Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
At Queer Romance, your privacy is not an afterthought — it is a core part of how we build. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe.
1. Information We Collect
When you create an account on Queer Romance, we collect information you provide directly — such as your name, email address, date of birth, gender identity, sexual orientation, profile photos, and bio. We also collect usage data including device information, IP address, app interactions, and location data (only when you grant permission) to help you discover people nearby.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to operate and improve the Queer Romance platform, personalise your experience, show relevant matches, send important notifications, and ensure community safety. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Your gender identity and sexual orientation are treated as sensitive data and are never shared without your explicit consent.
3. Profile Visibility
Your profile is visible to other users on the platform. You control what you share — you can choose to hide your exact location, limit who can message you, and manage your visibility settings at any time from your account settings. Blocked users cannot view your profile or contact you.
4. Data Sharing
We may share data with trusted service providers (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics) strictly to operate our services. These partners are bound by confidentiality agreements. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our users and the integrity of the platform.
5. Data Security
We use industry-standard encryption (TLS/SSL) for data in transit and encrypt sensitive fields at rest. Access to user data is restricted to authorised personnel only. While we take every reasonable precaution, no system is 100% secure — we encourage you to use a strong password and keep your account credentials private.
6. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate safety purposes (e.g., reports of abuse).
7. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time. You may also request a copy of your data or withdraw consent for specific processing activities. To exercise these rights, contact us at queerromance.official@gmail.com.
8. Cookies & Tracking
Our web platform uses cookies to maintain your session and improve performance. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
9. Children's Privacy
Queer Romance is strictly for users aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we become aware that a minor has created an account, we will immediately delete their data and terminate the account.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or an in-app notification. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
