Even after you delete your Hinge account, your personal data — including sensitive profile information and chat content — may be retained by the company for an unspecified additional period, limiting your ability to truly erase your digital footprint.
Hinge collects extensive personal data including sensitive categories such as sexual orientation, health information, and biometric face geometry, which is shared across Match Group's portfolio of apps and with third-party advertising partners. Users who are banned from any Match Group service may have their data shared across the entire group, and behavioral profiling and automated decision-making are used to recommend matches and serve targeted ads. You can exercise data access, deletion, or correction rights by submitting a request through Hinge's in-app settings or privacy request portal.
