If you link your Tinder account to Facebook or other third-party accounts, you authorize Tinder to access, store, and use information from those accounts under the same broad content license.

The clause establishes Tinder's operational rights over user-provided content and third-party data integrated into user accounts. The transferability and sub-licensability provisions permit Tinder to assign these rights to other entities, including through corporate transactions or business arrangements.
Interpretive note: The actual scope of data accessed from third-party accounts depends on permissions granted at the time of connection and the current API policies of those third-party platforms, which may change independently of Tinder's terms.
Users who connect Tinder to Facebook or other platforms are granting Tinder permission to access and use data from those external accounts, which may include profile information, friend lists, or other data depending on the permissions granted at the time of connection.

"By creating an account, you grant to Tinder a worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, right and license to host, store, use, copy, display, reproduce, adapt, edit, publish, modify and distribute information you authorize us to access from third parties such as Facebook, as well as any information you post, upload, display or otherwise make available.— Excerpt from Tinder's Tinder Terms of Use
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Third-party data integration practices engage GDPR Article 6 lawful basis requirements and the principle of purpose limitation for EU users. The FTC Act applies to representations made to users about what data is accessed from third-party accounts. CCPA requires disclosure of personal information collected from third-party sources and gives California users rights over that data. The Cambridge Analytica incident established regulatory and public sensitivity around Facebook data integration by third-party apps. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The scope of third-party data accessed through Facebook or other integrations depends on permissions granted and those platforms' own policies, creating a variable and potentially opaque data collection surface. Users may not fully understand what data Tinder receives from connected accounts. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users have GDPR rights regarding data collected from third-party sources, including rights to access and erasure. California users have CCPA rights regarding third-party sourced personal information. The adequacy of disclosure about third-party data access at the point of account creation should be assessed against applicable transparency requirements in each jurisdiction. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The third-party data integration authorization creates data flows from external platforms into Tinder's systems that must be reflected in data mapping and vendor assessment processes. Any data processing agreements with Facebook or other integration partners should be reviewed to confirm appropriate handling of data shared with Tinder. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should conduct a data mapping exercise covering all third-party integration sources to identify what data flows into Tinder's systems and how it is used and retained. The lawful basis for processing third-party sourced data should be confirmed for EU and UK users. CCPA disclosure requirements for data collected from third-party sources should be verified in Tinder's privacy policy.
