Privacy Policy

Bridge ("we," "our," or "us") is operated by SKW Ventures, Inc.. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our mobile application and services (collectively, the "Service"). By using Bridge, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

SMS Messaging & Phone Number Use

We collect your phone number for identity verification and to send account-related SMS messages. By providing your phone number and creating an account, you consent to receive SMS messages from Bridge for purposes including:

• One-time verification codes (OTPs) to confirm your identity
• Account security alerts (e.g., new device sign-ins)
• Important account and service notifications

We do not share your phone number with third parties for marketing purposes. Your phone number is used solely for account verification and essential service communications. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out of non-essential SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message or by contacting us at bridge.date.app@gmail.com. Opting out of verification messages may limit your ability to use certain features of the Service.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not share your phone number or other personal information with advertisers or data brokers.
