Welcome to KISS, a platform designed to support sexual health awareness, STI/STD status sharing, and anonymous partner notifications. This Privacy Policy explains how KISS collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal data.
All references to “KISS,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to KISS APP, its parent companies, and subsidiaries. This policy outlines how we process your Personal Information, which includes any data that can directly or indirectly identify you.
By using KISS, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use immediately. This policy applies exclusively to users in the United States.

Sexual preferences and lifestyle details as part of your profile.
Location information if enabled.
Providing this information is completely optional but may affect the functionality of certain app features.

4. Anonymous Partner Notifications
KISS allows users to anonymously notify past or current partners of an STI diagnosis. However:
This feature does not replace your legal responsibility to disclose your STI status where required.
KISS is not liable for how users choose to notify or fail to notify partners.
We do not verify the accuracy of self-reported STI status or notifications.
5. Data Sharing and Third-Party Access
We share limited Personal Information only when necessary:
With service providers: We may share data with third-party vendors, such as hosting providers and payment processors, to support platform functionality.

Control notifications and data sharing: Adjust privacy settings within the app.
Deactivate or delete your account: Request deletion of your account and associated data.
Please note: Some data may be retained for legal, security, or fraud prevention purposes.
7. Data Security and Retention
We implement security measures to protect user data, including encryption and access controls. However, no system is 100% secure, and users acknowledge the risks of transmitting sensitive information online.
Retention period: We store data only as long as necessary for legitimate business purposes, legal compliance, or safety measures.
Account deletion: When you delete your account, most of your data is removed from our active systems, but some information may be retained as required by law.
8. Compliance with U.S. Laws
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, also known as HIPAA, which is applicable to healthcare providers but not KISS directly.
State STI disclosure laws: Users are responsible for understanding and complying with their state’s laws regarding STI disclosure.
U.S. data protection laws: While KISS is not governed by international privacy laws such as GDPR, we strive to meet high privacy standards.

Users must be 18 or older to use KISS. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.
If we discover that a minor has created an account, we will delete the account and associated data immediately.
Users are prohibited from using KISS for illegal, exploitative, or non-consensual activities.
