> CRITICAL_PRIVACY_PROTOCOLS
EMAIL REQUIRED
Email addresses are required for account creation, multi-factor authentication, and security verification. We do not display your email on your profile.
FIREBASE BACKEND
The Service is built upon Google's secure Firebase infrastructure, including the Firestore database, for robust and reliable data management.
COORDINATE STORAGE
Precise coordinates are encrypted and stored in Firestore to power our core matching and discovery features. You have control over location sharing in your settings.
ADMOB INTEGRATION
Google AdMob is integrated to provide advertising revenue, which keeps core features of the app free. We utilize Google's privacy controls, and you can manage ad personalization in your device settings.
> LEGAL_BASIS_FOR_PROCESSING (GDPR)
We only process your personal data when we have a valid legal basis. Our primary bases are:
Performance of a Contract:
The majority of our data processing is essential to provide the Service you signed up for. This includes using your profile information and location to show you potential matches and enable messaging.
Consent:
For specific features, such as processing sensitive data like sexual orientation or enabling marketing notifications, we will ask for your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Legitimate Interest:
We process some data for our legitimate interests, such as for security purposes (fraud prevention, banning bad actors), analytics to improve the app, and to ensure the safety of our community, provided these interests do not override your rights and freedoms.
Legal Obligation:
We may be required to process data to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, such as responding to a lawful request from law enforcement.
