Summary

Tinder's Privacy Policy explains what data Tinder collects about you, how long it keeps it, and who it shares it with — including advertising partners and, in some cases, law enforcement. If you use verification features, Tinder collects face geometry data and deletes it within 30 days (with exceptions). You can opt out of certain advertising uses of your data if you live in the US and Tinder is using your data for those purposes.

Analysis

This Privacy Policy establishes Tinder's data collection, retention, sharing, and enforcement practices for its platform, which is restricted to users 18 and older. Tinder collects face geometry data through verification features, treats voluntary submission of sensitive data (including sexual orientation, health, and political beliefs) as consent to its use, and retains transaction data for 10 years and Face Data for up to 30 days subject to legal and safety exceptions. User data is shared with advertising partners via direct provision or third-party collection through cookies, SDKs, and similar technologies, with law enforcement under qualifying legal processes, and across the Match Group ecosystem to enforce platform bans. US residents hold a conditional right to opt out of targeted advertising, sales, or sharing of their data where applicable law provides it.

What this means for you

Tinder collects face geometry data when you use verification features, keeps transaction data for 10 years, and will automatically close your account after two years of inactivity. If you voluntarily share sensitive information such as your sexual orientation, health details, or political beliefs, Tinder treats that act as your consent to use that data as described in the policy. If you are a US resident and Tinder uses your data for targeted advertising, sales, or sharing, you can opt out of those activities by exercising the right described in the policy.
