Welcome to KWAZE ("KWAZE," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit our website at kwaze.netlify.app (the "Site") or join our waitlist. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. By using our Site or joining our waitlist, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
1. Who We Are
KWAZE is a Haitian dating platform currently in pre-launch. We're building a space where Haitians worldwide can find meaningful connections — friendship, dating, and lasting love. The Site at kwaze.netlify.app is currently a waitlist landing page.
2. Information We Collect
When you join our waitlist, we collect:
- Email address (required) — so we can contact you when KWAZE launches.
- Name (optional) — to personalize our communications with you.
- Relationship intent (optional) — what you're looking for (Marriage, Serious Dating, Real Connection, or Just Exploring), to help us understand our community.
We may also collect basic technical information automatically when you visit the Site, including your IP address, browser type, device type, and timestamp of your visit. This is standard web traffic data collected by our hosting provider.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide to:
- Send you updates about KWAZE's launch and progress
- Notify you when early access is available
- Communicate important announcements about the platform

4. How We Share Your Information
We only share your information with:

- Legal authorities if required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of users or the public
We will never sell your information to third parties.
5. Service Providers
We use the following third-party service to operate the Site: Netlify, Inc. — hosts our website and processes waitlist form submissions. Netlify stores submission data on its secure servers. See Netlify's Privacy Policy at netlify.com/privacy.
When you submit our waitlist form, your information passes through Netlify's infrastructure. We selected Netlify because they offer strong security practices and comply with major data protection regulations.
6. Cookies and Tracking
Our Site currently uses minimal cookies, primarily for basic functionality (such as keeping your session active during your visit). We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking pixels.
If we add analytics or other tracking tools in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and inform users.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access. This includes:
- HTTPS encryption for all data sent between you and the Site
- Secure password-protected access to administrative accounts
- Two-factor authentication on accounts handling user data
However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure. While we work hard to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Data Retention
We keep your waitlist information until:
- You request deletion (see Section 9), or
- KWAZE permanently shuts down
If KWAZE launches as a full product, your waitlist data may transition into your KWAZE user account, governed by our updated Privacy Policy at that time.
