The Baseline - Privacy Policy
Effective Date: February 4, 2026
This policy applies to all current operations of The Baseline and its authorized successors or assigns.
1. Introduction
At The Baseline, we value the privacy of our exclusive community. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information as a "High-Signal" institution.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly (name, contact info, social media handles) and technical data (cookies) to improve your site experience.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate and maintain our social database.
- Match individuals based on criteria you provide.
- Communicate with you regarding your application or potential matches.
The security of your data is important to us. We implement industry-standard administrative and technical security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
4. Sharing Your Personal Information
We do not share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. Your information will only be shared with potential matches within our database upon your approval and in accordance with your preferences.
We may share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
5. Third-Party Service Providers
To facilitate our services, we share information with third-party service providers (e.g., payment processors and hosting providers such as netlify, etc.). These providers have access to your personal information only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. However, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties, as we do not control their independent operations.
6. International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to—and maintained on—computers located outside of your state or country where data protection laws may differ. By using our services and providing your information, you consent to this transfer.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us at thebaseline247@gmail.com.
8. Data Retention
When you submit your information through the Site, we will maintain your Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.
9. Changes
We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
10. Data Portability and Business Succession
The Baseline is currently operated as a sole proprietorship. You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a future business restructuring, including but not limited to the formation of a Limited Liability Company (LLC), Corporation, or a merger/acquisition, your personal data and membership records will be transferred to the new legal entity. This successor entity will be bound by this Privacy Policy or a substantially similar one that protects your rights.
Your Rights (California 2026): Under the CCPA, you have the right to request access to all data collected since January 1, 2022, the right to correction, and the right to deletion.
11. Limitation of Liability regarding Data
To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Baseline and its owner shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from any data breach, unauthorized access, or misuse of your personal information by third parties, provided that The Baseline has maintained reasonable security standards.
