Data categories

What Personal Data We Collect

A dating platform depends on trustworthy data to keep verification accurate and matching relevant. This policy identifies four categories of personal data we collect and why each one exists.

Account & Profile Details

Name, email address, birth date, gender, your self-written bio, uploaded photos and stated relationship preferences, collected when you register and complete your profile.

Verification Data

Government-issued ID images, selfie verification photos and related document metadata submitted during identity verification.

Communication & Usage Data

Messages exchanged with other members, video call session metadata, saved search filters and general browsing activity within the platform.

Technical & Device Data

IP address, device type, browser identifiers and system log data, collected automatically to keep the platform secure and functioning correctly.

Lawful basis

How and Why We Use Your Data

We rely on more than one lawful basis to process personal data, and each purpose is limited to what is genuinely necessary for that basis - the proportionality principle at the core of modern data protection practice.

Purposes for which personal data is processed and the lawful basis that applies to each one.

Verifying identity and preventing fraud Legitimate interest in community safety and platform integrity.
Sending optional product updates or promotions Consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

Protecting your data

Security, Storage and Breach Notification

Technical and organisational safeguards

We apply technical and organisational measures - encryption in transit, access controls restricted to authorised staff, and regular security reviews - to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss or disclosure. Data is retained only for as long as it serves the purpose it was collected for, after which it is deleted or anonymised. Where a personal data breach is likely to result in a risk to your rights, we notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, consistent with recognised data protection practice.
