Match Group Cross-App Data Sharing (Including Banned User Data)

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

Your data and account history on Hinge may be visible to and used by other dating apps you've never signed up for, and a ban on one platform can affect your ability to use entirely separate Match Group services.

Consumer impact

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.
