Our take
SDC is a large community for swingers, open couples and singles in the lifestyle. Beyond profiles and messaging, the site carries party and club listings, groups and guides, so it works as much as a lifestyle hub as a dating site. For members outside the US, its terms name SDC Ventures LTD in the Netherlands.
Joining is free, with paid plans for full access. We did not find prices on a public page. The terms say recurring billing is switched on by default and plans renew automatically for the period you chose.
The terms are blunt about money: no refunds for any prepaid part of a membership if it is terminated, and refunds otherwise only at the staff's discretion. Cancel in good time.
Who runs it: SDC Ventures LTD, according to SDC's own terms.

SDC: questions people ask
Does deleting the SDC app cancel my membership?
No. Removing the app does not stop billing. Cancel in Account information on the website, or in Apple or Google subscriptions if you paid through a store.
Can I get a refund from SDC?
The terms say SDC has a no-refund policy and no refund is given for any prepaid part of a membership; any refund is at the staff's discretion. Contact helpdesk@sdc.com if you think a charge is wrong.
How long does SDC keep my data after I delete my account?
The privacy policy says complete data deletion happens after 7 days, and you can request deletion by email or through the GDPR form on the site.
