Daybreak Privacy Policy
Draft - last updated October 12, 2026
Daybreak (joindaybreak.co) is a dating and social app for women exploring connections with other women, operated by PACE ("PACE," "we," "us"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you use Daybreak(the "Service"), how we use and share it, and the choices you have.
We understand how personal dating can be, so we built Daybreak with discretion and privacy as foundational principles. Please also read our Terms of Service.
1. What we collect
- Phone number, used to create and secure your account.
- Profile information you choose to add: name or nickname, age, gender, orientation, what you are looking for, bio, interests and other profile answers.
- Photos you upload.
- Approximate location, from your device (with your permission) or your network.
- Messages you send and receive, including messages to AI Companions, and reports you file.
- Payment metadata from our payment processor: plan, amount, dates, status and the last digits/type of card. We never receive or store your full card number.
- Age-verification result: whether you passed verification and the date, from our verification provider.
- Device and usage data: device type, browser, IP address, pages and features used, crash logs, and cookie/pixel identifiers.
2. How we use it
- To run the Service: create your account, show your profile, find nearby members, and deliver messages.
- To keep members safe: verify age, detect fake accounts, spam, scams and abuse, and investigate reports.
- To process memberships and purchases, and to handle billing questions and refunds.
- To send account and security messages, including SMS verification codes.
- To measure and improve the Service and our advertising.
- To comply with the law and enforce our Terms.
3. Location
Daybreak uses approximate location only to show members near you and how far away they are. Your exact coordinates are never shown to other members. You can turn off device location permission at any time; some features may then work less well.
4. Photos
Your photos are blurred to other members until you choose to share them, and they are always blurred for logged-out visitors. Photos may be reviewed (automatically or by people) to enforce our content rules, including the ban on explicit nudity in profile photos.
5. Age verification and SMS
Daybreak is for adults 18+. We may ask you to verify your age with a selfie or ID check carried out by our verification provider, Didit. Didit processes your images and documents to confirm your age and sends us the result; we do not need to keep a copy of your ID. We use Twilio to send SMS verification codes and account messages to your phone number.
6. AI Companions
Some profiles are AI characters, always labelled "AI." Messages you send to an AI Companion are sent to a third-party AI model provider to generate a reply. We do not use these conversations for advertising. You can mute AI Companions in your profile settings.
7. Meta Pixel and cookies
We use cookies and browser storage to keep you signed in and remember your settings. We also use the Meta Pixelto measure how our ads perform (for example, whether an ad led to a sign-up or a membership). The Pixel may share device identifiers and those events with Meta. Where required, we ask for your consent first. You can opt out by declining non-essential cookies where offered, adjusting your browser's cookie settings, or using your Meta ad preferences. We do not send your messages, photos or profile answers to Meta.
8. Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only:
- With other members, as you choose (your profile, shared photos and messages).
- With service providers who process data for us under contract: hosting, SMS (Twilio), age verification (Didit), payment processing, AI model providers (for AI Companions), and analytics/ad measurement (Meta).
- With law enforcement and child-safety organizations, including NCMEC, when we suspect sex trafficking, child sexual abuse material (CSAM), or a minor on the Service, or when the law requires it.
- To protect the safety of members or the public, or our rights.
- With a successor if the Service is sold or merged, under the same protections.
9. Retention and deletion
We keep your information while your account is active. You can ask us to delete your account at any time by emailing support; we then delete or anonymize your profile, photos and messages within a reasonable period, except for information we must keep for legal, safety, fraud-prevention or billing reasons (for example, records of accounts removed for trafficking or underage use, and transaction records).
10. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the California Consumer Privacy Act or the GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. We do not sell or "share" your information for cross-context behavioral advertising beyond the ad measurement described above, and you can opt out of that. To make a request, email support@joindaybreak.co. We will not discriminate against you for using these rights.
11. Security
We use encryption in transit, access controls and other safeguards to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a unique password for your email and keep your phone secure.
12. Minors
Daybreak is for adults 18 and older only. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that an account belongs to a minor, we remove it immediately and report it where applicable, including to the NCMEC CyberTipline. If you believe a minor is using Daybreak, contact support@joindaybreak.co.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. If we make material changes, we will notify you in the app or by email before they take effect.
14. Contact
