This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This policy establishes Tinder's collection, use, and disclosure practices for personal information provided by users, including sensitive categories such as sexual orientation, relationship preferences, location data, messages, and behavioral inferences. The policy authorizes sharing of collected personal information with Match Group affiliated companies, advertising partners, and third-party service providers. Users in EU, UK, and California jurisdictions are granted specific rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of their personal information through in-app settings or by contacting privacy@team.tinder.com.
This document is Tinder's global privacy policy, governing the collection, processing, and sharing of personal data for users of the Tinder dating application and related services operated by Match Group, LLC; the policy asserts multiple legal bases for processing depending on jurisdiction, including consent, legitimate interests, and contractual necessity. The policy states that Tinder collects an extensive range of data including profile information, location data, device identifiers, usage activity, messages, photos, inferences about preferences, and sensitive categories such as sexual orientation and health data voluntarily disclosed by users, and the terms authorize sharing this data with other Match Group companies, service providers, advertising partners, and third parties for safety, legal compliance, and business purposes. The collection of sensitive personal data including sexual orientation and health-related information, combined with the breadth of sharing with advertising partners and other Match Group affiliates, is operationally distinct in scope relative to many consumer app privacy policies, though the document asserts that sensitive data is only processed with explicit consent where required; in practice, the enforceability and adequacy of consent mechanisms may vary by jurisdiction. The policy explicitly engages GDPR and UK GDPR for EU and UK residents, CCPA and CPRA for California residents, and references additional regional frameworks, with the document designating MTCH Technology Services Limited as the data controller for EEA and UK users and Match Group, LLC for all other users; material compliance considerations include the lawfulness of processing sensitive categories of personal data under GDPR Article 9, the adequacy of consent mechanisms for cross-context behavioral advertising under CPRA, and the scope of data sharing within the Match Group corporate family.
