This provision creates the contractual basis for data collection and processing activities. It delegates specific data practices to the Privacy Policy rather than defining them within the terms of service itself, requiring users to review the separate privacy document to understand what personal data collection and uses are authorized.
Users implicitly consent to collection of highly sensitive identity and health-related data; the mishandling of this data has already resulted in regulatory enforcement actions against Grindr, including a €6.5 million fine from Norway's data protection authority.
