Sensitive Personal Data Collection

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

This is some of the most private information about a person, and its collection and potential exposure through data breaches or third-party sharing creates meaningful personal safety and discrimination risks.

Consumer impact

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.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Visit https://account.gotinder.com/data, log in with your Tinder credentials, and submit a data deletion request to remove sensitive personal information from Tinder's systems.
