Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
1. Data controller
ilove.productions processes your data to provide the FindYourSurfBuddy service. Contact: contact@ilove.productions.
2. Data collected
Account (name, email — via Google, Apple or email/password), the profile you fill in (photos, gender, date of birth, sport, level, bio, interests, spots), your feed posts (photos and videos), your home location (only to suggest nearby spots, never shown to others), real-time location only if you enable “Around me” (kept at most one hour, in server memory, never in the database), joined spots, sessions, listings, messages and reports, your device's push notification token (only to deliver notifications, never for advertising tracking), verification documents for coaches (diplomas, licences), and payment data processed by Stripe (we store no card data).
3. Uses
Your data is used exclusively to run the service: spot feed, communities and sessions, showing your profile to other users, listings, messaging, lesson bookings, subscription and support management, push notifications (messages, sessions, weather/safety alerts, shop promotions — all can be turned off in your profile and settings), moderation and safety. No data sales, no targeted advertising.
4. Visibility
Visible to other users: your profile first/last name, your age, your photos, your sport, your level, your bio, your interests, and your spots. Your email is shared only with a host or a guest when you are connected (subscribers). Your exact location is never public: "Around me" expires after one hour and your base location remains private.
5. Retention periods
Profile, posts, listings and messages: until you delete your account. “Around me” location: 1 hour at most. Billing data: legal accounting retention. When your account is deleted, your profile, photos, posts, listings, conversations, spot messages, verification documents and notification tokens are permanently removed and your account is anonymized.
6. Your rights
In accordance with the GDPR, you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability, and objection. Most are exercised directly in the app (editing your profile, deleting your account) or by writing to contact@ilove.productions. You can lodge a complaint with the CNIL in the event of a dispute.
7. Subprocessors
Stripe (payments), Google and Apple (authentication), Expo and Apple/Google notification services (push delivery), infrastructure hosting and media storage by our cloud providers. Each only accesses the data strictly necessary for its role.
