Precise location data on a dating app can create personal safety risks, including enabling stalking or harassment, particularly for vulnerable users.
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.
