Policies
This Cookie Policy supplements the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for Stablemate. Any terms defined in those documents carry the same meaning here. This Policy explains how Stablemate uses cookies and other tracking technologies to operate the service and how you can manage or disable certain types of tracking.
WHAT IS A COOKIE?A cookie is a small text file with an identifier that we send to your computer or mobile device, which your browser then stores. “Session” cookies are temporary and disappear when you close your browser. “Persistent” cookies stay until they expire or are manually deleted. Cookies typically don’t contain personal information, but they may be linked to data we hold about you—for example, to help remember that you’re logged in. To learn more about cookies, you can visit an educational site like allaboutcookies.org.
WHAT IS LOCAL STORAGE?Local storage is part of your browser’s web storage. Like cookies, it allows websites to store information in your browser, even after you close a tab or the browser itself. However, unlike cookies, the data in local storage is not automatically sent to the server unless the webpage specifically does so. We may use local storage to remember your preferences or improve performance. Any data stored in your browser that is later sent to our servers is covered by this policy.
MANAGING COOKIES AND LOCAL STORAGEYour browser likely allows you to block or delete cookies. If you do, some features of our website may not work correctly or your experience may be limited.
HOW WE USE COOKIES AND LOCAL STORAGEStablemate uses cookies and local storage across our websites (including subpages) and mobile apps. These tools help us create a secure, personalized, and efficient experience for all members. Most browsers that access our services will receive cookies from us. The types of cookies we use may evolve, but in general, they serve the following purposes:
OPERATIONS AND FUNCTIONALITYSome cookies are necessary for our services to work properly. These may include:
AUTHENTICATIONWe use cookies to remember that you are logged in as you move through our platform. For example, when you log in to your Stablemate dashboard, a cookie helps keep you signed in while using the service. We also use local storage to recognize returning members and automate certain login processes by securely identifying you to our system.
PAYMENT PROCESSING, FRAUD PREVENTION AND DETECTIONCookies help us detect unusual activity and prevent fraud. They also assist with secure and smooth payment processing through our provider, Stripe Inc. (“Stripe”). Refer to our cookie list for specific items related to this use.
ANALYTICS FOR IMPROVEMENTS AND INTEGRATIONSCookies help us understand how people find and use our website and mobile app. These insights help us improve features, performance, and usability. We use Google Analytics to track usage patterns. Some third-party integrations may require enabling third-party cookies to verify your identity or grant access to protected content within those tools.
MARKETING AND ADVERTISINGCookies can make our marketing more effective. For example, they may prevent you from seeing the same ad repeatedly or help measure how many members saw or interacted with an ad. We may also use third-party tracking to understand if someone who saw one of our ads later signed up or upgraded on our platform. We sometimes partner with advertisers to show you relevant ads at public events or online after you’ve visited our site. We aim to show ads only where they add value—not annoyance.
HOW WE USE OTHER TECHNOLOGIES WITH COOKIESPixel TagsPixel tags (also called web beacons or clear GIFs) may be used to track how members interact with our services—such as opening an email—so we can measure campaign performance and service usage.
Third Party AnalyticsWe use Google Analytics and similar tools to gather usage data and generate reports on trends. These tools may also collect information about how you use other websites or apps. Learn more about Google’s policies by visiting their official website.
Flash CookiesWe may use Adobe Flash and similar technologies to store certain data about how you use the Services. If you want to manage Flash cookies, you can adjust your browser settings.
HOW TO MANAGE COOKIESYour browser likely gives you control over your cookie preferences. This includes disabling or deleting Stablemate cookies. Refer to your browser’s help section or visit the links below to learn more. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of some features.

The EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Policy for Stablemate (“Stablemate,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) reflects our commitment to the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks (collectively, “Privacy Shield”). Stablemate adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles, including the Supplemental Principles, for personal data received from entities in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) and Switzerland.
This Privacy Shield Policy (“Privacy Shield Policy”) works in conjunction with our broader Privacy Policy to explain how we handle personal data from the EEA and Switzerland under the Privacy Shield. Terms defined in the Privacy Policy also apply here.
If there is any conflict between this Privacy Shield Policy and the Privacy Shield Principles regarding personal data received under the Privacy Shield, the Principles will prevail to the extent of that conflict. To learn more, please visit the official Privacy Shield website.
PRIVACY SHIELD PRINCIPLES NOTICEOur Privacy Policy outlines how we collect and use personal data from various sources. This Privacy Shield Policy focuses specifically on data governed by the Privacy Shield. If you are a User of Stablemate, we may act on your behalf regarding personal data you provide to us. In most cases, we do not have a direct relationship with your customers. As such, it is the User’s responsibility to ensure that those customers are appropriately informed and given a choice regarding their personal data.
ChoiceAs a data controller—and when required by applicable law—Stablemate provides individuals in the EU and Switzerland (“EEA/CH Consumers”) with the option to choose whether their personal data may be disclosed to third-party controllers or used in a way materially different from its original purpose. Where required by the Privacy Shield, we obtain opt-in consent for sensitive data. EEA/CH Consumers may contact us using the information below to manage how their data is used or shared. Unless such a choice is clearly offered, Stablemate uses data only for purposes consistent with this Policy.
Data Integrity and Purpose LimitationWe collect only the personal data necessary to provide our services. We use it in ways compatible with those services or as otherwise explained to you. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the data we receive under the Privacy Shield is accurate, complete, up to date, and relevant to its intended use.
Accountability for Onward TransfersThis Policy and our general Privacy Policy explain how we share personal data. Unless required by law or covered under our controller/processor roles, Stablemate gives EEA/CH Consumers the option to opt out of sharing data with third-party controllers. Any third parties we work with are contractually required to handle personal data only for approved purposes and to maintain protections aligned with the Privacy Shield. If a third-party controller cannot meet these requirements, they must inform us and take appropriate action. Some disclosures—outlined in our Privacy Policy—may occur without an opt-out option.
We ensure our agents and service providers maintain the same level of protection as required under the Privacy Shield. If we transfer personal data to an agent or provider, we ensure they handle it in a way that aligns with our Privacy Shield obligations—unless we can demonstrate that we are not responsible for any resulting issue.
We may also disclose personal data to lawful authorities for reasons related to law enforcement, national security, legal processes, or court orders. These disclosures are not subject to opt-out rights.
Data SecurityWe use reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These safeguards are based on the sensitivity of the data and the potential risks involved.
Access to Personal DataOur Privacy Policy explains how you can access, review, correct, update, suppress, or delete your personal data. To make a request, email us at support@stablemate.app. We may limit access in certain situations—for example, if fulfilling the request would be unreasonably burdensome or inconsistent with Privacy Shield guidelines.
When acting on behalf of our Users, Stablemate supports them in addressing individual access or data use requests. If you’re a customer of a User, please contact that User directly. If you contact us and provide the User’s name, we will forward your request and assist them as needed.
Recourse, Enforcement, and Dispute ResolutionIf you have questions or concerns, please write to us at the address listed below. We will investigate and try to resolve any complaints regarding how we use or disclose your personal data under the Privacy Shield.
If we cannot resolve the issue, you may contact JAMS, an independent U.S.-based dispute resolution provider. This service is free of charge. If needed, binding arbitration may also be available to settle unresolved issues. Stablemate is subject to the investigatory and enforcement authority of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”).
To contact us about the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Policy, please include your full name, primary email, and a clear description of your question. A qualified team member—not AI or bots—will respond promptly and professionally. Thank you for taking the time to review our policy. We appreciate your trust and wish you well.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to members of our websites or mobile applications who reside in the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA), which includes the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. This law sets out a framework of rights governing how personal data is collected, processed, transferred, and protected. Steady Flow, LLC, doing business as Stablemate ("Stablemate," "we," "us"), is committed to taking all reasonable steps to protect your personal data and ensure ongoing compliance with GDPR requirements. We take privacy seriously and are constantly improving how we protect our members' data in accordance with these regulations. Whether you're a company based in the EU or simply seeking to understand how we handle your data, this GDPR notice addresses our most common practices and member rights.
We follow the GDPR's seven core principles and implement additional safeguards to protect member data while providing a safe, intelligent, and community-driven platform.
GDPR'S SEVEN KEY PRINCIPLES:1. Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency
2. Purpose limitation
3. Data minimization
4. Accuracy
5. Storage limitation
6. Integrity and confidentiality (security)
7. Accountability
These principles are at the core of our approach to processing and protecting personal data.
LEGAL BASISUnder the GDPR, Stablemate must establish a legal basis for collecting personally identifiable information ("PII") from EU and EEA residents.

- Legitimate interest in understanding website usage;
- Legitimate interest in supporting business operations;
- Legitimate interest in ensuring cybersecurity;
- Legitimate interest in fulfilling legal obligations and protecting legal rights; or

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERSPersonal data you provide may be transferred and stored outside the EU or EEA, such as in the United States. This may occur when our systems or personnel operate outside the EEA. Your information is stored on secure servers managed by us or trusted service providers. We take necessary steps to ensure the secure handling of your data across jurisdictions. For example, even if you use our platform primarily in Florida, our infrastructure may operate in other U.S. states. If these conditions change, we will inform our members accordingly. Furthermore, members residing in the U.S. or abroad may update their personal details anytime, in accordance with our platform’s terms, notices, and privacy policies.
DATA RETENTIONWe retain your PII only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in our privacy policies and to comply with legal obligations. Even if you exercise your privacy rights, we may retain certain data for legal, research, or public interest purposes, or to establish or defend legal claims.

WHAT IS STABLEMATE DOING TO COMPLY WITH THE GDPR?We’ve strengthened our technical and organizational controls in the following areas:
DATA SUBJECT RIGHTSWe revised our policies and member-facing pages to explain—clearly and transparently—how personal data is collected, processed, and shared.

SUB-PROCESSOR SERVICE & HEADQUARTERSStripe: Payments, data management – USA

Stablemate honors data access, portability, and deletion requests. Users can request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal data, and may export it in a machine-readable format. We respond promptly and within GDPR timelines.
DATA PROTECTION BY DESIGNPrivacy is embedded into all new features from the start. We track where and how personal data is processed, ensuring visibility and member control.
DATA PROTECTION BY DEFAULTWe only process personal data necessary to operate the platform. Once that purpose ends, data is deleted or pseudonymized.
DATA MINIMIZATIONWe collect only the data necessary for specific processing activities and remove it when no longer required.
SECURITY OF PROCESSINGWe implement layered security, access controls, monitoring tools, audit trails, and role-based authorizations to safeguard data and minimize exposure.
DATA MAPPINGWe conduct ongoing data mapping to understand data flow, processor responsibilities, and ensure all subprocessors comply with GDPR standards.
HOW TO SUBMIT A DATA SUBJECT REQUESTWe are developing tools for members to submit Data Subject Rights (DSR) requests online. For now, members may contact us directly or update their personal information via their Stablemate account. Requests for access, correction, or deletion will be honored promptly.
DATA BREACHIn the event of a data breach, Stablemate will notify the relevant supervisory authority and affected individuals within 72 hours, in line with GDPR requirements.

Before engaging a Sub-processor, we conduct thorough due diligence, including security and legal evaluations. We only partner with providers that meet our professional standards. All Sub-processors are bound by contracts that require compliance with applicable data protection laws and Stablemate’s privacy commitments.

Steady Flow, LLC
Attn: Legal Division
7014 13th Ave, Suite #202,

The course of conduct means two or more acts, including, but not limited to, acts in which the stalker directly, indirectly, or through third parties, by any action, method, device, or means, follows, monitors, observes, surveils, threatens, or communicates to or about a person or interferes with the person’s property. A reasonable person means a reasonable person under similar circumstances and with similar identities to the victim. Stalking of any kind, especially stalking that is sex or gender-based should be reported to law enforcement authorities for investigation.
Labor Trafficking: is a form of modern-day slavery in which individuals perform labor or services through the use of force, fraud, or coercion. Labor trafficking includes situations of debt bondage, forced labor, and involuntary child labor.
Sex Trafficking: A form of modern-day slavery, is also a human rights violation; the action or practice of illegally transporting people from one country or area to another for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
Drug Trafficking: is a global illicit trade involving the cultivation, manufacture, distribution, and sale of substances which are subject to drug prohibition laws
Gun Trafficking or Arms Trafficking: this is a global illicit trade involving the cultivation, manufacture, distribution, and sale of substances that are subject to gun production within an illegal market. In many cases, gun trafficking occurs across state lines, as gun traffickers take advantage of our nation’s gun laws by buying guns in states with weak gun laws and illegally reselling them in states with strong gun laws.
Weapon(s): is defined as a firearm, ammunition, BB or pellet gun, paintball gun, stun gun, compressed air gun or any replica firearm, martial arts weapon, fireworks, explosives, dangerous or highly flammable chemicals, dirk, dagger, samurai katana. ice pick, or knife having a blade longer than 2 1/2 inches (except for a knife or ice pick used for food preparation or consumption or for lawful use in or around a residence), razor with an unguarded blade, razor blade, or box cutter (except for a razor, razor blade or box cutter for lawful use in a residence), or any object when used in a manner or under a circumstance that potentially may or does result in an act of violence or threat of violence. An object otherwise defined above as a weapon is accepted when used for a lawful purpose within the scope of the person’s employment/profession, academic activities, or training purposes.
Fraud: a person or entity's intention to deceive others to result in financial or personal gain, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with overcharging, over billing, claiming accomplishments or qualities not committed; lying to client or customers; using their professions to bully or intimidate clients in manipulative schemes for incentives, developing corporate schemes/shelters/organizations intentionally committing theft by deception amongst clients/customers for profit gains, even if small amounts of money.
Identity theft: occurs when someone uses another person’s personally identifying information, like a person’s name, Social Security number, credit card number, or other financial information, without permission, to commit fraud or other crimes.
Robbery: is a more serious form of larceny that involves the use of force; in fact, robbery is often defined as “larceny of another person by force.” Because violence is typically a component of this form of theft

Theft by Deception: is someone, mostly a licensed professional or entity purposefully obtaining property of any kind from another by deception; the theft and the nature of the deception can greatly vary, and each case is unique. Theft can be schemes from basic legal, medical, or professional billing fraud to non-profit charity scams are common examples of theft by deception.
Bribery: relates to a corrupt benefit given or received to influence official action to afford the giver better than fair treatment; both the person giving and the recipient are guilty of bribery. On the other hand, coercive extortion by a public official is seeking or receiving a corrupt benefit paid under an implicit or explicit threat to give the payer worse than fair treatment or to make the payer worse off. The payee is guilty of extortion; the payer is the victim of extortion. For instance, members of organized criminal groups may do illicit favors or pay judges, jurors, police, or other public officials in exchange for them to “look the other way” and carry out convictions of defendants how the plaintiff sees fit or favors.
Extortion: consists of obtaining property from another through the wrongful use of actual or threatened force, violence, or fear; extortion characterizes the infiltration of legitimate business when organized criminal groups try to force payments from individuals or businesses using threats to avoid worse than fair treatment.
Money laundering: is the processing of criminal proceeds to disguise their illegal origin; For instance, a drug trafficker might buy a restaurant to disguise drug profits with the legitimate profits of the restaurant. In this way, the drug profits are “laundered” through the restaurant to make the income look as if it was earned lawfully. Money laundering is crucial to organized crime operations because offenders would be discovered easily if they could not “merge” their illegal cash into, for instance, a legal business, bank, or real estate.
Harassment: aggressive pressure or intimidation toward one or many individuals; there are many types of harassment: workplace, religion, racial, power, police, psychological, landlord, online, and electronic.
Assault: The definition of assault varies by jurisdiction, but is generally defined as intentionally putting another person in reasonable apprehension of an imminent harmful or offensive contact. Physical injury is not required. Some jurisdictions label assault as an attempted battery.
Rape: The penetration, no matter how slight, of the victim's private parts with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.
Domestic Violence: Commonly referred to as “DV”; also, called intimate partner violence (IPV), domestic abuse or relationship abuse is a pattern of behaviors used by one partner to maintain power and control over another partner in an intimate relationship. Domestic violence does not discriminate. Anyone of any race, age, orientation, religion, or gender can be a victim – or perpetrator – of domestic violence. It can happen to people who are married, living together, working together, or who are dating. It affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels.
Kidnapping: an act or instance or the crime of seizing, confining, inveigling, abducting, or carrying away a person by force or fraud often with a demand for ransom or in furtherance of another crime.
Murder: the unlawful killing of a human being with malice; murder is divided into two degrees. Murder in the first degree is premeditated intentional killing & punishable by death. Murder in the second degree is an intentional killing that is not premeditated.
Homicide is the killing of one person by another; in some instances, homicide may or may not be illegal. While in conflict a soldier/officer may legally commit homicide & in some states, a citizen may kill intruders/trespassers without committing a crime. The justified homicide is considered self-defense under authoritative figures' orders or state laws.
Felony murder occurs during the commission of a felony; all participants in that felony or attempted felony can be charged with and found guilty of murder when someone even their co-conspirators is killed.
Manslaughter is typically treated as a much less severe crime than murder; manslaughter can be broken up into degrees, or categorized as voluntary, involuntary, felony & vehicular manslaughter.
Voluntary manslaughter is the killing of another person under extreme provocation or while under the heat of passion. Typically, it does not require an intent to kill, but rather the intent to do something else.
Felony manslaughter occurs when a person participates in a crime that is not listed in the felony murder statute but somehow someone dies during the crime.
Involuntary Manslaughter usually involves acts of negligence or recklessness that lead to another person’s death.
Vehicular Homicide/Manslaughter is the causing of a person’s death through driving while intoxicated – this crime can be charged on its own or as part of involuntary manslaughter, depending on the laws of a particular state.
In any case, in which the death penalty may be applicable, the United States Attorney must follow the procedures set forth by law. The Attorney General must authorize the United States Attorney to seek the death penalty in any case.

CONDUCT BECOMES UNLAWFUL HARASSMENT WHEN:Enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or
The conduct is enough to create a work or academic environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive. Anti-discrimination laws also prohibit Harassment against individuals in retaliation for filing a discrimination claim, testifying, or participating in any way in an investigation, proceeding, or lawsuit under these laws; or opposing employment practices that they reasonably believe discriminate against individuals, in violation of these laws.

Some kinds of behavior that are intended to harass, while inappropriate and not tolerated on Stablemate mobile application platform, may not be unlawful. These types of behavior may be dealt with for members through the disciplinary process and for employees through supervisory intervention, including the disciplinary process.
In simple terms, the disciplinary and supervisory process is suspension for a certain amount of time. However, to make an accurate judgment as to whether the incidents are unlawful, the full context in which the actions were taken or statements made must be considered. Every complaint is considered based on the totality of the circumstances. A single incident, if severe, may constitute Harassment.
THE FOLLOWING ARE EXAMPLES OF BEHAVIORS THAT MAY CONSTITUTE HARASSMENT:A disabled member is not respected equally to others because of a lack of mobility and is teased or belittled by offensive remarks and commentary.
