B. How We Use This Data
1. Matching Users
We use your connected social media data—including liked videos, songs, and posts—to identify compatibility with other users. Our algorithm analyzes shared likes and listening behaviors to suggest potential matches.
2. Creating Your Social Board
We compile your imported likes into a "Social Board" that displays your YouTube videos, Apple Music tracks, X posts, and Twitch channel follows. This board is visible to your matches according to your visibility settings.
3. Progressive Reveal System
We use message exchange counts to unlock profile content progressively. Photos, interests, and bio information are revealed to matches as conversations develop, based on your staged-reveal preferences.
4. Personalization & Recommendations
We analyze your interactions and preferences to improve match recommendations and personalize your experience within the app.
5. Security & Fraud Prevention
We use collected data to secure accounts, detect suspicious activity, prevent fraud, and enforce our Terms of Service.
6. Service Improvement
We use aggregated and anonymized data to improve our matching algorithm, user experience, and overall Service functionality.
C. Sharing & Disclosure
1. No Sale of Personal Data
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Your information is used solely for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Essential Service Providers
We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our Service, including:
- Cloud hosting and data storage providers

3. User-Controlled Visibility
You control what information is visible to other users through:

4. Progressive Reveals to Matches
Through the progressive reveal system, your match partners will see your profile content (photos, interests, bio) as message exchanges occur. The timing and order of reveals are based on your preferences and system defaults.
5. Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
