What we gather

Information We Collect

We collect only what is genuinely useful for matching, safety and service delivery. Everything you share falls into three simple groups.

Information you provide

Your profile details, photos, preferences and the verification photo you submit when you choose to confirm your identity. You control what appears publicly and what stays private.

Information created by using the service

Basic activity such as messages sent, matches made and profile views, tracked to keep the platform running smoothly and to support moderation - never the content of private conversations shared elsewhere.

Technical information

Device type, browser and cookie data that keep your session secure and remember your preferences. See our Cookie Policy for the full breakdown and your settings.

Purpose

How We Use Your Information

We use the information above for a small number of clearly defined purposes.

  • Matching and discovery - surfacing profiles, filters and search results that reflect the preferences you have set.

  • Verification and fraud prevention - confirming identity photos and watching for patterns associated with phishing links or requests for banking details, so fewer members ever encounter a scam.

  • Service communications - sending the account, safety and billing-related notices you need to use the platform.

  • Safety moderation - reviewing reports and enforcing our community standards to keep the membership genuine.

We do not sell your profile details to third parties, and you decide what appears on your public profile at every step.

Your controls

Your Privacy Rights and Controls

Discretion is a right you should be able to exercise at any time, not a favor we grant. Four controls are always available to you.

Access and correction

Review the information on your profile and update or correct it whenever your circumstances change.

Delete your account

Close your profile and remove it from active matching whenever you choose, no explanation required.

Visibility and discretion tools

Use private photo albums, a hidden profile mode and block lists to decide exactly who can see you.

Communication preferences

Choose which notices and editorial emails you receive, and opt out of anything non-essential.

For any privacy request, reach our team through Contact, or review related questions on our FAQ page.

How We Protect Your Data

We apply encryption in transit, restrict internal access to the data that operations genuinely require, and keep moderation oversight active across the community. No system is infallible, so a few habits protect you further than any policy can.

  • Encryption in transit safeguards your data as it moves between your device and our servers.
  • Access is restricted internally, with moderation and support oversight limited to what each role needs.
  • Never share identity documents, banking credentials or one-time codes inside chat - legitimate requests never require them, and doing so is the most common route to identity theft.
  • Treat unexpected verification or payment links with caution; genuine services never ask you to log in through a message link before you can receive money.
