1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Stride may collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use our website, mobile application, and community savings services. By using Stride, you acknowledge the practices described here.
2. Information we collect
We may collect account details such as your name, email address, phone number, date of birth, address, profile photo, and invitation information. To help verify identity and enable payments, we may also process government identification, bank verification details, payment methods, and transaction records.
3. How we use information
Information may be used to create and secure accounts, verify identity, operate savings circles, process contributions and payouts, calculate trust scores, provide reminders and support, prevent fraud, comply with law, and improve the service.
4. Information sharing
Relevant circle details—such as a member's display name, contribution status, trust indicators, vouches, and activity—may be visible to other circle participants based on permissions. We may also share necessary information with payment processors, identity-verification providers, service providers, legal authorities, or during a business transfer.
5. Payments and verification
Payments may be processed by Stripe or another disclosed payment provider. These providers process payment and banking information under their own privacy terms. Stride should retain only the data needed to operate and document transactions.
6. Data security and retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for service, legal, fraud-prevention, and recordkeeping purposes.
7. Your choices and rights
You may review or update profile details, manage notification preferences, request account deletion, or contact us about applicable access, correction, portability, or deletion rights. Some records may be retained where required by law or legitimate financial recordkeeping obligations.
8. Children's privacy
Stride is not intended for children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Updates and contact
We may update this policy as the service evolves. Material changes will be communicated through the service. Questions may be sent to .
