Privacy Policy

Privacy is the entire premise. If you wanted everyone to see this, you'd post it. So here, in plain English, is exactly what we collect, what we do with it, and what we don't.

EFFECTIVE: MAY 20, 2026 VERSION: 1.0 JURISDICTION: UNITED STATES

01Who we are

Goose ("Goose," "we," "us," or "our") is a dating advisor product built by Better Half, Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in Austin, Texas. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you visit our website, sign up for early access, pre-order a squadron membership, or use the Goose product when it becomes available.

If anything here is unclear, email privacy@goose.app and a human will answer.

02Information we collect

Information you give us directly

Information collected automatically

Information you'll provide later (when the product launches)

What we do not collect Goose does not access your dating-app accounts, your phone's camera roll, your contacts, your location, or your message threads in real time. You decide what to paste in. Nothing leaves your device without you choosing to share it.

03How we use information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent it. We do not pass it to data brokers.

04Who we share information with

We share information only with the service providers we need to run Goose, and only with what they need to do their job.

We may also disclose information when required by law, in response to a valid legal request, to enforce our Terms of Service, or to protect the safety of users or the public.

If Better Half, Inc. is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the same protections set out here.

05Cookies and tracking

We use a small number of first- and third-party cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, measure conversions, and run ads.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you're in the EU/EEA or California, you'll see a consent banner before non-essential cookies are set.

06How long we keep your data

We keep your email and account information for as long as you have an account or pre-order with us, and for a reasonable period after that to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you ask us to delete your account, we'll do it within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (e.g., financial records related to your purchase).

Message screenshots and content you submit to the product are retained only for as long as needed to generate your advice and improve your specific account's experience. You can delete this content at any time from inside the product.

07Your rights

If you're in the United States

Depending on your state (California, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, and others have specific laws), you may have the right to:

If you're in the EU/EEA, UK, or Switzerland

Under GDPR, you have the additional rights to data portability, to object to processing, to restrict processing, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Our legal bases for processing are contract (to deliver the service), consent (for marketing emails and non-essential cookies), and legitimate interest (for analytics and fraud prevention).

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@goose.app. We'll respond within 30 days.

08Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, restricted internal access on a need-to-know basis, and secure third-party providers (Stripe, Vercel, AWS-equivalent). No system is perfect, but we take this seriously, and we'll notify you and the appropriate authorities if a breach affects your data.

09Children

Goose is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with their information, email privacy@goose.app and we'll delete it.

10International data transfers

Goose is operated from the United States. If you're using the site from outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US, which may have different data protection laws than your country. By using the site, you consent to this transfer. For users in the EU/EEA and UK, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards.

11Changes to this policy

We'll update this policy when we change how we handle data. If the change is material, we'll email you or post a prominent notice on the site before the change takes effect. The "effective" date at the top of this page tells you when the current version was published.

12Contact

Email privacy@goose.app for any privacy question, request, or concern. For general questions, hello@goose.app.
