Two Degrees Connections, the agreements that govern the community.
Effective 09/28/2026
Account & profile data you give us: name, email address, phone number (if you add one), business/role, profile photo, bio, skills, interests, links, and your city/state. Content you create: posts, replies, messages, event RSVPs, connections, and job activity. Payment data is handled by Stripe, we never see or store full card numbers. We also collect limited technical/usage data (device, log, and approximate city-level location) to operate and secure the service.
To create and run your account; to power the directory, connections, warm intros, messaging, events and jobs; to process membership payments; to keep the community safe and enforce our rules; to respond to support requests; and to improve the product using aggregate, de-identified usage patterns. We do not use your data for third-party advertising.
To activate a Two Degrees Wallet, we collect government-issued ID and selfie photos via Stripe Identity solely to verify member identity for wallet activation. This data is processed and stored by Stripe and is not accessed by Two Degrees directly.
Member wallet balances are held via Stripe Treasury. We store wallet transaction history for up to 7 years for legal and financial compliance. Wallet balances are returned or handled per Stripe's policy upon account deletion.
Members may optionally connect their own social media accounts (TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X) via OAuth. We access only the permissions explicitly granted and use them solely to post content on the member's behalf at their direction. We do not store social media passwords, and members can disconnect their accounts at any time in Settings.
We never sell your personal information. Your public profile (name, photo, title, company, bio) is visible to other signed-in members, but your email, phone number and precise location are private and are never shown to other members. We share data only with service providers who help us operate, when required by law, or in a business transfer, always subject to this Policy. Our service providers include: Stripe (payments, identity verification, and wallet), Amazon Web Services (file storage), MongoDB Atlas (database hosting), and OpenAI (AI features — member content may be processed by OpenAI to power AI-assisted features; this data is not used to train OpenAI models per our data processing agreement).
We keep your personal data for as long as your account is active. Membership/billing records are retained for up to 7 years to meet tax and legal obligations. Server and security logs are retained for up to 12 months. When you delete your account (see below) we remove or irreversibly anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except records we must keep by law.
If you enable push notifications, we collect your device token to send them. You can opt out of push notifications at any time in your device settings.
You can access and update your profile anytime in Settings. You can request deletion of your account and personal data directly in Account → Privacy & data ("Request account deletion"), or by emailing support@2degreesconnections. Once actioned, your profile, posts, messages and personal identifiers are removed or permanently anonymized and cannot be recovered. You may also request a copy of your data and opt out of marketing at any time.
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards (encryption in transit, access controls) to protect member data; no system is 100% secure. The App is intended only for people 18 and older.
