Privacy Policy

Icy. Hot. Pleasures.(“we,” “us,” “the House”) respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our services at icyhotpleasures.com and boutique.icyhotpleasures.com.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information. When you create a membership account, we collect your email address, full name, date of birth (for age verification), and a member name of your choice.

Profile Information. We collect the photos, biographical details, Five Marks (prompt answers), lifestyle anchors, and preferences you choose to add to your dating profile. This is always opt-in.

Payment Information. Subscription payments and boutique purchases are processed by Apple, Google, or Stripe. We do not store full credit card numbers. We retain payment history and the last four digits of your card for order fulfillment and subscription management.

Usage Information. We collect interaction data: which profiles you view, your Salon decisions (Pass/Hold/Reach), messages sent and received, boutique browsing, and event RSVPs. This data is used to curate your experience and improve the service.

Device & Technical Data. We collect IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and operating system for analytics, security, and fraud prevention.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • Operate and maintain your membership account
  • Curate your daily Salon (compatibility matching)
  • Facilitate member-to-member communication
  • Process subscription payments and boutique orders
  • Verify you meet our minimum age requirement of 30
  • Send service notifications (messages, matches, events)
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and policy violations
  • Comply with legal obligations

3. When We Share Information

With Other Members. The profile information you choose to make visible is shared with other members through the Salon and messaging features. Your date of birth, email address, and payment information are never visible to other members.

With Service Providers. We share necessary data with Clerk (authentication), Neon (database hosting), Vercel (hosting), Stripe (payment processing), and Apple/Google (in-app purchases). Each provider is contractually bound to use your data only for the services they provide.

Legal Requirements. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of the House, our members, or the public.

We never sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your membership is active. If you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain certain records (such as payment transaction history, which we retain for 7 years for tax purposes). Messages you sent to other members may remain visible to the recipient after account deletion.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Delete your account and associated data
  • Export your data in a portable format
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights, contact us at concierge@icyhotpleasures.com or use the account deletion feature in your Profile settings.

6. Cookies & Tracking

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. Analytics cookies (if enabled) help us understand how the service is used. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent the service from functioning properly.

7. Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, access controls, and regular security audits. No method of transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our services are strictly for individuals 30 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect or solicit information from anyone under 30. If we learn that we have collected personal data from someone under 30, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, contact us at concierge@icyhotpleasures.com.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or an in-app notification. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
