Hinge collects your precise GPS location (latitude and longitude) from your device if you grant permission. Refusing permission means some location-based features will be unavailable.
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
The clause operationalizes geolocation data collection as a permission-based system, making access to location-dependent features contingent on user authorization. This structure allows Hinge to condition certain service functionality on geolocation data collection while preserving user choice to decline.
If you allow Hinge to access your precise location, the app continuously tracks where you are and uses this to match you with nearby users and potentially for advertising purposes. You can deny or revoke location permissions in your device settings to limit this, though some features will be restricted.
