Hinge made six small updates to its privacy policy on May 1, 2026, mostly to fix grammatical and formatting issues. The updates changed 'you may photos' to 'you share photos,' corrected a typo in the data retention section (removing an extra '6'), fixed a punctuation error in the Brazil contact information (using encoded email format '[arroba]' and '[ponto]' instead of standard symbols), and corrected a misspelled word 'c contact' to 'can contact' regarding state attorney general appeals. These are primarily editorial corrections with no material changes to consumer rights or data handling practices.
These changes are primarily editorial corrections and do not materially affect consumer privacy rights or data handling practices. The policy now correctly states that users 'share' photos and other content, clarifies that customer care exchanges are retained for five years (not 'five 6 years'), and fixes the contact information for Brazil residents and those seeking to appeal privacy requests. No action is needed in response to these updates.
These corrections improve clarity and accuracy of Hinge's privacy disclosures without changing the substance of consumer rights or data handling practices. The corrected retention period (five years, not 'five 6 years') removes ambiguity about how long customer care data is kept, and the fixed appeal language ensures residents of specified US states clearly understand their right to contact their state attorney general.
