Privacy Overview

You choose what to put in a singer profile or quartet listing. That can include names, parts, goals, experience, availability, travel willingness, a short description, and approximate location fields.

My Singer Profile and My Quartet Profile are optional and have independent visibility controls. Filling out one does not publish the other.

Do not put private contact details or exact home-location details into public text fields if you do not want other people to see them.

Approximate location helps singers and quartets judge whether an introduction might be practical without exposing exact home-location details.

Public discovery uses city, region, country, or a public location label. It should not show exact coordinates, private postal codes, or private addresses.

Singer profiles and quartet profiles have independent visibility controls. Active profiles shown in Find can appear in search and discovery. Profiles not shown in Find should stay out of those discovery views.

Both optional profiles can be discoverable at once when that matches your situation, but neither one has to be discoverable just because it has been filled out.

The database uses privacy-safe discovery views for public search rather than exposing private base tables directly.

Public search results should not show personal email addresses or phone numbers by default.

When someone sends a contact request, the app stores the request, resolves the recipient on the server/database side, and sends a notification without revealing the recipient's email address to the sender.

Replies are stored with the original contact request and are visible only to the sender and recipient participants.

Message reports are private. They are visible only to authorized project administrators for review and safety action.

Barbershop is global, and the app should be useful outside the United States and Canada. Location handling is approximate and globally tolerant by design.

The app should not require US-only fields like state or exact street address to make basic discovery useful.

This page is a plain-language product overview, not a formal legal privacy policy. A formal policy can be added later when the app is closer to public launch.
