What it is

Hinge has a separate Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy for users in Washington and Nevada, reflecting those states' specific laws about how health-related personal data collected by consumer apps must be handled.

This analysis describes what Hinge's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The provision creates a tiered privacy framework in which certain jurisdictions receive enhanced data protections through a separate governing document. This bifurcated structure means privacy obligations and data handling practices differ based on user location, requiring Hinge to maintain and apply multiple privacy standards simultaneously.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you live in Washington or Nevada, you have additional legal rights over how Hinge processes data that could be considered health-related — including potentially information about sexual orientation or activity. You should review the separate Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy available at hinge.co/consumer-health-data-privacy-policy.

— Excerpt from Hinge's Hinge Privacy Policy

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

Washington's My Health MY Data Act (effective 2023-2024) imposes stringent requirements on consumer health data beyond HIPAA's scope, including consent for collection, a right to deletion, and prohibition on selling health data without authorization. Nevada's SB 370 has similar provisions. Compliance exposure is significant for dating apps processing data that may be classified as consumer health data under these broad statutory definitions.
