Included within: Safety Disclaimer, Privacy Policy, Statement on Minors, Directions on Account Deletion
Safety Disclaimer:
First and foremost, we want to emphasize that DatesIRL is meant to be a place where people can safely find and attend dates to meet someone in real life. While we believe that the vast majority of people out there are good, unfortunately some are not, so we want to encourage all users to always keep your safety in mind when posting, submitting to, or attending dates. We do not take responsibility for the actions of any of the users on the platform that do not act with the best or appropriate intentions.
If at any point another user makes you feel uncomfortable, you have the option to Block them by hitting the "Block User" button on the user's profile page. If you feel it is appropriate, you can also hit the "Report User" button on the user's profile page. Also, if you ever feel uncomfortable before, during, or after a real life interaction, we urge you to leave the situation, if possible, or immediately seek help through emergency services such as 911 or otherwise.
Privacy Policy:
This explains how we collect, store, protect and share your information, and with whom we share it, as well as our Safety Disclaimer.
Whilst you’re enjoying the DatesIRL mobile application (“App”) or web version, our microsites (such as datseirl.com) or using any of our digital products and services (together, referred to in this Privacy Policy as our “Sites”), we collect some information about you.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT DISCLOSURES
Service Providers
We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to us (“Service Providers”). The suppliers with which DatesIRL shares User personal data vary depending on a variety of factors, such as which of our Apps and Sites a User engages with. For example, to provide our services to DatesIRL App Users, we typically use the following suppliers:
Billing services - to allow customers to purchase paid features of the App (for example, Google Play)
Authentication services - to allow customers to authenticate their account (for example, Twilio)
Social media providers - to allow customers to create/connect their DatesIRL account with their account(s) on such platforms (for example Facebook or Instagram)
Product improvement and market research - we use third party platforms (such as Typeform) and agencies (such as Kantar) to carry out customer surveys and market research to improve our products and services
Growth marketing services - to allow us to market and advertise DatesIRL to potential customers (for example AppsFlyer and Facebook)
IT services - some of the third-party software providers used in the operation of our business may process customers’ personal data (for example, if a customer contacts us via social media with a support inquiry, their inquiry is processed by our community management software provider Khoros)
We carry out due diligence on all Service Providers we engage to ensure they have adequate data protection and information security measures in place and only provide them with the personal data necessary to the service they are providing. Our suppliers are also subject to extensive obligations under our contractual arrangements, including strict data retention limits.
Marketing Service Providers and Advertising Partners
We may partner with advertising publishers to place third party adverts on our App and Sites (‘Advertising Partners’). We also partner with providers of marketing services (such as Facebook for example) (‘Marketing Services Providers’) to help us market and advertise our App and services on third party websites and applications and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. For example:
to exclude you from advertising campaigns aimed at finding new users, if you already have a DatesIRL account;
to show DatesIRL adverts to users who have visited the DatesIRL App/Sites but haven’t yet created a DatesIRL account;
to create an audience for our advertisements of other potential users who have similar characteristics to you based on the information the Marketing Service Providers hold about you (also known as a Lookalike Audience); or
to include you in a ‘custom audience’ that will receive DatesIRL advertising content (a custom audience is essentially a list of people who we think are most likely to be interested in a particular advertisement).
We share a limited amount of your personal data with companies that help us with marketing and advertising, such as:
the advertising identifier associated with your device (this is a random number assigned by your mobile device manufacturer (for example Apple or Google) to your device to help advertisers (including the manufacturer), know when an ad has been viewed or clicked on in the App or sites, and when an ad causes a “conversion” (for example downloading the app advertised to you))
your estimated location (based on your IP address)
age and gender
data about your visit to our Sites or App and action taken on those (for example if you download our App or created an Account with our App)
a hashed* version of your email address (to create ‘custom audiences’).
*Hashing is a way of encrypting information by turning it into a combination of random numbers and letters - this code cannot be traced back to the email address. When hashed email addresses are sent to a Marketing Service Provider, they’re then matched against the Provider’s own existing list of their own users’ hashed information and our ads are served to those of our users who have successfully been matched with the Provider’s. Matched and unmatched hashes are then deleted by the Provider.
For more information about how we use cookies and other tracking technologies, including how you can set and manage your preferences with regards to such technologies, please see our Cookie Policy(opens in new window).
In some cases, these third parties will also use the data that they collect for their own purposes, for example they may aggregate your data with other data they hold and use this to inform advertising related services provided to other clients.
Facebook
Where we share data with Facebook as our Marketing Service Provider (including via the Facebook “Like” function), we are Joint Data Controllers with Facebook Ireland for this processing. This arrangement means that DatesIRL has to provide you this notice, but you should contact Facebook if you wish to exercise your data protection rights. Further information, including how Facebook enables you to exercise your data protection rights, and subsequently processes your information as an independent data controller can be found in Facebook Ireland’s Data Policy(opens in new window). If you want more information relating to the nature of the arrangement we have in place with Facebook, please email info@DatesIRL.com.
This data referred to above can include actions that you take on our website such as your interactions with our website or other information collected from cookies or similar technologies including the Facebook pixel. This allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising, improve our marketing practices, and helps us deliver more relevant advertising to you and people like you (including on social media such as Facebook).
Google’s reCAPTCHA service
To protect the input and comment areas of our App against spam and abuse, we use the reCAPTCHA verification tool. This service is provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and is subject to Google’s privacy policy(opens in new window) and terms of service(opens in new window).
reCAPTCHA makes it possible to differentiate between inputs of human origin and those that are carried out improperly by a bot. Certain device and application data will be transmitted to Google’s servers in order to determine whether actions on our App really come from humans. This data may include: URLs; user IP address; Google account information if the user is logged in to their Google account at the same time; browser information, including browser type, browser size, browser resolution, browser plug-ins, language settings and date; mouse and touch events within the page; and information collected from cookies. This processing is based on our predominant legitimate interests in protecting our App from abusive bots.
4. WHAT OTHERS MAY SEE ABOUT YOU
Our App is designed to make it easier for you to connect with other Users and to interact with them.
When using the DatesIRL App, you should assume that anything you post or submit on the App may be publicly-viewable and accessible, both by Users of the App and non-users of the App. We want our Users to be careful about posting information that may eventually be made public.
Please be careful about posting sensitive details about yourself on your profile such as your religious denomination and health details. While you may voluntarily provide this information to us when you create your profile, including your sexual preferences, there is no requirement to do so. Please remember that photographs that you post on DatesIRL may reveal information about yourself as well. Where you do upload and choose to tell us sensitive information about yourself, you are explicitly consenting to our processing of this information and making it public to other Users.
Your DatesIRL profile and other information you make available via the App, including certain information added to your profile through third party accounts (such as Facebook or Instagram – see section 7 of this Privacy Policy for more information about this) may be viewed and shared by Users with individuals who may or may not be Users of the App. For example, a User may recommend you as a match to his or her Facebook friend(s) by taking a screenshot of your profile picture and sharing it, regardless of whether such friend(s) is also a User of the App.
Please also note that in certain countries (currently, South Korea only) Users are provided with functionality enabling them to download a copy of their conversation history (as this is required by local laws) and that DatesIRL has no control over how Users may then publish or use that information.
If you log in to or access the App through your Facebook account or another third-party account on a device which you share with others, remember to log out of the App and the relevant third-party account when you leave the device in order to prevent other users from accessing your DatesIRL account.
OUR POLICY TOWARDS AGE.
Although we want as many people as possible to enjoy our creation, you have to be at least 18 years old to use DatesIRL.
DatesIRL does not knowingly collect any information about or market to children, minors or anyone under the age of majority. If we become aware that a child, minor or anyone under the age of 18 has registered with us and provided us with personal data, we will take steps to terminate that person’s registration and delete their Profile information from DatesIRL. If we do delete a Profile because you violated our no children rules, we may retain your email and IP address to ensure that you do not try to get around our rules by creating a new Profile.
We will alert any authorities as necessary if you alert us at hettall61@gmail.com about any violations, misuse, or minors using the site or app that should not be.
6. SECURITY.
DatesIRL has implemented appropriate security measures to protect and prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure and alteration of the information under our control, including your personal data. We use reasonable security measures to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information. Our technical experts at DatesIRL work hard to ensure your secure use of our site.
Unfortunately, no website or Internet transmission is ever completely 100% secure and even we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss or other breaches will never occur, but here are some handy tips to help keep your data secure:
Please make sure you log out of your Account after use as you never know who may stumble onto your Account!
Please don’t share the password you use to access your DatesIRL Account with anyone else!
Change your password periodically.
If you ever think someone has had access to your password or Account, please follow the steps set out here. We cannot guarantee the security of your personal data while it is being transmitted to our site and any transmission is at your own risk.
7. LINKING OTHER ACCOUNTS TO DatesIRL.
Using your social media details to sign in to DatesIRL
If you sign in to our App using your Facebook account, you give permission to Facebook to share with us your name and profile picture. Unless you opt-out, you also give permission to Facebook to share with us your email address (if there is one associated with your Facebook account), date of birth, profile photos, gender, Page likes and current town/city.
If you register or sign in with your Apple ID, you give Apple permission to share your Apple login, a name (that can be edited by you) and an email (you can choose to hide your email and Apple will create a random email address so your personal email can stay private). This email address will be linked to your DatesIRL account and will be used to retrieve your DatesIRL account.
We will then use this personal data to form your DatesIRL account. If you remove the DatesIRL app from your Facebook settings, or from your Apple ID, we will no longer have access to this data. However, we will still have the personal data that we received when you first set up your DatesIRL account using your Facebook or Apple ID (you must delete your DatesIRL account entirely for us to no longer have access to this data).
Linking social media accounts to your DatesIRL account
You may link your DatesIRL account with your Instagram or Facebook accounts. This allows you to share some information from those accounts directly to your DatesIRL account (for example, Instagram photos).
We only receive the limited information that Instagram/Facebook permits to be transferred (as detailed by Instagram/Facebook and agreed by you when you first connect your account from such platforms with your DatesIRL account).
If you no longer want to link your DatesIRL account to your Instagram or Facebook account, please visit the settings in your Instagram or Facebook account and follow the instructions to remove the DatesIRL app access permissions. Please note that any information already added to your DatesIRL account from those platforms will not be deleted unless you delete it within your DatesIRL account as well.
8. YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
For Users who are California residents, you have the following rights (in addition to those listed at section 9 below) under the California Consumer Privacy Act, and you have the right to be free from unlawful discrimination for exercising your rights under the Act:
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you and explain how we have collected, used and shared your personal information over the past 12 months.
You have the right to request that we delete your personal information that we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
California’s “Shine the Light” law, Civil Code section 1798.83, requires certain businesses to respond to requests from California customers asking about the businesses’ practices related to disclosing personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. If you wish to find out about any rights you may have under California Civil Code section 1798.83, you can write to us at info@DatesIRL.com.
From time to time, as part of a joint promotion with a third party, we may, if you participate in such a promotion, disclose your contact information to the third party to allow them to market their products or services to you. Where this is a condition for participation in a promotion, we will always let you know before you enter the promotion. Please follow the instructions provided to you by third parties to unsubscribe from their messages.
In addition, Under California law, operators of online services are required to disclose how they respond to “do not track” signals or other similar mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personal information of a consumer over time and across third party online services, to the extent the operator engages in that collection. At this time, we do not track our Users’ personal information over time and across third-party online services. This law also requires operators of online services to disclose whether third parties may collect personal information about their users’ online activities over time and across different online services when the users use the operator’s service. We do not knowingly permit third parties to collect personal information about an individual User’s online activities over time and across different online services when using the App.

11. DATA RETENTION AND DELETION.
We keep your personal information only as long as we need it for the legal basis relied upon.
When your Account is deleted, we make sure it is no longer viewable on the App.
we must keep it to comply with applicable law (for instance, if you make purchases within the App, some personal data may need to be kept for tax and accounting purposes);
we must keep it to evidence our compliance with applicable law (for example, if an account is blocked, we keep some account information and a record of the behavior that led to the block - this information is retained for evidential purposes in case of queries or legal claims concerning the block);
there is an outstanding issue, claim or dispute requiring us to keep the relevant information until it is resolved; or
the information must be kept for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention and enhancing Users’ safety and security (for example, information may need to be kept to prevent a user who was banned for unsafe behavior or security incidents from opening a new account).
Warning: Even after you remove information from your profile or delete your Account, copies of that information may still be viewable and/or accessed to the extent such information has been previously shared with others, or copied or stored by others.
