Effective September 11, 2026
The short version: we collect what you give us and what you do on Private Line, we use it to run the service and keep it safe, we never sell it, and you can delete it. The long version follows.
Private Line is run by Gold Patrons Data Technology (“we”). This policy covers the Private Line website at myprivateline.co and the Private Line app. It says what we collect, why, who else sees it, and how long we keep it. If you have a question it does not answer, write to contact@myprivateline.co.
What you give us to open an account. Your name, email address, phone number, a username and a password, and your age range. Optionally: your gender, where you are, a job title, company, industry, education, skills, what you are open to, a headline and a short bio, links to your other pages, and a profile picture and cover photo. The optional fields are exactly that; the account works without them.
What you post. Posts, photos and videos, the text you lay over them, stories, comments, reposts, and what you put on your digital business card. Messages you send to other people, and messages sent to you. Details you exchange through somebody’s card or contact form.
What you do. Who you follow and who follows you, what you like, comment on, repost, share and save, which posts you view and for roughly how long, what you search for, which communities you join, who you nudge and who nudges you, and who you invite. Each of these is a fact about your own account, and together they are how the feed decides what to show you.
What your device tells us. A session cookie that keeps you signed in; a token for push notifications if you turn them on; your IP address and browser or app version in our server logs, kept briefly for security; and, on the website, whether you asked for light or dark mode. We do not use analytics or advertising trackers, and we do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
To run the service: showing your profile and posts to the people you allow, delivering messages, building your feed and the Sparks video page from what you have engaged with, making your business card work, and sending the notifications and the daily report you have asked for.
To keep the place safe: screening posts, answering reports, stopping spam and abuse, and protecting accounts from being broken into.
To support you when something goes wrong. Nothing here is used to sell you things, and nothing is sold to anybody else.
Every post is checked by an automated system when it is published. The text is sent to an AI model, operated by a third-party provider, which answers one question: does this break the rules on sexual content, violence, harassment, illegal goods, dangerous claims or spam. The provider processes the text to return that answer and for nothing else. Posts the system flags are held for a person to look at; nothing is removed by a machine alone.
When you search, what you typed may be sent to the same kind of model to work out related words, so that “real estate” finds the person whose bio says “realtor.” Only the search words are sent, never who searched.
Automatic checks are a safety net, not a guarantee. We do not promise that everything against the rules is caught before somebody sees it, and every post and comment has a way to report it.
Platform staff can see what is in your account, including messages, when that is needed to answer a report, keep people safe, or fix a problem you have asked for help with. To reproduce a problem, an administrator may sign in to the service as your account; every such sign-in is recorded with who did it and when. Staff do not read messages for any other reason.
The companies that run our infrastructure. Our servers are hosted by Vercel; the database and the photos and videos you upload are stored with Supabase; email is sent through Resend; push notifications go through Apple’s notification service; and posts and searches are screened by an AI provider as described above. Each of them processes data only to provide that service to us.
Other people on Private Line, according to your settings. A public page is readable by anyone; a private page only by the followers you let in. Your name, username, headline and profile picture are visible to anybody who can see your page. Your email address and phone number are not shown to other members unless you put them on your business card or hand them over yourself.
Advertisers: nobody. Advertising, when it runs, appears between posts and is never sold against an individual account. No advertiser is given your name, contact details, or anything you gave us at signup. If we use an advertising network, it may set its own cookies to serve and measure ads, under its own policy, and you can block those in your browser. No advertising appears on or beside political pages.
The law. We disclose account information, including who is behind an account, only in response to valid legal process — a subpoena, a court order, or an equivalent lawful demand — or where we believe in good faith that somebody is in immediate danger. There is no button for it and no informal route; a request has to come through the law.
A buyer of the business, if there ever is one, would take this data with it under this policy or one that protects it at least as well.
For as long as you have an account. Posts taken down in moderation are hidden rather than destroyed, so that a decision can be reviewed. Server logs are kept for a short period for security and then discarded.
When you close your account, it is deactivated at once and deleted thirty days later. The thirty days are there so that a closure by mistake, or in a bad moment, can be undone by signing back in. After that, your profile, posts, photos, videos, stories, comments, likes and card are deleted. Messages you exchanged with other people are kept for them, with your name and account removed, because a conversation belongs to both people in it.
You can edit anything on your profile at any time, and remove the optional details. You can make your page private, hide the like, share and view counts on any post, turn comments off, block anybody, and choose which notifications and emails you get. You can close your account from Settings; there is no need to ask us.
If you are in a place whose law gives you rights over your data — to see it, correct it, have it deleted, or object to how it is used — you have them here regardless of where you live. Write to us and we will act on the request; we may ask you to confirm you are the account holder first.
You must be 18 or over to hold an account. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone younger, and an account found to belong to a minor is closed.
Passwords are stored as one-way hashes and cannot be read back by us or anyone else. All traffic is encrypted in transit. Access to production systems is limited to the people who run them. No system is perfectly secure, and if a breach affects your data we will tell you.
When this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and if the change affects what we do with your data in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect.
