Privacy Policy

Slang Compass (“we,” “us,” or “our”) helps parents and caregivers understand youth culture. This Privacy Policy describes what we collect, how we use it, the choices you have, and your rights. Slang Compass is designed for adults; we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction).

1) Information we collect

Information you provide

• Profile info (e.g., name, email, location) if you choose to save it.
• Preferences such as categories/topics you follow and favorites.
• Support messages you send to us.

Information from your device

• Usage data (pages viewed, time on page, interactions) to improve the service.
• Device & log data (IP address, browser/OS info, crash reports).
• Cookies/local storage to keep you signed in and remember preferences. Our mobile app may store items like favorites locally on your device; you can clear them in the app or by removing the app’s data.

2) How we use information

• Provide, operate, and secure the website and mobile app.
• Personalize content (e.g., show categories you follow).
• Analyze usage and improve features.
• Communicate about updates, security notices, or policy changes.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

3) Legal bases (EEA/UK/Switzerland)

Where applicable, we rely on: contract, legitimate interests, consent (where required), and legal obligations.

4) Sharing of information

• Vendors/Service Providers who perform services for us (e.g., hosting, analytics) under contracts limiting their use of data.
• Compliance & safety when required by law or to protect rights, security, or prevent abuse.
• Business transfers (e.g., merger, acquisition, asset sale).

5) Your choices

• Cookies: You can block or delete cookies in your browser; some features may not work.
• Marketing emails: You can unsubscribe via any marketing email we send.
• Mobile notifications: Manage push notifications in your device settings.
• “Do Not Sell or Share” (CPRA): We do not sell personal information. If we ever use data for cross-context behavioral advertising, we will provide a clear “Do Not Sell or Share” link and honor your choices.

6) Children’s privacy

Slang Compass is for parents and caregivers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided us personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

7) Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Items stored locally on your device (e.g., favorites) remain until you remove them or uninstall the app.

8) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. No method is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9) International transfers

If you access Slang Compass from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed in countries that may have different data-protection rules.

10) Your rights

Depending on your region (e.g., EEA/UK/California), you may have rights to request access, deletion, correction, portability, or restriction of processing, and to opt out of certain processing. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

11) Third-party links

We may link to third-party sites/platforms. Their privacy practices are their own; review their policies before use.

12) Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We’ll update the “Last updated” date above and, where required, provide additional notice. Continued use means you accept the updated policy.
