1. Data we collect
Skylight may process information you provide, information generated when you use the service, and information from third parties you authorise.
- Account and contact data, including phone number, sign-in provider identifiers and display name.
- Date, time and place of birth, and the astrological, Bazi and compatibility data derived from them.
- Profile details, photos, verification selfies, approximate location, preferences and content you publish.
- When you actively create a Safe Date session: precise background location, date time/place/notes, and the emergency contact name and phone number you provide.
- Posts, comments, private messages, reports, blocks and related safety records.
- Device, push, connection and diagnostic data, plus App Store transaction identifiers. We do not receive full payment-card details.
2. Usage analytics
We use Firebase Analytics for aggregated usage information such as sessions, screens viewed, device platform and feature interactions. Analytics events do not contain phone numbers, birth details, message content, precise location or verification selfies. The iOS build does not use an advertising identifier for Analytics.
3. Liveness verification and face data
When you actively start liveness verification, the App captures selfie frames while you follow an on-screen blink or head-turn instruction. The frames are transmitted over an encrypted connection to a private Skylight-controlled server hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2. Models running on that server process face detection, action/facial landmarks, and liveness and anti-spoofing confidence scores only to check that one person is present, the requested action occurred, the applicant is a real person, and to reduce fake accounts. Restricted administrators may manually review the same evidence for the same safety purpose. Skylight does not create a reusable face template or facial identifier, compare the data with another person or face database, or use it for advertising, analytics, matching or model training.
Verification selfies and liveness, anti-spoofing and face-detection confidence scores are stored temporarily in the private EC2 environment described above. They are not stored on Qiniu, made public, sold or shared with a third party for face analysis. AWS acts only as our contracted cloud-infrastructure provider. When an administrator approves or rejects a verification request, the verification selfies and related confidence scores are deleted immediately. Evidence awaiting review is automatically deleted 30 days after submission. Account deletion also deletes the associated selfies and scores immediately. After evidence deletion, only the pass/fail outcome and associated timestamps are retained while the account is active to display verification status and prevent abuse; those remaining records are deleted when the account is deleted.
4. How we use data
We use data to create and secure accounts, verify age and identity, provide matching and readings, calculate distance, deliver messages and notifications, manage coins and VIP benefits, prevent fraud, investigate reports, improve reliability and meet legal obligations.
5. Sharing and service providers
Data is shared only as needed with contracted providers for hosting, media storage, push notifications, identity login, communications, analytics and App Store payments. Profile, community and chat images, plus Live Photo motion videos, are sent to Alibaba Cloud Content Moderation to detect nudity, violence, child-safety, scam and other policy risks. Data may also be disclosed to authorities where legally required. We do not sell dating, message or birth data.
6. Visibility
Profile details, posts and comments you choose to publish may be visible to other users. Exact birth details, contact details, verification selfies and private messages are not public profile fields. Anonymous posts conceal identity according to product rules.
7. Retention and deletion
Safe Date is optional and uses background location only after you create a session. Obtain the emergency contact’s permission before providing their details. Six hours after expiry, the sharing token and precise location are erased. Emergency-contact, venue, note, photo and location data for completed, cancelled or expired sessions is erased by default 30 days after the last lifecycle update. Skylight is not an emergency service or personal-safety guarantee; contact local emergency services directly if danger is immediate.
We retain data while your account is active and as needed to provide the service. Account deletion removes profile data, photos and posts, and erases the content of comments and private messages you sent. Other personal data is deleted or de-identified. Limited records may be retained with restricted access where needed for safety, refunds, disputes, audits or legal obligations.
8. Your rights and choices
You can update your profile, manage permissions, block users, revoke linked sign-ins and permanently delete your account in Settings. Email skylight@yauhingtech.com to request access, correction, deletion, consent withdrawal or other privacy assistance.
9. Age and security
Skylight is only for people aged 18 or older. We use access controls, encrypted transport and audit measures to protect data, but no system can guarantee absolute security.
