This policy explains how Peck uses cookies and similar technologies on peckdating.com, our Help Center and the Peck app, and how you can control them. Peck is run by Zytherion Technologies Private Limited (“Zytherion”, “we”, “us”). For everything else about your personal information, see our Privacy Policy.
1Cookies in short
A cookie is a small file that a website saves in your browser, so it can remember something about your visit. Websites and apps also use similar tools:
Browser storage: information a website keeps in your browser, like a cookie but never sent back to the website on its own.
Pixels and tags: tiny images or bits of code that show when a page or email has been opened.
Tracking links: links that show where a visit came from, such as an ad or a social post.
SDKs: code from other companies built into an app, which can work like cookies.
In this policy, “cookies” covers all of these. Some are ours (first-party) and some belong to our partners (third-party). Some disappear when you close your browser (session) and others stay until they expire or you delete them (persistent).
2The kinds we use
Essential: keep Peck working and secure, for example signing you in, remembering your choices, and spotting fraud and abuse. You can’t turn these off, because Peck can’t work without them.
Analytics: show us how Peck is used, so we can fix problems and make it better. You can turn these off on our website and Help Center. In the app, see Your choices.
Advertising: measure the ads and campaigns that bring people to Peck. You can turn these off on our website and Help Center. In the app, see Your choices.
3On our website and Help Center
Today, peckdating.com uses only essential tools:
Your cookie choice: saved in your browser so we don’t ask you every time.
Where you were on a page: kept only until you close the tab, so going back takes you to the same spot.
The website doesn’t use analytics or advertising cookies today. If we add them, they’ll only run after you say yes, and we’ll update this policy.
Our Help Center (support.peckdating.com) runs on Zendesk, which uses essential cookies to keep it working and secure, for example when you sign in or send us a message. It also uses Google Analytics if you accept analytics cookies.
4In the Peck app
The app uses SDKs to sign you in and keep your account secure. It also uses Google Analytics for Firebase to show us how the app is used, and tools from Meta (the company behind Facebook and Instagram) to measure the ads and campaigns that bring people to Peck. These tools collect device and advertising IDs and app activity. If you sign in with Google, Apple or Facebook, that company may also learn that you use Peck.
The app doesn’t have its own cookie settings. Our Privacy Policy, linked on the sign-up screen, explains these tools. Your phone’s settings can limit ad tracking and reset your advertising ID, but they may not stop all analytics, and essential and security tools keep running.
5Your choices
On our website and Help Center: tap Cookie settings at the bottom of any page to change your choice at any time. Choose Essential only, Accept all, or pick Analytics and Advertising one by one. The Help Center uses Google Analytics only if you accept it. peckdating.com uses only essential tools today, so there these options apply if we add analytics or advertising tools later.
In your browser: you can block or delete cookies in your browser’s settings. If you clear them, we’ll ask for your cookie choice again.
On your phone: you can stop apps from tracking you or reset your advertising ID in your phone’s privacy settings (on iPhone, Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking; on Android, for example Settings → Google → Ads).
Ad industry opt-outs: to turn off interest-based ads from participating companies, visit the Digital Advertising Alliance, AppChoices (for apps) or, in Europe, Your Online Choices. You’ll still see ads, just not ones based on your interests.
Google: install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, or turn off personalized ads in My Ad Center.
Meta: choose how Meta uses your activity from other apps and websites for ads in your Meta ad preferences.
Turning off some cookies may make parts of Peck less personal, but Peck will keep working.
