Last updated: 20 October 2026

What we collect

  • Account details: username, email, password (stored only as a secure hash), country.
  • Profile details you choose to add: name, photo, bio, city, birth year, gender and dating preferences.
  • Content: posts, comments, messages, groups and ads.
  • Technical data: IP address and basic device information, used for security, spam prevention and statistics.

How we use it

  • To run the service: show your profile and posts, deliver messages and notifications.
  • To keep the community safe: detect spam, fraud and abuse.
  • To send emails about activity on your account. You can turn these off in Settings.

Who can see what

  • Your profile is public unless you choose "Only logged-in members" in Settings, Privacy.
  • Your email address is never shown publicly. Your birth year is never shown, only your age when dating is on.
  • Private messages are visible only to you and the person you're talking to, and to moderators when investigating a report.

Sharing

We don't sell your personal data. We use service providers (hosting, email delivery, visitor statistics) that process data on our behalf.

Your choices

You can edit or delete your posts and profile at any time, and delete your account from Settings, Account.
