This notice is for people who live in California. It explains the personal information Peck collects about you and the rights you have under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the “CCPA”). Peck is run by Zytherion Technologies Private Limited (“Zytherion”, “we”, “us”). This notice adds to our Privacy Policy.
1What we collect
Here’s what we have collected about members in the last 12 months, grouped the way the CCPA groups it. How much of it we have about you depends on what you add and how you use Peck.
Identifiers: your name, email address, phone number, Peck ID, device and advertising IDs, and IP address. From you, your device, and Google, Apple or Facebook if you sign in with them.
Personal characteristics: your age and gender, and anything else you choose to add, like your beliefs or pronouns. From you.
Purchases: your Peck Pass subscription and its history. From you and the App Store or Google Play. We never see your card details.
App and website activity: how you use Peck, such as likes, skips, matches and the features you use, plus technical logs and crash reports. From your device.
Location: your device’s location, so we can show you people nearby. From your device, with your permission.
Photos: the photos and Hoot avatar on your profile. From you.
Work and education: your job, company, education and university, if you add them. From you.
Inferences: the matches and suggestions we make from your preferences, such as age, gender and distance. Created by us.
Messages: your chats with other members and your messages to our team. From you.
We may also receive information from other members, such as when they report you, and from advertising partners, such as whether an ad led someone to install Peck, and check public sources, such as sex offender registries, to help keep members safe.
We use this information to run Peck, suggest people to you, keep Peck safe, help you when you contact us (and train our support assistant), improve Peck, stay in touch, measure our ads and meet our legal obligations. Our Privacy Policy explains each use in more detail.
2Sensitive personal information
Some of this is “sensitive personal information” under the CCPA: your precise location, the contents of your messages, your beliefs if you add them, and details that may reveal your sexual orientation, such as who you want to see. We use it only to provide Peck, including suggesting matches from your preferences, and keep it safe, not to work out other sensitive things about you. Because we use it only for these purposes, the CCPA’s right to limit its use doesn’t apply.
4No selling or sharing
We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, as the CCPA defines those terms. Because we don’t do either, there’s nothing you need to opt out of. Peck is only for people aged 18 and over, and we don’t knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16.
5How long we keep it
We keep your account and its information until you delete it. When you delete your account, your profile disappears from Peck straight away and your messages are no longer visible to other members. We keep your information for one year afterwards. If an account is banned, we keep it for two years, and keep the details needed to stop that person rejoining for as long as the ban lasts. We keep purchase records for as long as tax and accounting law requires, and some basic information for as long as we need it for legal purposes. Copies may stay in our backups for a limited time.
6Your rights
If you live in California, you can ask us to:
tell you what personal information we’ve collected about you, where it came from, why we use it and who we’ve shared it with, and give you a copy
correct personal information that’s wrong
delete your personal information
We won’t treat you differently for using these rights. You can also edit most of your profile yourself (profile icon → My Profile → Edit Profile) or delete your account (profile icon → Settings → Delete Profile). Your name, age and gender can’t be changed in the app, so to correct them, contact us.
7How to make a request
Email privacy@peckdating.com with the subject “California privacy request”, or message our team. Include your Peck ID (My Profile → Show Hoot Profile View), or the email or phone number you signed up with. We’ll confirm it’s really you before we act on it, and reply as soon as we can, within the time the law allows.
Someone else can make a request for you as your authorized agent. We’ll ask for proof that you gave them permission, and we may also need to confirm your identity with you directly.
