At Vibe24, your privacy is our priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our mobile application.
1. Information We Collect
To help you find meaningful connections, we need to collect some information about you:
Account Data: Name, email address, phone number, and date of birth (to verify you are 18+).
Profile Information: Photos, gender, dating preferences, interests, and bio details you choose to share.
Sensitive Data: You may choose to provide information about your sexual orientation, ethnicity, or religious beliefs. By providing this, you consent to our processing of this "special category" data to improve your matches.
Location Data: With your permission, we collect precise geolocation data to show you matches nearby.
Usage Data: We collect information about your activity on the app (e.g., profiles liked/skipped, messages sent).
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your data to:
Create and maintain your Vibe24 account.
Provide our matchmaking algorithm with the data needed to suggest compatible partners.
Enable communication between you and other users.
Ensure safety by monitoring for fraudulent or abusive behavior.
Improve app performance and develop new features.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal data. We only share information:
With Other Users: Your public profile information is visible to other Vibe24 users.
With Service Providers: We use third-party vendors for cloud hosting, analytics, and security audits (e.g., Google Cloud, Firebase).
Legal Requirements: If required by law, we may disclose information to protect our users or comply with legal processes.
4. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR in Europe, CCPA/CPRA in California), you have the following rights:
Access & Portability: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
Correction: Edit your profile information directly in the app settings.
Deletion: You can delete your account at any time. Once deleted, your profile is hidden, and your data is scheduled for permanent erasure (subject to legal retention periods).
Consent Withdrawal: You can toggle off location services or push notifications in your device settings.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard encryption and security protocols to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to keep your login credentials private.
6. Age Restricting
Vibe24 is strictly for users 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we discover a minor has created an account, it will be terminated immediately.
