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 (the "Website"), and other related services (collectively, the "Service").
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.
For clarity: SophieConnects is not a dating service and not a social media platform. SophieConnects exists to help find like-minded people and join group activities offline, not online.
