Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect several types of information so adults can chat, share photos and connect over shared interests:
Account Data: email and date of birth
Profile Data: Photos, videos, gender, interests, preferences
Usage Data: How you interact with the app, who you talk with, messages
Device Data: Device ID, model, and settings
Location Data (optional): only if you turn it on, to sort by distance and show rounded distances. You can turn it off in Settings, which deletes the location we have stored
Notifications (optional): if you turn them on, an identifier of your device to tell you about new messages and comments
Bug reports: what you write and the technical details the app adds (device, browser, language and page)
Signup source: the link, ad or site that brought you (utm parameters, the ad click ID and the referring site), so we know which channels bring people

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data helps us connect people who share interests:
Show you people and posts with interests in common
Improve how we suggest people and posts with shared interests
Protect our community from fake accounts and abuse
Review reported messages and content
Send you updates about messages and comments
Analyze trends to improve the service

3. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We're careful about sharing your data:
Other users see only what you choose to show in your profile
Service providers help us with hosting, analytics, and security
Push notifications are delivered by Expo, Apple, Google or your browser’s push service, without the text of your messages or comments
We may share data if required by law or to protect rights
We never sell your personal data to third parties

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, but no system is 100% secure. We:
Regularly monitor for security threats
Limit employee access to user data
Maintain security protocols for data handling
Remove location and camera metadata (EXIF/GPS) from the photos and videos you upload

5. Your Rights and Control

You have control over your data:
Access and download your personal data
Correct or update your information
Delete your account and data
Object to certain data processing
Control your privacy settings in the app

6. Data Retention

We keep your data only as long as necessary:
Active accounts: As long as you use the service
Original files of your uploads: deleted once we create the versions shown in the app
Private album photos sent in a chat: visible for 12 hours after you send them, or until you unsend them; they stay in your album
Unsent messages: the text and photo are erased for both people; we only keep that a message existed and when it was sent and unsent
Reported messages: when someone reports a message, we keep a private copy (text, photo or video) for our moderation team, even if it is unsent later or the account is deleted, for as long as needed to review the report and meet our legal obligations
Bug reports: kept to improve the service; if you delete your account, they are no longer linked to you
Deleted accounts: deleted immediately and permanently, including photos and messages, except reported messages and the content described below
Content under review or flagged for legal reasons is preserved as required by law, even if you ask to delete it

7. Age Restriction

Our service is strictly for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

We'll notify you of significant changes to this policy and give you time to review them before they take effect.
