1. Information We Collect
We collect several types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our App:
Information you provide directly:
Registration details: Email address (for login via link, Google, or Apple Sign-In).
Profile details: Your first name, date of birth (for age calculation and verification), height, district of residence, gender, gender you are seeking, preferred age range of partner.
Onboarding responses: Your preferences and answers to questions about lifestyle, interests, opinions, relationship expectations, habits (e.g., smoking, alcohol), body type and partner body type preferences, love language, sense of humor, etc. This information is used to create your profile and to match you with compatible users.
Profile photo: The photo you upload for your public profile during onboarding.
Verification photos: Photos taken during the identity verification process (e.g., with hand gestures) used to confirm that the profile photo matches the real person. We require access to your device’s camera (android.permission.CAMERA) to take these photos.
Communication: If you contact us (e.g., via email for support), we may retain a record of that communication.
Information collected automatically:
Firebase identifiers: Unique Firebase Authentication User ID (UID).
Usage and device data (via Firebase SDK): We may collect information about how you access and use the App, including device information (e.g., hardware model, OS version), log information, IP address (which may be used to estimate general location), access dates and times, viewed features, and any app crashes (via Firebase Crashlytics), as well as anonymized usage analytics (via Google Analytics for Firebase) to improve the App.
FCM Token: A unique token used to send push notifications (if enabled).
In-app purchase (IAP) information: If you purchase a date reservation, Google Play or App Store processes your payment. We receive purchase confirmation and a unique transaction identifier for verification, but we do not collect or store your payment details (such as card numbers).
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
Providing and managing the App: To create and manage your account, verify your identity, and enable login.

These services have their own privacy policies: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Payment gateway providers (IAP): In-app purchases are processed directly via Google Play (for Android) or App Store (for iOS). We do not share more data with them than necessary to confirm the transaction. Their handling of data is governed by their own privacy policies.

However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
