Make New Friends and Get Outside.

Effective as of 12-Nov-2025

Welcome to SophieConnects.com, which is a trade name of Bravy, Inc.!

Bravy, Inc. (“Bravy”, “we”, “us”, and/or “our”) operates the Bravy mobile, phone and web applications, including SophieConnects.com (the “App”), the informational website SophieConnects.com and its mirror SophieConnects.ai (the “Website”), and other related services (collectively, the “Service”). Bravy may provide additional or supplemental privacy policies to individuals for specific products or services that we offer at the time we collect personal information.

SophieConnects brings together adults 50+ for AI-curated group activities and real-world friendships. Our virtual assistant, Sophie AI, helps with registration, user verification, and introductions to members who share similar interests, hobbies, or life experiences. Once a group is formed (typically six or more people), Sophie AI coordinates an in-person gathering - such as a shared hobby session, an outing, or group event - so members can meet face-to-face and enjoy time together offline.

For clarity: SophieConnects is not a dating service and not a social media platform. Too many people spend too much time scrolling on their phones. SophieConnects exists to help find like-minded people and join group activities offline, not online.

For more information concerning our automatic collection of data, please see the Tracking, AI & other technologies section below.

Tracking, AI & Other Technologies

Cookies and other tracking technologies. Some of the automatic collection described above is facilitated by the following technologies:

Cookies, which are small text files that websites store on user devices and that allow web servers to record users’ web browsing activities and remember their submissions, preferences, and login status as they navigate a site. Cookies used on our sites include both “session cookies” that are deleted when a session ends, “persistent cookies” that remain longer, “first party” cookies that we place and “third party” cookies that our third-party business partners and service providers place.

Local storage technologies, like HTML5, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.

Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked.

Chatbot and other artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies, including those provided by AI platform providers such as OpenAI. Our chatbot technologies may employ cookies and software code to operate the chat and user input/prompt features that you can use to communicate and input your prompts and other data through the Service. OpenAI and other third parties may access and use information about your IP address, your general geographic information (e.g., city, state, ZIP code), and other personal information you share through chats or within inputs to facilitate the provision of the Service through our chatbot. We also use the personal information you make available to us in connection with other AI algorithms and machine learning models that we use for personalization (e.g., to assess your personality, traits and compatibility with other members), as well as for safety and security purposes and to prevent abuse or other violations of our terms or applicable laws.

For information concerning choices you may have with respect to the use of tracking technologies, see the your choices section, below.

How we use your personal information

For example, we use Google Analytics for this purpose. You can learn more about Google Analytics and how to prevent the use of Google Analytics relating to your use of our sites here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

This is called interest-based advertising.

Retention We generally retain personal information to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of providing the Service, satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, to establish or defend legal claims, or for fraud prevention purposes. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we may consider factors such as the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
