Any sharing or sale of personal information will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the disclosures contained in this Privacy Policy.

7. Advertising and Third-Party Tracking

If we introduce advertising, targeted advertising, analytics, or third-party tracking technologies, this Privacy Policy will be updated to explain the relevant practices.

Where applicable law gives you the right to opt out of certain forms of targeted advertising, sale, or sharing of personal information, we will provide the legally required mechanisms for exercising those rights.

We will not represent that information is never shared with third parties if our actual practices involve such sharing.

  • Appropriate database permissions
  • Secure storage
  • Monitoring and logging
  • Security updates
  • Reasonable safeguards for uploaded files

However, no method of transmitting or storing information over the Internet is completely secure.

Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The FTC recommends that app developers build security into their products from the beginning, collect only information they need, restrict access, and securely dispose of information that is no longer needed. We intend to follow these principles as the Service develops.

Specific retention periods may vary depending on the type of information.

10. Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your account through the available account settings or by contacting us through a support ticket.

When you request deletion, we will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify information that we are not required or permitted to retain.

Certain information may need to be retained when reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Prevent fraud
  • Resolve disputes
  • Enforce agreements
  • Protect users
  • Maintain security
  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

Deleting your account may also remove your dating profile and may affect matches, messages, photographs, and other account-related information.

If a request is denied where applicable law provides an appeal process, we will provide information about how to appeal.

15. Children's Privacy

The Service is intended for individuals who are at least 18 years old.

We do not knowingly permit individuals under 18 to use the dating features of the Service.

If you believe that a person under 18 has created an account, please contact us immediately by creating a support ticket on the Support page of the app.

We may investigate and take appropriate action, including removing the account and associated information.

16. User Safety

Dating involves interactions with people you may not know personally.

If the Service requests access to precise device location, we will provide appropriate notice and request permission where required.

You may be able to disable location permissions through your device settings.

If you disable location services, certain features may not function properly.

We will not intentionally display a user's precise residential address to other dating-app users.

Examples may include information concerning:

We encourage users to provide only information they are comfortable sharing.

Payment providers may collect and process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

Our service providers or infrastructure may process or store information in locations outside the state or country where you live.

Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards for applicable cross-border data transfers.
