Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 29, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how ReallyDate LLC ("ReallyDate," "we," "us") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the ReallyDate mobile app (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to this policy. The Service is only for adults aged 18 and older.
1. Information You Give Us
- Account details: name, email address, password (stored only in scrambled, hashed form), date of birth, and gender.
- Profile content: photos, bio, city or area, interests, languages, food preferences, relationship types, and your answers to our compatibility questions.
- Preferences: the search filters and matching preferences you set, including the genders you are interested in.
- Messages and activity: messages you send to matches, likes, favorites, Blind Date requests, availability, and reviews.
- Safety and support: reports and blocks you make, reports made about you, and feedback or support messages you send us.
Some of this information, such as the genders you are interested in or relationship details, may reveal sensitive information such as your sexual orientation. By choosing to provide it, you consent to our processing it to provide the Service.
2. Information Collected Automatically
- Device and push data: device type, operating system, and a push-notification token if you allow notifications.
- Location: if you allow location access, we use your device's GPS coordinates to work out how far away other members are and to show you people nearby. We use this only to calculate an approximate distance. Your precise coordinates are never shown to other members and are never shared with them — other members only ever see a rounded, approximate distance (for example "~5 miles away"). You can turn location access off at any time in your device settings; if you do, we simply cannot sort or filter profiles by distance.
- Advertising data: the app shows ads through Google AdMob. Google may collect your device's advertising identifier, IP address, and information about ad views and taps, and may use it to show and measure ads. You can reset or limit ad tracking in your device settings (on iPhone: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking; on Android: Settings → Google → Ads).
- Subscription data: if you buy Premium, Apple or Google processes the payment and RevenueCat tells us whether your subscription is active. We do not receive or store your card details.
- Technical logs: our servers keep basic logs (such as request times and errors) to run and secure the Service.
3. How We Use Information
- To create and run your account and show your profile to other users.
- To suggest matches, run searches, and arrange Blind Date suggestions.
- To deliver messages and send notifications you have allowed.
- To process and check Premium subscriptions.
- To keep the community safe: automatically check uploaded photos for nudity or sexual content, review reports, enforce our Terms (including the 3-strike photo policy), and prevent fraud and abuse.
- To show ads, respond to support requests, fix problems, and improve the Service.
- To follow the law and protect the rights and safety of ReallyDate, our users, and others.
4. Automated Photo Checking
When you upload a photo, it is analyzed automatically on our own servers to detect nudity or sexual content. Your photos are not sent to an outside company for this check. Photos identified as explicit are rejected and deleted, photos the system is unsure about are reviewed by our team, and rejected photos count toward the 3-strike policy described in our Terms. If you think a decision was wrong, email [email protected].
5. How Information Is Shared
We do not sell your personal information.
- With other users: your profile (name, age, approved photos, bio, city or area, interests, and other profile details) is visible to other users. Your messages are visible to the people you send them to.
- With service providers: companies that help us run the Service, including cloud hosting and storage providers, Apple and Google (app distribution, payments, push notifications), RevenueCat (subscriptions), and Google AdMob (ads). They may only use the information to provide their services, or as described in their own privacy policies.
- For legal and safety reasons: when we believe in good faith that it is needed to comply with the law or a legal request, to enforce our Terms, or to protect anyone's safety. This includes reporting suspected child exploitation to the authorities.
- In a business transfer: if ReallyDate is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that deal.
6. How Long We Keep Information
We keep your information while your account is active. When you delete your account in Settings, we permanently delete your profile, photos, messages, matches, and other account data from our live systems right away. Messages already delivered to other users' devices, and copies held by service providers under their own policies, may remain for a limited time. Server logs are kept only as long as needed to run and secure the Service.
7. Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and access controls. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You use the Service at your own risk and are responsible for keeping your password safe.
8. Your Choices and Rights
- View and edit your profile at any time in the app.
- Delete photos from your profile, or delete your whole account in Settings → Delete My Account.
- Turn notifications on or off in the app's Settings or in your device settings.
- Limit ad tracking in your device settings.
Depending on where you live (for example, California or the European Economic Area), you may have additional rights, such as asking what personal information we hold about you or asking us to correct or delete it. To make a request, email [email protected] from the email address on your account. We will not treat you differently for using your privacy rights.
9. Adults Only
The Service is not for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a user is under 18, we will delete the account.
10. International Users
ReallyDate is based in the United States, and your information is processed and stored in the United States, where data protection laws may be different from those in your country.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. If we do, we will change the "Last updated" date, and for material changes we may also give notice in the app. If you keep using the Service after an update, you accept the updated policy.
