, we may use it to help you find relevant communities, events, hosts, travel experiences, or marketplace opportunities. Some event or circle location details may be visible to other users when you create, join, or attend those experiences.

Our web dashboard and public web pages may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies for authentication, security, routing, preferences, diagnostics, and performance. The mobile app may use device identifiers, push tokens, and app storage for similar operational purposes. See our Cookie Policy for more detail.

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, process payments or payouts, and enforce agreements. Retention periods can vary based on the type of data and the reason it is kept.

You may request account deletion through available account deletion flows or by contacting us. Some records may be retained when required for legal, financial, tax, safety, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or platform-integrity purposes.

• You can update certain profile and account information in the app.
• You can manage push notification permissions through your device settings.
• You can manage subscriptions through Apple App Store or Google Play account settings when your subscription was purchased through those stores.
• You can request access, correction, deletion, or other privacy assistance by contacting us, subject to applicable law and identity verification.

Bonded is not intended for children under the age required by applicable law to use social, community, payment, or event services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.

We use technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including authentication controls, encrypted transport, server-side access controls, and monitoring. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so you should use strong passwords and keep account credentials private.

Your information may be processed in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate. Those countries may have data protection laws different from your location. We take steps designed to protect information as described in this policy.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify users through the app, dashboard, website, or other appropriate means. Your continued use of Bonded after an update means the updated policy applies.

Questions or privacy requests can be sent to Sirikay LLC at founder@sirikayllc.com. Please include enough information for us to understand and verify your request.
