3. Content Moderation
To protect our community, messages are automatically scanned for prohibited content including phone numbers, email addresses, and attempts to circumvent platform safety guidelines. Messages that violate our guidelines may be blocked or have personal information redacted. We do this to keep conversations safe and on-platform.
4. How We Share Your Information
4.1 With Other Members
Your profile information (name, age, photos, city, country, headline, bio, interests, and lifestyle details) is visible to other members of the Service. Messages are only visible to you and the recipient.
4.2 With Service Providers
We share information with third-party service providers who help us operate the Service:
| Provider | Purpose | Data Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Azure | Hosting, database, media storage | All platform data |
| Amazon Web Services (SES) | Transactional email delivery | Email addresses |

4.3 We Do Not Sell Your Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.
4.4 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you request account deletion, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal, fraud prevention, or dispute resolution purposes.
Messages and media are retained while both participants have active accounts. Deleted conversations are removed from your view but may be retained on the other participant's account until they also delete the conversation.
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:
- Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS) for all communications
- Hashed and salted passwords — we never store passwords in plain text
- JWT-based authentication with short-lived access tokens (15 minutes) and rotating refresh tokens
- Encrypted session storage for the web application
- Private media storage with time-limited access URLs
- Perceptual photo hashing for duplicate and abuse detection
While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
