What it is

Tinder shares data with third-party advertising partners and may allow those partners to collect data directly through the app for targeted advertising purposes.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The clause establishes a data processing mechanism where personal identifiers are transformed into non-personal identifiers for advertising segmentation purposes, enabling both negative targeting (exclusions) and lookalike audience targeting without direct personal identification.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Third-party advertisers may receive or collect your Tinder behavioral data for ad targeting, which could result in sensitive inferences being made about your personal life being shared with parties outside of Tinder's control.

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.
  • Export Your Data
    California residents can exercise their right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information by visiting Tinder's privacy settings within the app or at https://account.gotinder.com/data and selecting the relevant opt-out option.

Some of our advertising partners enable us to transform your email address, advertising identifiers or phone number into an identifier that can't be used to identify you personally and then use that unique identifier to either exclude you from our marketing campaigns, or to target our ads at an audience that is similar to you in terms of background, interests or app usage.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

The sharing of user data with advertising partners for behavioral targeting implicates CCPA/CPRA opt-out rights for California residents and GDPR consent requirements for EU users; legal teams should assess whether current consent mechanisms and opt-out pathways satisfy regulatory requirements.
