Privacy Policy
Draft. This policy is under review and is not yet in effect.
This policy explains what information the Made For Me dating app collects, how we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and the choices you have. Made For Me is operated by Made For You LLC (“we”, “us”), [COMPANY ADDRESS]. You can reach us at info@made4me.me.
Made For Me is available only to adults aged 18 or older in the United States.
1. Information we collect
Account information
- Email address and password. Used to create and sign in to your account. Passwords are handled by Firebase Authentication and are never stored by us in readable form.
- Birth date. Required to confirm that you are 18 or older and to work out your zodiac sign and element, which the app uses for compatibility. Your birth date cannot be changed after sign-up. If the birth date you enter shows you are under 18, the account is deleted straight away.
- Terms acceptance. The date you accepted our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and which version you accepted.
Profile information
- First name.
- Gender (woman, man, non-binary, or a description you write yourself) and the people you want to see (women, men, non-binary people, or everyone).
- Two to four profile photos.
- A bio of up to 500 characters.
- Your answers to the compatibility questions.
- Optional details you choose to add: work, education, hometown and height.
Your bio, gender description and optional details are information you choose to share. Please do not include anything you do not want other members to see.
Activity in the app
- Likes (including the strength of a like) and passes on other members’ profiles.
- Matches, the messages you send and receive, and reactions to messages.
- Members you block or unblock.
- Reports you submit (the reason and any details you write) and reports made about you.
- Your notification settings for matches, messages and safety updates.
- When you tap a Premium feature, which feature you tapped and when, so we can measure interest in it.
- A small set of usage events stored with your account ID and the time: account created, onboarding completed, zodiac sign revealed, Premium screen viewed, profile liked, profile passed, match created and message sent. These events do not contain your birth date, zodiac sign, element, gender, preferences, message content or photos.
Device and technical information
- Push notification token. If you allow notifications, we store your device’s push token and whether it is an iPhone or Android device, so we can send you notifications.
- Service logs. Our servers keep operational logs that include your account ID, the action requested and the time. Our hosting provider processes your IP address to deliver the service.
- Crash and error reports. If the app or our servers hit an error, we collect a diagnostic report (for example the device model, operating system version, app version and what went wrong).
Photos
Photos you upload are stored privately and are never publicly accessible. The versions other members see are resized copies from which embedded metadata, such as camera details and GPS location, has been removed. Photos are shown to other members only through links that expire after a short time.
2. Information we do not collect
- We do not collect your device’s location.
- We do not access your contacts.
- We do not collect advertising identifiers and do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
- We do not process payments. The app does not offer in-app purchases at launch.
- We do not sell your personal information or share it for targeted advertising.
3. How we use information
- To create and run your account and keep you signed in.
- To confirm you are an adult.
- To calculate compatibility from zodiac signs and question answers, and to order the profiles you see. You are only shown to, and matched with, members whose preferences and yours match each other.
- To create matches and deliver messages and reactions.
- To send the notifications you have turned on.
- To keep members safe: reviewing reports, enforcing our Terms of Service, warning, suspending or banning accounts, limiting how fast actions can be repeated, and preventing abuse.
- To answer your support requests.
- To understand, in aggregate, how the app is used and which features members want, and to fix problems.
- To comply with the law and respond to valid legal requests.
We do not use automated decisions to suspend or ban accounts. A member of our safety team reviews reports and decides what action to take.
4. What other members can see
Members who are shown your profile can see your first name, age, zodiac sign and element, photos, bio, compatibility answers and any optional details you added. Your email address, birth date and gender are not shown on your profile. Members you match with can also see the messages and reactions you send them.
Members with Premium access may see a detailed compatibility breakdown with you and a list of members who liked them, which can include you if you liked them.
5. Who we share information with
