Effective date: June 8, 2026 Last updated: June 8, 2026
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how Tacit ("Tacit", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects information about you when you access or use the Tacit mobile application and related services (collectively, the "App" or "Service"). Tacit is an AI-assisted dating service currently available only to individuals located in the United States who are 18 years of age or older.
This Policy is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Service. Please read both documents carefully. By creating an account or otherwise using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, do not use the App.
For the purposes of this Policy:
The App is intended only for individuals who are:
We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, do not use the App or provide any information to us. See Section 17 for more.
The table below is a plain-language summary. The detailed descriptions in Section 4 control.
| Category | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Account & contact | Mobile phone number | You |
| Profile | Nickname, gender, date of birth (age), city, education, occupation, income range, public profile text, photos | You |
| Preferences | Gender(s) you are interested in, age range, what you are looking for | You |
| Interview & Private Profile | Your interview conversation; the AI-generated Private Profile | You / generated by us |
| Matching & activity | Likes and passes, matches, AI compatibility insights and match points | Generated through use |
| Communications | Messages with your matches | You |
| Device & technical | Push notification token, app version, operating system, log and diagnostic data, timestamps | Automatically |
| Approximate location | City derived once from your device when you grant permission | You / your device |
| Support & safety | Feedback, reports you file or that are filed about you, blocks | You / other users |
We do not collect your email address, and we do not use a password.
Account and authentication. When you sign up, we collect your mobile phone number. We use it to create your Account and to authenticate you with a one-time SMS verification code. We do not collect a password or email address.
Profile information. When you build your profile, you provide:
Matching preferences. The gender(s) you are interested in, your preferred age range, and what you are looking for in connections.
Interview responses. Tacit's core feature is a guided, conversational "interview" with an AI agent. We collect your responses and the full interview conversation, which we use to generate your Private Profile (see Section 7).
Communications with other users. The content of messages you send and receive in chats with your matches.
Support and feedback. Any feedback you submit, and any reports you file about other users.
When you use the App, we and our Service Providers automatically collect limited technical information, which may include:
When you grant location permission during registration, we read your device's location once and convert it into a city name to show you people nearby and enable local matching. We do not continuously track your location, and we do not store your precise GPS coordinates after deriving your city. You can decline or revoke location permission in your device settings; this may limit location-based features.
The App is a mobile application, not a website, and does not use browser cookies. Like most mobile apps, it relies on software development kits (SDKs), device identifiers, and local device storage provided by our platform and Service Providers (for example, to keep you logged in securely, deliver push notifications, and operate core features). We do not use these technologies for third-party advertising, and we do not allow third parties to use them to build advertising profiles of you through the App.
We use your information for the following purposes:
We process your information on the bases that it is necessary to provide the Service you request, that it serves our legitimate interests (such as safety and improving the App) in a manner that does not override your rights, that we have obtained your consent (for example, for location or notifications), or that processing is required to comply with law.
Tacit relies on automated processing and artificial intelligence to deliver its core experience:
Your interview responses and profile data are sent to Google's Gemini AI models for this processing (see Section 8.2). AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, or unexpected, and the matches and insights it produces are suggestions, not guarantees. The App's automated processing does not produce legal or similarly significant effects about you; it is used to operate a dating service. If you have questions about how automated processing affects you, contact us using Section 20.
We share information only as described below. We do not sell your Personal Information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Other users of the App can see the public parts of your profile: your nickname, age, city, photos, public profile text, and (where you provide them) your education and occupation, together with AI-generated compatibility insights once a match is "decoded."
Other users cannot see your phone number, your date of birth (only your age is shown), your raw interview responses, your Private Profile, your income range (unless you choose to surface it in your public profile), your swipe history, your reports or blocks, or your device token.
Information you choose to share in messages or your public profile may be seen, saved, or re-shared by other users. Please be thoughtful about what you disclose.
We share information with vendors that process it on our behalf to operate the App:
| Service Provider | Purpose | Information shared |
|---|---|---|
| Google (Gemini API) | Generate your Private Profile; compute compatibility and match points; power in-chat AI assistance | Interview responses, profile data, and related match data |
| Supabase | Backend database, file storage (including photos), and authentication | Account, profile, content, and activity data |
| SMS provider (via Supabase) | Send one-time sign-in verification codes | Phone number |
| Expo / Apple Push Notification service (APNs) | Deliver push notifications | Device push token and notification content |
Service Providers are authorized to use your information only to provide services to us, subject to their own terms and applicable law.
We may disclose information if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to: comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; enforce our Terms of Service; detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Tacit, our users, or the public.
If Tacit is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will require the recipient to honor this Policy or provide notice of any material change.
We may share information for other purposes with your consent or at your direction.
The App relies on the third-party services listed above, each of which has its own privacy practices that we do not control. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of Google, Apple, and any other third party whose services you interact with. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties.
We retain your Personal Information for as long as your Account is active and as needed to provide the Service. When your Account is deleted, we delete or de-identify your Personal Information as described in Section 11, except where we are permitted or required to retain it, such as:
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it is processed.
You may also request deletion or exercise other rights by contacting us using Section 20.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and restricted database permissions. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining access to your phone number and for using the App on a secure device.
If we become aware of a security incident affecting your Personal Information, we will notify you and the appropriate authorities where required by law.
The App is offered to users in the United States, and your information is processed and stored in the United States by us and our Service Providers. If you access the App from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those of your location.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA/CPRA"), provides you with specific rights. This section supplements the rest of this Policy.
In the past 12 months, we have collected the following statutory categories of Personal Information:
| CCPA category | Collected? | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | Yes | Phone number, Account ID, device push token |
| Customer records (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)) | Yes | Phone number |
| Protected classifications | Yes | Age, gender |
| Commercial information | No | — |
| Internet/network activity | Yes | App usage and activity data |
| Geolocation data | Yes | Approximate (city-level) location |

| Professional/employment | Yes | Occupation, education |
| Education information | Yes | Education you provide |
| Inferences | Yes | Your Private Profile and AI compatibility inferences |
| Sensitive Personal Information | Yes | See Section 15.2 |
Because Tacit is a dating service, certain information we process is "Sensitive Personal Information" under California law, including:
We use Sensitive Personal Information only to provide and operate the Service you have requested (including matching and messaging) and for the other limited purposes permitted by law. We do not use or disclose it to infer characteristics about you for any purpose beyond providing the Service. We do not sell or share it.
We collect Personal Information from the sources described in Section 4 and use it for the business and commercial purposes described in Section 6. We disclose Personal Information to the categories of recipients described in Section 8.
You have the right to:
To submit a request, contact us at support@tacitmore.com. We will verify your request using information associated with your Account (such as your phone number). You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, subject to verification. We will respond within the timeframes required by law.
California Civil Code § 1798.83 permits California residents to request information about disclosures of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
Residents of certain other U.S. states may have rights similar to those described above, including rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of their Personal Information, and to opt out of targeted advertising, sale, or certain profiling. We do not sell Personal Information, share it for targeted advertising, or engage in profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. To exercise any available right, contact us at support@tacitmore.com, and we will respond as required by applicable law. Where required, you may appeal a decision regarding your request by replying to our response.
The App is intended only for adults 18 and older and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from anyone under 18, consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other applicable laws. If you believe a person under 18 has provided us with Personal Information, contact us at support@tacitmore.com, and we will promptly delete it.
Some browsers and devices offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no common industry standard for DNT and the App does not track you across third-party websites or services for advertising, the App does not respond differently to DNT signals.
We may update this Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice in the App. Changes are effective when posted unless stated otherwise. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated Policy.
If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Policy or your Personal Information, contact us at:

We will respond to privacy inquiries within a reasonable time and within any period required by applicable law.
