Privacy Policy
Policy Preamble
This Privacy Protocol ("Policy") outlines how Utopian Creations LLC ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, processes, and safeguards your information on the LezFindr Dating Platform ("Service"). By creating an account, you agree to the protocols outlined in this document. Our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and private space for our community.
Effective Date: August 10, 2026
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.
WHERE YOUR DATA LIVES
Your profile, messages, and activity are stored in a Neon PostgreSQL database hosted in the United States. Photos and media are stored in Cloudflare R2. Sign-in is handled by Google Firebase Authentication. The full list of companies that process data on our behalf is in the Service Providers section below.
COORDINATE STORAGE
Precise coordinates are stored encrypted and used only to power distance-based discovery. You control location sharing in your settings and can turn it off at any time.
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.
Data Collection Protocols
Profile Data (Provided by You)
- ▶Photos and profile information you choose to share
- ▶Age, bio, interests, and preferences
- ▶Sexual orientation and gender identity (optional, handled with explicit consent)
- ▶Your chosen name and pronouns
Verification System (Automated & Manual)
- • On-device AI performs initial age/identity checks on a photo you provide for verification
- • Failed automated checks trigger a manual review by our trained moderation team
- • Photos are deleted IMMEDIATELY after automated verification is complete
- • For manual review cases, photos are retained for a maximum of 30 days for quality assurance and appeal purposes before being permanently deleted
- • Only the final verification status (verified or not-verified) is retained, never the photos themselves
Age Verification and Compliance (Third-Party Processor)
To comply with state laws regarding age verification (including but not limited to Texas SB 2420, Utah SB 152, and Louisiana HB 64), we utilize a third-party service provider, AgeVerif.
When you undergo age verification:
- 1. You will be redirected to AgeVerif's secure platform.
- 2. AgeVerif may collect and process identity documents, biometric data, or other personal information solely for the purpose of verifying your age.
- 3. LezFindr does not store your ID photos or biometric data. We only receive and store a digital "token" or signal confirming that your age has been successfully verified.
- 4. For more information on how AgeVerif handles your data, please review their Privacy Policy.
Location & Activity Data (Generated by Use)
- ◆Precise coordinates stored encrypted and used for distance-based discovery
- ◆Sparks sent/received (tapping profiles)
- ◆Messages (transmitted over secure encrypted connections)
- ◆Profile views and favorites activity
- ◆Reporting and blocking actions
Technical & Usage Data (Collected Automatically)
- ▶Device Identifiers & IP Address: For security, analytics, and advertising
- ▶App Usage Analytics: Crash reports, performance data, feature interaction logs. This helps us debug and improve the app

Data Sharing Restrictions
DATA USAGE & COMMERCE
We do not sell your data. LezFindr will never sell, rent, or trade your private personal information (email, messages, private photos) to third parties for their marketing purposes.
MARKETING:
We do not use your photos, your profile, or anything else that identifies you in our marketing. App Store screenshots and social posts use mock profiles we created for that purpose. If we ever want to feature a real member, we will ask you first and you can say no. Being on LezFindr says something about you that is yours to share, not ours.
Limited Sharing Scenarios:
Other Users
Only the profile information you choose to make visible
Service Providers
We engage third-party companies to perform services on our behalf. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and may only use it to provide their service to us. We update this list when it changes.
| Provider | What they process | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Neon | Primary database: profiles, messages, activity, location | United States |
| Cloudflare | Media storage, application hosting, real-time chat delivery | Global edge network |
| Google Firebase | Authentication, push notifications, crash reporting, analytics | United States |
| Google AdMob | Advertising and advertising measurement | United States |
| AppLovin, Liftoff Monetize, InMobi | Advertising demand partners via AdMob mediation | United States |
| RevenueCat | Subscription and entitlement status | United States |

| Google Maps | Map rendering when you view a map | United States |
| AgeVerif | Age verification where required by law | See their policy |
| Apple App Store, Google Play | Payment processing. We never see or store card details | Per store |
Content moderation runs on infrastructure we operate ourselves. Your photos and messages are not sent to a third-party moderation vendor.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if reasonably necessary: (a) to comply with a legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; (b) to assist in the prevention or detection of crime (subject to applicable law); or (c) to protect the safety of any person
Corporate Transactions
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in control
Advertising and Your Choices
Ads keep LezFindr free to download, verify, match, and chat. Premium removes them.
Who serves our ads
We use Google AdMob, along with AppLovin, Liftoff Monetize, and InMobi as demand partners through AdMob mediation. You can read how Google uses data from apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Advertising identifiers
Advertising uses a resettable device identifier (the Advertising ID on Android, the IDFA on iOS) rather than your name or email. You can reset or limit it in your device settings at any time.
If you are in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland
We ask for your consent before any personalised advertising, using Google's certified consent tool. You can accept, refuse, or choose individual purposes. Refusing does not remove ads. It means you see non-personalised ads instead, which are based on general context rather than your activity.
Changing your mind
You can change or withdraw your advertising consent at any time from Settings, under Privacy options. Withdrawing is as easy as giving consent, and it applies from the moment you change it.
If you are in the United States
Some US state laws treat personalised advertising as "sharing" personal information, even though no money changes hands and we never sell your data. You can opt out of that sharing in Settings, under Privacy options. Sexual orientation is treated as sensitive personal information under these laws, and you can ask us to limit its use by emailing privacy@lezfindr.com.
User Rights Matrix
You have control over your data. You can exercise the following rights at any time.
Access & Control
Data Portability & Objection
To exercise any of these rights, use the tools in the app or contact us at privacy@lezfindr.com.
If you are in the EEA or the UK and you believe we have handled your data wrongly, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. We would rather hear from you first so we can put it right, but that route is always open to you.
Data Retention Schedule
We keep your personal information only as long as we need it for legitimate business purposes and as permitted by applicable law.
Active Accounts:
Your data is retained for the duration of your active account to provide the Service.
Account Deletion:
When you delete your account, we initiate a deletion process. Your profile is no longer visible on the Service. We delete the information from our active systems according to our protocol, typically within 30 days, unless a longer retention period is required.
Post-Deletion Retention:
We may retain limited data for up to three years after account deletion for safety, security, and legal reasons. This includes transaction records, authentication identifiers, and a record of the deletion itself to prevent banned users from creating new accounts and to comply with legal obligations. This data is isolated from production systems.

As our Service evolves, we may update this Policy. If we make material changes, we will notify you through an in-app notification or by other means before the changes take effect, so that you have an opportunity to review them.
