California Privacy Notice Addendum

1. Scope and Relationship to the Main Privacy Policy

This California Privacy Notice Addendum ("California Notice") applies exclusively to individuals who reside in the State of California and supplements Mingle's main Privacy Policy. In the event of any conflict between this Notice and the main Privacy Policy with respect to California residents, this Notice controls.

"Personal Information" in this Notice has the meaning given in the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq. All other defined terms have the meanings given in the main Privacy Policy.

Mingle is a professional networking platform that identifies overlapping travel itineraries between members and facilitates introductions and in-person meetings. The full description of data practices is set out in the main Privacy Policy. This Notice provides the additional disclosures required under CCPA/CPRA.

2. Categories of Personal Information Collected

The table below maps CCPA/CPRA categories to the personal information Mingle collects. Full details are provided in Section 3 of the main Privacy Policy.

3. Purposes for Collecting or Using Personal Information

Mingle collects and uses personal information for the following business purposes, described in full in Section 5 of the main Privacy Policy:

• To create, manage, and authenticate user accounts;
• To provide the travel overlap matching and professional networking features that constitute the core Service;
• To maintain the safety, integrity, and security of the platform through user-report-based moderation;
• To analyse anonymised navigation data and improve the Service (self-hosted Matomo, cookieless — no personal identifiers);
• To send transactional and service communications (account verification, OTP codes, policy change notices);
• To comply with applicable legal obligations and respond to lawful governmental requests;
• To process payments when paid subscription tiers are introduced — not currently active (see main Privacy Policy Section 5.7).

Mingle does not use personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, targeted advertising, or any sale or sharing of personal information.

4. Disclosure of Personal Information

4.1 Disclosed for a Business Purpose

In the 12 months preceding the effective date of this Notice, Mingle has disclosed personal information to the following categories of service providers:

No other categories of personal information were disclosed to third parties in the relevant period. Mingle does not use Google OAuth or any other third-party identity provider.

4.2 Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

Mingle does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, as those terms are defined under CCPA/CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.140(ad) and (ah)). Mingle has not sold or shared personal information in the 12 months preceding the effective date of this Notice. Because Mingle does not sell or share personal information, no "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" opt-out mechanism is required or offered.

4.3 Sensitive Personal Information

Mingle does not collect or use sensitive personal information as defined by CCPA/CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.140(ae)). Accordingly, the right to limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal information under Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.121 is not applicable.

5. California Consumer Rights

California residents have the following rights under CCPA/CPRA, subject to certain exceptions under applicable law.

5.1 Right to Know / Access (§ 1798.110)

You have the right to request that Mingle disclose: the categories of personal information collected about you in the preceding 12 months; the categories of sources from which that information was collected; the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing that information; the categories of third parties to whom Mingle disclosed the information; and the specific pieces of personal information Mingle has collected about you.

5.2 Right to Deletion (§ 1798.105)

You have the right to request deletion of personal information Mingle has collected about you, subject to certain exceptions (including information necessary for security, legal compliance, or the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims).

You may delete your account directly through account settings, which triggers cascade deletion of your profile and all associated data. Safety and moderation report records in which you appear are exempt from deletion under the legal claims exception and are retained indefinitely. Beta invitation links are also retained indefinitely as access control records and are not removed upon account deletion.

5.3 Right to Correction (§ 1798.106)

You have the right to request that Mingle correct inaccurate personal information it maintains about you. Most profile fields can be updated directly through account settings. For corrections to data not accessible through settings, contact Mingle at gabriel@webagab.fr.

5.4 Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing (§ 1798.120)

Because Mingle does not sell or share personal information as defined under CCPA/CPRA, this right is not currently applicable. No opt-out mechanism is provided or required.

5.5 Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information (§ 1798.121)

Because Mingle does not collect or use sensitive personal information as defined under CCPA/CPRA, this right is not applicable.

5.6 Right to Non-Discrimination (§ 1798.125)

Mingle will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights. Mingle will not deny you the Service, charge different prices, or provide a different level or quality of service for exercising your rights under this Notice.

6. How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights

To submit a verifiable California consumer request:

Email: gabriel@webagab.fr
Subject line: CCPA/CPRA Privacy Request — [Know / Delete / Correct]

Alternatively, you may exercise the right to delete by deleting your account directly through account settings.

Response time. Mingle will respond to verifiable requests within 45 days of receipt (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.130(a)(2)). If more time is needed (up to 90 days total), you will be notified of the extension within the initial 45-day period.

Verification. Mingle will verify your identity before processing a request, typically by confirming ownership of the email address associated with your account. Additional verification steps may apply for requests to access specific pieces of data.

Authorised agents. A California resident may designate an authorised agent to submit a rights request on their behalf (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.135). Please provide written proof of the agent's authority (such as a signed power of attorney). Mingle may also require you to verify your identity directly even when using an authorised agent.

No fee. Mingle will not charge a fee for processing verifiable consumer requests unless they are manifestly unfounded or excessive.

7. Retention of Personal Information

Personal information is retained in accordance with the retention schedule set out in Section 9 of the main Privacy Policy. In summary:

• Account and profile data, trip data, match records, and connection records are retained until account deletion and then cascade-deleted;
• Match, travel overlap, and meeting request records are deleted from your account upon deletion, but are fully removed from the Service only once all users involved in the relevant overlap or meeting have deleted their accounts;
• Connection records are deleted from both users' accounts simultaneously upon either user's account deletion;
• Beta invitation links are retained indefinitely as access control records and are not removed upon account deletion;
• Safety and moderation report records are retained indefinitely (including after account deletion) as litigation evidence under applicable law;
• Session tokens and OTP codes are deleted nightly;
• Database backups are retained for 7 days on a rolling basis.

Mingle retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the disclosed business purposes or as required by applicable law.

8. Changes to This California Notice

Mingle may update this California Notice to reflect changes in applicable law, Mingle's data practices, or the Service. When material changes are made, Mingle will update the "Last updated" date and provide notice in accordance with Section 15 of the main Privacy Policy. Continued use of the Service after an updated Notice takes effect constitutes your acknowledgement of the changes, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
