Users who delete their accounts expecting their data to disappear may be surprised to learn that Tinder retains some of their personal data for an extended period after deletion.
Tinder collects extensive personal data including precise geolocation, sensitive attributes such as sexual orientation and religion, biometric data for photo verification, and private messages, which are shared with corporate affiliates, advertising partners, and law enforcement under defined conditions. Data may be retained for periods after account deletion, and users' behavioral data is used for targeted advertising and automated matching decisions. You can request a copy of your data, ask for deletion, or adjust privacy settings by visiting Tinder's privacy portal at https://account.gotinder.com/data.
