What we collect, why, and who can see it. Plain and simple.

Account details: username, email, phone number and birth date.
Verification: a photo of your government ID and a camera selfie. We keep only a scrambled (hashed) version of your ID number, never the raw number.
Location: your device GPS when you verify location, plus the state your internet connection points to. Used for city rooms, distance and safety checks.
Profile: photo, bio, city, age group and what you're here for.
Activity: room messages, private chats, chat requests, reports, blocks and support tickets.
Device and safety signals: device IDs and the state your internet connection comes from, to stop banned members from coming back.
Payments: handled by Stripe. We see your plan, status and the last 4 digits of your card, never your full card number.
