Key Governance Provisions
High Grindr broad license to user content

The license is irrevocable and perpetual, meaning users cannot withdraw it and it does not expire, and Grindr may sublicense and transfer these rights to others.

High Sensitive data processing continues after opt-out

An opt-out does not fully stop data processing; permitted processing under applicable law may continue regardless of the user's opt-out choice.

High Data retention limited to necessary period

This clause establishes a necessity ceiling on retention, but the legal-obligations carve-out means Grindr may retain data beyond the original collection purpose when law permits or requires it.

High All sales final no cancellation discretionary

Users have no guaranteed right to cancel an order; whether a cancellation is accepted is entirely within Grindr's sole and absolute discretion.

High Brazil 7-day right of regret full refund

This clause creates an affirmative right to a full refund for Brazil users within 7 calendar days, overriding Grindr's general no-refund policy.
