Plain-language summary of what SocialFlow collects and why. Last updated November 11, 2026.
What we collect
When you apply to join: your name, email, and the answers you give (area, age range, interests, how often you like to go out, budget, why you want to join, how you’d like to be contacted) and your phone number. Instagram is optional.
When you contact us or ask about a partnership: what you type into the form.
When you sign in: a secure session cookie so you stay signed in.
Visitor statistics: we use Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how the site is used: which pages people visit, how they found us, what device they use, and actions like starting an application, sending a chat message or tapping a ticket link. Google Analytics uses cookies for this. When you’re signed in, your visits are tagged with your member number, your area and your interests (never your name, email or phone) so we can see which parts of the site members actually use. We also use Google signals, a Google Analytics advertising feature for demographics and interests reporting: Google matches the Google Analytics cookie with information from people who are signed in to a Google account and have Ads Personalization turned on, and shows us only grouped totals (like age ranges and interests), never anything about one person. We don’t use any of this to show you ads. You can turn off Ads Personalization in Google’s Ads Settings, see or delete this data in My Activity, or opt out of Google Analytics completely with Google’s opt-out add-on.
At events: when you’re checked in at the door (with your door pass, a ticket or your name), we note that you came. That’s how we know who our regulars are and which events to invite you to.
Tickets: if you buy tickets on this site, the payment happens on Stripe’s secure page. We get your name, email, what you bought and whether it went through. We never see or store your card number.
Sign-ins: for each device you’re signed in on, we keep the kind of browser and a rough city (Cloudflare’s guess), so you and the team can spot a sign-in that isn’t yours. We don’t store IP addresses.
Chat and notifications: your chat messages, reactions and photos are kept so members can read them, until you or the team delete them. The SocialFlow team can read the chat and the board, including deleted and hidden messages, to keep the community safe and handle reports. If you turn on phone notifications, we keep the address your phone or browser gives us for sending them, and remove it when it stops working.
In the members area: what you post on the members’ board, your poll votes and reactions, and anything you add to your profile. Only approved members can see the board. If you choose to be listed, other members see your first name, last initial, area, interests and your short bio; never your email or phone. Alex keeps private notes and a history of your membership (applied, approved, logins) to run the community.
How we use it
To review your application, welcome you to the community, send you your welcome email, password links and community updates, and plan experiences people actually want. Text messages are only sent if you checked the box agreeing to them, and you can reply STOP at any time.
What we don’t do
We don’t sell your information. We don’t share it with partners or sponsors without asking you first. Sponsor reports only ever contain totals (how many people came, page visits), never names.
Services we use
Cloudflare (hosting and storage), Google Analytics (visitor statistics, described above), Stripe (ticket payments), and Anthropic (an AI assistant the SocialFlow team may use to understand what’s happening in the community and draft messages; the information it looks up is sent to Anthropic to process, and by default Anthropic doesn’t use it to train its models).
Where it’s stored
On Cloudflare’s secure servers. Passwords are stored only as salted one-way hashes (PBKDF2), never in readable form; password links and sessions are stored only as one-way hashes too. Everyone who can open SocialFlow’s dashboard signs in with a password plus a code from their phone.
Your choices
Members can update their details, hide themselves from the member list, or delete their account (and their posts) at any time from the members area. Anyone can ask us to delete their information by emailing info@socialflowconnect.com.
