Privacy Policy

Email

To register on Réseau Des Lumières, you are required to provide and validate your email address. This helps us combat spam, limit the creation of multiple accounts, and ensure we can safely resend your login information if needed.

We guarantee that:

• Your email address will never be disclosed to third parties.
• We will never send you spam.
• Your email address will not be visible to other users, bots, or anyone else. It is securely stored in our database and used internally only when necessary.

The emails you may receive from us include:

• A confirmation email after registration, containing a link to complete the registration process.
• [Optional] Notifications about new messages when you are offline, if you choose to enable this option.
• Notifications about mutual matches with other users.
• Emails you request, such as password recovery or account-related assistance.

Phone Number

To validate your account, you are now required to provide and verify your phone number. This additional step helps us combat spam and ensure a safer environment for all users. Your phone number is securely stored in our database and will never be shared with third parties or displayed to other users.

Cookies

We do not use any tracking cookies on Réseau Des Lumières, so there is no need to request your consent for cookies. However, we do use essential cookies to enhance your experience on the site. These include:

• Preference Cookies: To remember your settings and preferences, such as sound settings or display options.
• Session Cookies: To keep track of your login status and identify you as a user or guest.

For guests, cookies are the only way to maintain access to their accounts, as guests do not have email addresses. These cookies are essential for the functionality of the site and are not used for tracking purposes.

Geographic Location

Your geographic location is not visible to other users. Instead, they can only see the approximate distance between you and them, rounded to the nearest 5 kilometers.

To protect your privacy:

• Users can only update their geographic location up to 3 times per day, preventing misuse to pinpoint your exact location.
• To further safeguard your privacy, we recommend using a general location, such as your city or postal code, rather than your exact street address.

Birthdate

Your birthdate is not displayed to other users. It is only used to determine whether you fall within the desired age range of other users during searches.

Even if someone adjusts their age to see if your profile appears in search results, they will only be able to infer your desired age range, not your actual age.
