Privacy Policy - elvori | Data Protection

1. Introduction

This elvori privacy policy explains what personal data elvori collects, how it is used, who it may be shared with, and the choices and rights available to you as a user of the elvori online dating platform (the "Service"). This document governs the website located at libertydefense.us and any related features operated under the elvori brand ("elvori," "we," "us" or "our").

By creating an account, browsing profiles, or otherwise using elvori, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy and agree to the collection and use of information as described here. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, you should discontinue use of the Service. This policy references general data-protection concepts - including the ideas of lawful basis, consent, and the right to be informed that appear in European data-protection frameworks such as the General Data Protection Regulation - purely as regulatory context to help explain terminology used throughout this document. Referencing these concepts is not a representation, warranty, or claim that elvori has undergone any specific certification, audit, or formal compliance assessment under any particular law or jurisdiction.

This policy should be read alongside the elvori Terms & Conditions, which govern your use of the Service more broadly. Where this policy and the Terms & Conditions conflict on a matter of data handling, this Privacy Policy controls.

2. Information We Collect

elvori collects personal data in a layered way: some of it is information you type in directly, some of it is generated automatically as you use the Service, and a small amount is collected to verify that profiles are genuine. "Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual, a concept drawn from general data-protection terminology used throughout this policy.

Information you provide directly

Account registration data: email address, password, date of birth used for age verification, and a display name.
Profile and preference data: photos, a short biography, interests, the age range and distance preferences you set, and the gender or orientation preferences you select.
Mini-quiz responses: answers to the short on-site filter quiz, such as what kind of connection you are looking for and how soon you would like to meet someone.
Communications content: messages, likes, and chat activity exchanged with other members through the Service, plus any correspondence you send to our support mailbox.

Information collected automatically

Device and log data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, pages viewed, and timestamps of activity.
Approximate location data: a coarse location derived from your IP address or, where you grant permission, your device's location services, used to show you nearby members and expressed to other users only as a distance range rather than an exact point.
Usage and interaction data: which profiles you view, like, or skip, and how you navigate the carousel, quiz, and other interface elements, used to refine what is shown to you.

We do not knowingly collect government identification numbers, financial account details beyond what a payment processor requires for an optional paid feature, or sensitive categories of data such as health or biometric data, except for the verification selfie described in the Data Sharing, Security section, which is used solely for photo-matching purposes.

3. How We Use Your Data

elvori uses the personal data described above for a defined set of purposes, each tied to providing, protecting, or improving the Service. We do not use your data for purposes unrelated to operating a dating platform without first notifying you.

Providing matching and discovery: sorting and presenting profiles near you based on distance, recent activity, and the preferences and quiz answers you supply.
Verification and fraud prevention: comparing a verification selfie against uploaded profile photos to confirm a profile is operated by a real person and to apply the photo-verified badge.
Safety and moderation: reviewing reported accounts or messages, detecting abusive or automated behavior, and enforcing the Terms & Conditions.
Service communications: sending account-related notices, security alerts, and responses to support requests.
Analytics and service improvement: understanding aggregate usage patterns to refine features such as the quiz funnel, comparison content, and carousel performance.

Each of these purposes relies on a lawful basis appropriate to the activity, such as your consent, the necessity of processing to perform our agreement with you (providing the Service you signed up for), or our legitimate interest in keeping the platform safe and functional. Where a purpose depends specifically on your consent, such as certain cookie categories described below, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

elvori does not operate a separate cookie policy page; this section serves as the complete disclosure of how cookies and similar tracking technologies are used across the Service. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device that allows a website to recognize your browser between visits.

Strictly necessary cookies: Required for core functionality such as keeping you signed in, remembering your cookie consent choice, and securing your session. These cannot be disabled without affecting the Service's basic operation.
Functional cookies: Remember preferences such as quiz answers already given or display settings, so you are not asked to repeat the same choices on return visits.
Analytics cookies: Help us understand, in aggregate, how visitors move through the site, which sections are used, and where people drop off, so we can improve the experience.
Advertising cookies: Used, where applicable, to measure the performance of campaigns that brought you to elvori and to avoid showing you repetitive promotional content.

When you first visit elvori, a consent banner asks you to accept the use of non-essential cookie categories. Your choice is recorded locally in your browser so the banner does not reappear on every visit. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing your browser's stored site data for libertydefense.us, which will cause the consent banner to reappear, or by adjusting cookie settings directly within your browser preferences. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and will alert you when a cookie is being set.

If you refuse non-essential cookies, elvori will still function for core browsing and messaging, but certain conveniences - such as remembering quiz progress or tailoring recommendations - may not work as intended. Refusing strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Service from operating correctly, including maintaining your sign-in session.

5. Data Sharing, Third Parties & Security

elvori does not sell your personal data to third parties for their independent marketing purposes. We do share limited categories of data with the following types of recipients, each only to the extent necessary to operate the Service:

Service providers: hosting and infrastructure providers, email delivery vendors, and payment processors for members who choose an optional paid feature.
Moderation and safety tools: systems used to detect fraudulent accounts, spam, or abusive content, which may process profile and message metadata.
Legal and compliance recipients: law enforcement or regulatory authorities, but only where elvori reasonably believes disclosure is required by applicable law, a valid legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of elvori, its members, or others.
Business transfers: a successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to that entity continuing to honor the commitments in this policy.

On the security side, elvori applies encryption in transit for data moving between your device and our servers, access controls that limit which personnel can view account and message data, and internal procedures for responding to suspected security incidents. Verification selfies are used solely to confirm a match against uploaded profile photos and are handled with the same access restrictions as other sensitive account data.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and elvori cannot guarantee absolute security of your data. We have not represented, and this policy does not claim, that our security practices have been independently audited or certified against any specific external standard.

6. Your Rights, Retention & International Transfers

Depending on your location, you may have a set of rights over your personal data that are commonly recognized in data-protection frameworks, including the rights of access, rectification, erasure (also known as the right to be forgotten), objection to certain processing, restriction of processing, and data portability. These rights are described here as general regulatory context and are, where applicable, extended to users regardless of jurisdiction as a matter of our own practice.

Right of access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to rectification: ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data, many fields of which you can also edit directly in your account settings.
Right to erasure / right to be forgotten: request deletion of your account and associated personal data, subject to limited retention described below.
Right to object or restrict: ask us to stop or limit certain processing, such as non-essential analytics.
Right to portability: request your data in a commonly used, machine-readable format where technically feasible.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in the final section of this policy. We aim to acknowledge requests promptly and to respond within a reasonable timeframe, which may vary depending on the complexity of the request and the need to verify your identity before releasing or deleting account data.

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy - generally for the lifetime of your account, plus a limited period afterward to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and maintain security logs. When a deletion request is processed, we remove or anonymize personal data within our systems except where retention is required for the limited purposes just described.

Because elvori's infrastructure and service providers may operate in countries other than your own, your personal data may be transferred across borders in order to be stored or processed. Where such transfers occur, we rely on the contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards generally available to data recipients to protect data in transit and at rest, consistent with the regulatory principles referenced throughout this policy.

7. Children's Privacy and the 18+ Restriction

elvori is strictly an adults-only platform. The Service is not directed at, and is not intended for use by, anyone under the age of 18. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet this minimum age requirement, and the age you provide during registration is used for verification purposes.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18. If we become aware that an account has been created by, or contains personal data belonging to, a person under the age of 18, we will take reasonable steps to suspend the account and delete the associated data as soon as practicable. If you believe a minor is using elvori, please contact us using the details below so we can investigate and act accordingly.

8. Changes to This Policy and How to Contact Us

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the Service, or applicable legal and regulatory context. When we make material changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice within the Service, such as a banner or account notification. Continued use of elvori after a revised policy takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

If you have questions about this policy, wish to exercise any of the rights described above, or want to report a concern about how your data has been handled, please contact our privacy team at [email protected]. We will do our best to respond in a timely manner.
