What Sawa+ adds to the general notice

In addition to your SawaLife account data, Sawa+ processes the data you choose to provide when you activate and use it: consents, goals, network profile, and, depending on your goals, meeting data, skills data and project data. None of it is collected before you activate Sawa+.

Data collected by Sawa+

Profile: display name, pronouns, resident status, bio, languages, city and your network goals. Meeting people: meeting intentions, questionnaire answers, interests, up to 6 photos, discovery preferences and, optionally, a precise location. Skills: headline, summary, skills, work modes, experience, portfolio link and availability (city and dates). Projects: project descriptions, required skills, status history, applications and invitations sent or received, and their outcome. Also: saved items, reports and blocks, and your consent history (type, version, date, locale).

Some answers may be sensitive

Some optional questionnaire answers may relate to information considered sensitive in your country. They are optional, used only for indicative compatibility, never shown publicly and never used for advertising.

Approximate and precise location

By default only your city is visible to other members. If you enable precise-location sharing (a separate, optional consent), the exact point is stored on our servers but never shown as such: other members see a randomly offset point, shifted by a few hundred metres and recomputed daily.

Who can see your data

Your Sawa+ profile is visible only to signed-in Sawa+ members, field by field according to your settings (all members, after a contact, or private); your date of birth is never shown, only your "adult" status. Your skills card and each project are members-only unless you make them public: public skills cards and projects can be viewed by anyone and indexed by search engines until you switch them back. Meeting data (questionnaire, interests, photos, location) is never public. When you apply to a project, the project owner sees your application and your network profile.

How data is used

We use your data to run Sawa+: show your profile to the right people, compute indicative compatibility, suggest skills and collaborators matching a project, route applications and messages, translate messages automatically, and moderate content and reports. Your data is not used for advertising or advertising profiling.

Retention, pause and deletion

You can pause your Sawa+ profile (hidden from discovery, data kept) or delete it while keeping your SawaLife account: this deletes your Sawa+ profile, answers, photos, preferences, saved items and consents, and takes your skills card and projects offline. Applications and conversations may be kept for the other member involved for as long as they keep their account, and for up to 12 months for security and dispute purposes; reports and moderation records are kept as long as needed for safety and legal obligations.

Sharing, never for advertising

We share Sawa+ data only with the members allowed by your settings, with the providers that help us operate the service (hosting, security, e-mail, automatic translation) under contract, and with authorities where the law requires it. We do not sell your data or share it for advertising.

Your rights

You can change your visibility settings, make public content members-only again, withdraw your precise-location consent (stored points are then deleted) and delete your Sawa+ profile at any time. For any other access, rectification or deletion request, use the "Personal data" area of your dashboard or contact [email protected].

Security

Your Sawa+ data is protected by the same access controls and security measures as the rest of the platform. No security is absolute; if an incident affects your data, we will notify you as required by law.

Changes and contact

We may update this notice; the version in force is always the one published here, together with SawaLife's general privacy notice for anything not specific to Sawa+. Contact: [email protected].
