Privacy Policy

SeniorDatingSenior ("we," "us," or "our") operates seniordatingsenior.com, a farmer dating site for rural adults aged 50 and over. By creating an account or using the site, you agree to the practices described below. If anything here is unclear, please contact our support team - we are happy to walk you through it.

1. What Information We Collect

We only ask for the information needed to run a safe and useful dating service. We collect three categories of data:

Information you provide directly

• Account details: first name, email address, password, gender, date of birth, and the U.S. state you live in.
• Profile content: photos, bio text, farming type (dairy, crops, livestock, ranch), relationship goals, faith or community preferences, and any optional details you add.
• Verification data: a live photo used to confirm you are a real person. The verification image is reviewed and then stored separately from your public profile.
• Communications: messages you send through the platform and any emails you send to our support team.

Technical information collected automatically

• IP address, approximate location (city or county level), browser type, operating system, and device identifiers.
• Usage data such as pages visited, profiles viewed, search filters applied, time spent on the site, and the referring page that brought you here.

Information from third parties

If you sign in with a social login or import a profile photo from another service, we receive only the basic information you authorize that service to share - typically name, email, and profile picture.

2. How We Use Your Information

SeniorDatingSenior uses your information to deliver the dating service you signed up for and nothing more. The main uses are:

• Provide the service: create your account, display your profile, and let other members discover you through farming-type filters, state filters, and smart match suggestions.
• Match you with other members: compare your preferences (age range, location, farming type, faith) to other profiles to surface compatible singles.
• Communicate with you: send account notices, match alerts, safety updates, and occasional newsletters. You can opt out of marketing email at any time from your account settings.
• Keep the platform safe: verify identities, detect fake accounts, prevent romance scams, and investigate reports of abuse. Adults 60+ lost $389 million to romance scams in 2024 (FTC), and fraud prevention is a primary reason we collect technical data.
• Improve the site: understand which features are useful, fix bugs, and design a clearer interface for members 50+.
• Comply with the law: meet legal, tax, and record-keeping obligations.

3. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. Cookies fall into three groups: essential (required for the site to work), preferences (remember your theme and filters), and analytics (help us improve the experience). For full details and instructions on managing cookies in your browser, please see our Cookie Policy.

4. Sharing With Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in the limited situations below:

• Service providers: trusted vendors that help us run the site - for example, cloud hosting, email delivery, identity verification, payment processing, and customer support tools. These providers are bound by contract to use your data only for the work we hire them to do.
• Other members: the profile content you choose to publish (photos, bio, age, state, farming type) is visible to other registered members. Your email address, password, and verification photo are never shown publicly.
• Legal authorities: when we are required by valid legal process - such as a subpoena, court order, or law-enforcement request - or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of a member or the public.
• Business transfers: if SeniorDatingSenior is ever merged with or acquired by another company, member information would transfer as part of that transaction. You would be notified before any change in how your data is handled.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have meaningful control over your information at every stage:

• Access and edit: view and update your profile, photos, and preferences from your account settings at any time.
• Download a copy: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will respond within 30 days.
• Correct mistakes: ask us to fix any data that is inaccurate or out of date.
• Opt out of marketing: unsubscribe from promotional email using the link at the bottom of any newsletter, or change your preferences in account settings. You will still receive essential account notices.
• State-specific rights: residents of California, Virginia, Colorado, and other states with privacy laws have additional rights, including the right to opt out of certain data uses. Email our support team to exercise these rights.

6. How to Delete Your Account

You can close your account and delete your personal information at any time. There are two simple paths:

1. Open your Account Settings and choose Delete Account. Your profile is hidden immediately and permanently removed within 30 days.
2. Or email [email protected] from the address on file and ask us to delete your account. We will confirm by reply within 5 business days and complete deletion within 30 days.

After deletion, we keep a small amount of information for a limited time when required by law - for example, transaction records for tax purposes or evidence of fraud reports. Anonymized usage statistics may be retained indefinitely.

7. Age Requirements and Minors

SeniorDatingSenior is a dating service strictly for adults aged 18 and over, and our community is built around rural singles 50+. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor has created an account, we will close it and delete the associated data without delay. Parents or guardians who believe a minor has registered can contact us at [email protected] for immediate assistance.

8. Data Security and Retention

We protect your information with encrypted connections (HTTPS), encrypted storage of sensitive fields, role-based access controls for our staff, and regular security reviews. No system is perfectly secure, but we apply the same standards used by reputable financial and healthcare platforms. We keep your data only as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations.

9. Changes to This Policy

If we make a meaningful change to this policy, we will post the updated version on this page and email registered members at least 14 days before it takes effect. The "Effective" date at the top of the page always reflects the current version.
