Privacy Policy

Last updated: (set on publish). Draft template — pending legal review.

What we collect

• Account details: email, display name, date of birth, password (hashed).
• Profile data: bio, interests, gender, pronouns, and optionally sexual orientation and lifestyle details.
• Your seven-second video.
• Approximate location (coarse — we do not store or display precise coordinates).
• Usage and device information for safety and anti-abuse.

Sensitive data

Some fields — notably sexual orientation — are special-category data under UK GDPR. These are optional, default to private, and are only shown to others if you choose to make them public. We process them on the basis of your explicit consent, which you can withdraw by editing or removing the data.

How we use it

To run matching and the discovery feed according to your preferences, to keep the community safe, to send account/verification emails, and to improve the service.

Who sees your data

Other users see only the profile fields you set to public. We do not sell your personal data. We use service providers (e.g. email delivery) under appropriate agreements.

Your rights

You can access, correct, export, or delete your data, and object to or restrict certain processing. Contact privacy@vybes.date. You can also complain to the ICO.

Retention

We keep your data while your account is active and for a limited period afterward as required for safety, legal, and anti-abuse purposes.
