Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 24, 2026
Touch ("we", "us", "our") operates the Touch mobile application (the "App"), a marketplace for finding dance practice partners and booking dance lessons. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you register, we collect your email address, password (stored hashed), username, and display name. Registration requires a valid invite code.
Profile Information
To help you find dance partners, you provide your city, dance styles, experience level, dance role (lead, follow, or both), preferred language, bio, profile photo, and additional photos or videos of your dancing. All profile fields are optional except those marked as required during onboarding.
Booking and Slot Data
When you post an availability slot or book another user's slot, we store the slot details (date, time, type, price, location, notes) and the booking history between you and other users.
Chat Messages
Messages you send to other users through the in-app chat are stored to enable conversation history. We do not read or analyze message contents.
Device and Push Tokens
If you enable push notifications, we store a device push token provided by Apple (APNs) or Google (FCM) so we can deliver notifications about bookings and messages.
Diagnostic Logs
To diagnose crashes and connectivity problems, the App records limited technical diagnostic events (app lifecycle stages, network outcomes, error messages, a random device identifier, and platform). These logs are stripped of personal identifiers such as email addresses and authentication tokens before being stored, are used only for debugging and reliability, are never sold or used for advertising, and are deleted on a rolling basis. We do not use third-party advertising or analytics trackers and do not collect an advertising identifier (IDFA/AAID).
2. How We Use Your Information
- To let you create and maintain a dance partner profile
- To show your profile and slots to other users searching for partners
- To process bookings and notify both parties when slots are booked, confirmed, or cancelled
- To enable real-time chat between matched partners
- To deliver push notifications (only with your permission)
- To enforce our Terms of Service and prevent abuse
3. Who Can See Your Information
Your profile (username, display name, photo, dance styles, experience, city, bio) is visible to other registered Touch users. Your email and private chat messages are visible only to you and your direct conversation partners. We never sell your data to third parties.
4. Data Storage and Service Providers
We use Supabase (supabase.com) as our backend — all data is stored on Supabase's managed PostgreSQL database and storage buckets. We also rely on the following service providers strictly to operate the App:
- Vercel — content delivery / proxy for images and API requests.
- Expo push service, Apple (APNs) and Google (FCM) — delivering push notifications.
- Resend — sending transactional emails (verification and password-reset codes).
- GeoNames — city name lookup during profile setup.
These providers process data only to provide their service to us and do not receive your data for their own purposes. Data in transit is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS; data at rest is encrypted by our infrastructure providers. We never sell your data.
5. Your Rights
- Access: You can view all your profile data inside the App.
- Correction: You can edit your profile data at any time.
- Deletion: You can delete your account and all associated data from within the App by going to your profile and tapping "Delete Account". Deletion is immediate and irreversible.
- Export: If you want a copy of your data before deletion, contact us at the email below and we will provide it.
6. Children's Privacy
Touch is not intended for users under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16. If you believe a child has registered, please contact us and we will delete the account.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the App evolves. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes will be announced in the App.
