Data comes from what you provide, what using the service generates, and third parties
Section 3 introduces three sources of data: information you provide (such as basic profile details and the kinds of people you want to meet), information generated by using the service (such as login times, how you used the service, and the insights and inferences Tinder generates from your content), and data from third parties, for example when you sign in through another platform such as Facebook, Google or Apple or upload information from another account. The tables that follow give the detailed categories.
Supporting quotations
Using our service also generates some information, such as when you logged in and how you used the service, as well as the insights and inferences we generate based on the content you provide.
We also collect data from third parties, like when you access the service through an account you have on another platform (e.g., Facebook, Google or Apple) or when you upload information from your account on another platform to complete your profile.
3. Data We Collect
Data Access & Collection · Context
The first collection table lists categories of data you give Tinder, each with a description
The Section 3 table headed “Data you give us” has two columns, Categories and Description, and groups the kinds of information you provide yourself: Account Data, Profile Data, Content, Purchase Data, Marketing/Survey/Research Data, Third-Party Data, Customer Support Data and Social Media Data. The cards for each row explain what the category covers. The grouping label matters: these are categories you supply, as opposed to data generated automatically or collected otherwise, which later tables cover.

Profile Data may include sensitive details; providing it counts as consent to use it as the policy describes
When you complete your profile you share additional details such as gender, interests, preferences and approximate location. Some of this may be treated as sensitive or special data in certain countries, for example details about sexual orientation, sexual life, health or political beliefs. The policy states that if you choose to provide such data, you consent to Tinder using it as laid out in this Privacy Policy. Providing sensitive profile details is optional, but doing so is treated as consent to the described uses.

What you disclose on the service is visible to other members and may appear in Tinder notifications to potential matches
You share data with other members when you voluntarily disclose information on the service for others to see, such as your public profile. That data is visible to other users in the app and may also be shared, when Tinder considers it relevant and appropriate, in other Tinder communications, for example a profile snapshot in an email or other notification sent to potential matches. So profile content can travel outside the app interface into messages Tinder sends to other members.

we keep your personal data only as long as necessary for legitimate business reasons (as laid out in Section 4) and as permitted by applicable law.
Qualifications & exceptions

Account & Service Control · Company practice
Closing your account hides your profile; a new account within 90 days restores some data; two years inactive closes it
If you stop using the service you can close your account, and your profile will no longer be visible to other members in the app. If you create a new account with the same credentials within 90 days, Tinder will restore some data to help you start faster, which means closed-account data is still held during that window. Tinder also closes your account automatically after two years of inactivity. Deletion after closure follows the periods in the next cards.

Retention & Deletion · Company practice
After closure, data is kept three months (one year after a ban) to investigate unlawful or harmful conduct
Following account closure, Tinder deletes your data as laid out in Section 9, starting with a safety retention window: three months after account closure, or one year after an account ban. During that window Tinder keeps your data to investigate unlawful or harmful conduct, relying on its legitimate interest and that of potential third-party victims. So deletion does not begin immediately when you close your account.
Supporting quotations
Following account closure, we delete your data as laid out below:
To protect the safety and security of our members, we implement a safety retention window of three months following account closure or one year following an account ban. During this period, we keep your data to investigate unlawful or harmful conduct.

Once the account is closed, including if you do not log in for two years after the suspension period, your data is deleted as described in the rest of Section 9.

Residents of Brazil: a named data controller contact and responsible person, reached by email
For people living in Brazil, Section 12 lists “Data Controller: GEP Soluções em Compliance”, a responsible person, Maurício José Ribeiro Rotta, and an email address for privacy contact. Section 1 names Tinder, LLC as the company responsible for data of people outside the EEA, UK, Switzerland and Japan, which includes Brazil; this contact block uses the label “Data Controller” for a different entity. The policy does not reconcile the two, so the role of GEP Soluções em Compliance (for example as a local representative or officer) is not established by this text.
