Privacy Policy

Welcome to Mates Live. Your trust matters to us. This policy explains in simple terms what information we may collect, how we use it, and how we work to keep it safe. We value clarity, respect your rights, and strive to provide a positive experience.

1. Information We May Collect

  • What you provide: For example, when you subscribe, join a discussion, contact us, or use our services, you might share your name, email address, or other details.
  • Automatic info: We may collect non-personal data (such as device type, browser, IP location) and, when permitted, cookies or similar technologies to understand how our site is used.
  • What we do not require: You are never compelled to share information you’re uncomfortable with; basic access does not require giving extensive personal data.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and improve our content: Your feedback and usage help us make the site better.
  • To communicate with you: With your permission, we may send updates, newsletters or messages that you opted in for.
  • To keep things safe and reliable: We use the data to protect against abuse, ensure the site works properly, and maintain a smooth experience for everyone.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and related tools to remember your preferences, show you content based on your interests (if you’ve opted in), and understand how our site is performing. You may choose to manage or disable cookies via your browser settings.

4. Sharing and Disclosure

We respect your privacy. We do not sell your personal information. We may share data in these limited situations:

  • With trusted service providers who assist us (subject to confidentiality).
  • If required by law or to protect the rights, safety or property of Mates Live, our users, or others.
  • In connection with a change in business structure (merger, sale, etc.), with notice to you.

5. Data Retention and Security

We keep your information only as long as is necessary for the purposes described here or to meet legal obligations. We apply security safeguards — like access controls and encryption — to protect your information. While no system is perfect, we strive to keep your data safe.

6. Your Choices and Rights

  • You may update or correct your personal information if it’s inaccurate.
  • If you’ve opted in to communications, you can unsubscribe at any time.
  • You may choose how cookies or tracking are used.
  • If you have questions about the information we hold, please contact us (see Section 9).

7. Children’s Privacy

Our services are general-audience; we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us, and we will take appropriate steps.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect improvements or changes in how we handle information. When we do, we’ll revise the “Effective Date” below and, if changes are significant, provide a prominent notice. Please check back periodically.
