Privacy Policy

Date&Donate Privacy Policy

Welcome to Date&Donate Privacy Policy (“Policy”) Thank you for choosing Date&Donate. This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile application Date&Donate (also referred to as D&D). Any references to ‘Date&Donate’ or ‘D&D’ in this document are interchangeable and refer to the same application.
Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, protect and share your information when you use the Date&Donate mobile application (the “App”).
We suggest you read this in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions of Use.
The primary goal of this document is not only to ensure transparency in the app’s operations but also to safeguard each user’s privacy in accordance with applicable data protection laws, such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act), and other relevant regulations.
The Privacy Policy for the Date&Donate mobile application plays a critical role in ensuring the protection of users’ personal data and transparency in how this data is collected, used, and stored. Given the unique features of the application, the Privacy Policy aims to safeguard users’ rights and provide them with confidence in the security of their personal data. As Date&Donate offers a distinctive approach to online dating by allowing users to purchase meetings with virtual coins and donate a portion of the funds to charity, privacy and proper data handling are vital to creating a safe and transparent platform.
For Date&Donate, the Privacy Policy is not just a legal document but a tool for building trust between users and the platform. Given the app’s unique nature, where meetings are paid for using virtual coins and part of the proceeds go to donations, users need to be confident that their data — both personal and financial — is protected at all stages of interaction with the app. The Privacy Policy helps set clear rules, ensuring that users feel safe and confident when using the platform.
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes what personal data Date&Donate (“D&D”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, the purposes for collecting this personal data, who we may share personal data with, and what rights you may have under applicable data privacy law.
This privacy policy applies to the use of our website https://datedonate.app/ in its entirety, including all of our subpages, associated sites or pages (“Website”), the Android and iOS mobile application “Date&Donate” (the “Mobile Application”), and their associated services, features, and functionalities (for simplicity, collectively, together with the Website and the Mobile Applications, we refer to them as the “Platform” in this Privacy policy)) (collectively, “Date&Donate”). We have also added links on all relevant services to this Privacy policy. Some services may require their own unique privacy policy. If a particular service has its own privacy policy, that service’s policy applies, not this one.
We are responsible for all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural and, where applicable, legal person (“Personal Data”) that we collect, process, and use during your use of D&D.
This Privacy Policy outlines how we process your Personal Data both in connection with D&D and otherwise. The Website includes links to third-party websites, such as social networks. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow the third party to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites, and we encourage you to read the privacy policy of those third-party websites.
In addition, you may choose to use the App or Sites to share information with other users, including your friends and contacts (“Users”). We may also need to share your information sometimes.
The App and Sites are global, and your information will be sent to and used in the United States, UK, Bulgaria, Ukraine regardless of the country you reside in. This Policy explains how we protect your personal data when we transfer it overseas, so please read very carefully!
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data held by us. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data protection and user control in order to make D&D a platform that people love and trust.
This platform is intended strictly for individuals aged 18 and above. Any use by minors is strictly prohibited.

2. What Data Do We Collect
2.1. Personal Data Provided by Users
We collect information from you when you provide registration (“Registration Information”), visit our app, our site, subscribe to our newsletter, respond to a survey or fill out a form.
By using our services, you agree to provide us with certain information.
A list of data that users voluntarily provide during registration, creation of an account (“Account”) or app usage:

• Data during registration

Name (user name or nickname), email address or other login method such as Facebook, Apple or Google account.
To register, you must log in using your Facebook, Apple, or Google account or enter your email address, to which a link for account creation (and subsequently, login) will be sent.
When registering an account via Facebook, Apple, or Google accounts, we may request or automatically receive your login information (credentials) from these social media accounts.
After registration, you will be able to link your account to your Facebook, Apple, or Google accounts, which were not used during the initial registration, in the settings.
To add certain materials, such as photos, you can give us access to your camera or photo album.

• Profile details

Name (user name), age, gender (gender identity), preferences (including gender and sexual preferences), photos, interests and personal data (height, weight, hair color, eye color, language skills, special physical disabilities (invalidity)).
When creating an account, you provide us with information that is necessary for the operation of the platform, such as gender, age, and preferences for searching and meeting other users.
The profile data specified by you will be displayed to other users when they visit your profile.

• Identification data

Photo and video of the user with Oath authentication (authentication using a third party to confirm identity).
To ensure the safety and authenticity of our users, it is mandatory for all users who wish to create and offer meetings on the D&D platform to undergo OATH authentication (third-party authentication for identity verification) and photo authentication, regarding the match of the person in the photo in the photo profile during authentication.
This process verifies the identity of the user and confirms that the account belongs to a real person. As part of this authentication, users are required to upload at least one real photo of themselves, clearly showing their face.

If you choose to undergo photo verification, we will scan each photo provided by you for this purpose. The process may involve facial recognition technology that enables us to compare uploaded photos with your profile pictures to confirm your identity. Photos uploaded for verification will not appear on your profile. We will retain scanned copies of these photos for potential future verification and record-keeping purposes until they are no longer required for this purpose or for a period of three years from the date of your last interaction with our websites and applications, whichever occurs first. After the retention period expires, we will take commercially reasonable steps to securely and permanently delete the scanned copies from our systems.
By completing the OATH authentication and uploading a real photo, users agree to the use of this information as outlined in our Privacy Policy, and understand that failure to comply with these requirements may limit access to certain features of the platform, such as creating or offering meetings.
After passing the specified verification, users receive a blue “authenticity” icon in their profile.
This ensures transparency and user understanding of the authentication process and its purpose.
These materials are processed solely for the purpose of verification (authentication) and are not used for other purposes without the user’s consent.
The facial geometry data we collect, should you choose to undergo photo verification, may be considered biometric information in certain jurisdictions.

• Payment information
Name, billing addresses, debit/credit card numbers.
When purchasing a meeting with another user of our application, the payment system will process your payment data and securely store it for the purposes of fraud prevention, auditing, and taxation.
• Information about interactions with other users (messages, exchange of photos).
We may collect photos and videos with your consent, for example if you choose to upload images or videos or use streaming features on our platform.
When you post information about yourself or use the messaging function to communicate with other Users, the amount of personal data you share is at your own risk.
To facilitate the organization of meetings, we may collect data regarding the location, date, and time of a scheduled meeting.
This information is processed exclusively for the purpose of organizing meetings and providing related services. We ensure that no data is used for any other purposes without your explicit consent.

• Other information

We collect the information you provide when contacting our customer support and during interactions with our support team (data of our correspondence). Additionally, to ensure the stable operation of the service and the security of our community, we process data from your chats with other users and any content you publish.
Our Platform include forms for submitting feedback or personal stories about meetings that took place as a result of using our mobile application. We may also conduct surveys for analysis and research purposes, and we may contact you to provide feedback or invite you to participate in surveys or promotional campaigns. Such information may be published on our website and may be used in the advertising of D&D. Participation in these surveys, feedback forms, or campaigns is voluntary. If you do not wish to participate, please contact our support team.
If you participate in our promotional activities, events, or contests, we collect the information you use for registration or application submission.
If you share information about other individuals with us (for example, if you use a friend’s contact information for a specific feature), we process this information on your behalf to fulfill your request.
We may also collect information regarding interactions with links within the D&D app or on the website (including the number of clicks on a particular link). Additionally, we may share aggregated statistics about such interactions.

Location information helps us customize the Application’s functionality, determine your physical location to facilitate your interaction with other Users. As a result, other users can view information about your location, while you can see profiles of users nearby.

We retain this data only as long as necessary to achieve the stated purposes, in accordance with our data retention policy.
If you have any questions regarding the collection or use of this data, you may contact our support team using the contact information provided in this Privacy Policy.

We will respond to your request within 30 days. In the case of complex requests, this period may be extended to 90 days, and you will be notified accordingly.
Identity Verification for Security Purposes
To ensure both your security and that of our community, we may require identity verification before processing any requests related to your personal data.
Requests may be denied if:
– we are unable to verify your identity;
– the request is unlawful or invalid;
– the request could compromise trade secrets, intellectual property, confidentiality, or the rights of another individual.
If you seek information about another user (e.g., copies of messages exchanged via our platform), the other user must provide explicit written consent before we disclose such data. We may also require identity verification from that individual before fulfilling the request.
Additionally, some requests to restrict or delete personal data may not be fulfilled if doing so prevents us from providing services to you. For example, we cannot provide our services if we do not have your date of birth, as we must verify that you are at least 18 years old to use the platform.

9. Organization of Physical Meetings
DateandDonate serves as a platform that enables users to arrange in-person meetings and interact within the platform. However, all physical meetings occurring outside the mobile application are solely agreements between users. We do not provide meeting services ourselves and are not a provider of meeting services; instead, we act as an intermediary, offering a technological platform to facilitate and manage such meetings.
9.1. Rules for Organizing Meetings
DateandDonate functions as an online platform for organizing meetings and facilitates interaction between users who wish to meet on mutually agreed terms. Our platform allows users to arrange meetings and set a fixed price for them. All financial transactions conducted through the application are solely for covering the cost of the meeting, a portion of which may be directed to charity.
Our application allows users to create and browse meeting offers, execute transactions through a third-party payment system for booking and paying for meetings, and coordinate meeting details through an internal chat system without disclosing personal contact data.
It is important to note that DateandDonate does not act as an organizer, operator, or intermediary in physical meetings and does not control their organization or execution after users agree on them. We are not responsible for the outcome of such meetings. All meetings arranged through the application take place at physical locations chosen by the users themselves.
9.2. User Responsibility
Meetings constitute a physical service that occurs outside the application. Users are solely responsible for organizing, adhering to agreements, and ensuring safety during such meetings.
Since all meetings take place beyond the application, users assume full responsibility for organizing, confirming, and conducting the meeting, including selecting a safe location, complying with ethical and legal norms during the meeting, and ensuring their own safety during physical interactions with other users.
Additionally, by registering on DateandDonate, each user agrees that:
• Their participation in meetings is voluntary, without coercion, and without any legal or financial obligations to other users, except for participating in the meeting itself.
• The platform does not provide guarantees or facilitate the establishment of personal or business relationships beyond the meeting.
• Any interactions between users after the meeting are solely their personal responsibility.
DateandDonate is not liable for any consequences arising from meetings between users, including but not limited to safety concerns, behavior, payments, or any other actions during or after the meeting.
If a meeting does not take place or a dispute arises, users may contact customer support; however, DateandDonate does not guarantee refunds if the meeting was not conducted due to reasons beyond our control.
We strongly encourage users to follow our safety guidelines for meetings, available within the application. In case of any concerns or issues, users may contact our support team.
9.3. No Association with Escort or Sexual Services
We emphasize that the DateandDonate platform is strictly a platform for facilitating meetings between users based on mutual consent, without any obligations beyond standard social interaction. We do not act as an intermediary in any relationships between users outside the application.
Prohibited Activities
We strictly prohibit the use of our platform for:
• Facilitating or engaging in sexual services of any kind.
• Escort services or any activities involving commercial or financial transactions that imply intimate relationships.
• Sharing contact information or communicating with the intent of arranging such services.
• Any other activities that violate applicable laws and regulations.
Moderation Policy
We reserve the right to monitor activity on the platform and remove content, accounts, and messages that include:
• Offers or implications of sexual services.
• Advertising for escort services or related activities.
• References to financial agreements outside the permitted service conditions.
Users violating this policy may face penalties, including temporary or permanent account suspension without the possibility of reinstatement.
Cooperation with Law Enforcement
In cases where prohibited activities or violations of the law are detected, we reserve the right to cooperate with law enforcement authorities. This includes providing information about users who have breached our platform’s policies in accordance with applicable laws and our Privacy Policy.
Any use of the platform for illegal activities, including prostitution, will be promptly investigated, and the violating accounts will be blocked.
Reporting Violations
If you encounter any activity that contradicts our rules, please report it to customer support via the application or by email at dateanddonate@proton.me.
DateandDonate is a platform for safe and meaningful connections. We strive to create a community where users interact openly and respectfully, free from coercion or unlawful propositions.
9.4. Limitation of Liability
As DateandDonate solely serves as a platform for user interaction, we are not responsible for the actual execution of meetings and their outcomes, any disputes between users arising after meeting confirmation, actions or inactions of any party during the meeting, or refunds in cases where the meeting did not take place due to reasons beyond DateandDonate’s control.
In cases of misconduct, fraud, or other abuses, users may contact customer support. Complaints will be reviewed, and appropriate actions may be taken, including account suspension or termination of access to the platform.
9.5. Payment System and Fund Distribution
To ensure the security and transparency of financial transactions, all payments are processed through a third-party payment systems, which handles funds and guarantees compliance with international payment security standards (PCI DSS).
DateandDonate does not store or process users’ financial data, nor does it act as the recipient or distributor of funds directed toward charity. The platform only facilitates the automatic transfer of funds to designated organizations through Stripe.
All transactions occur through a secure payment gateway that ensures the legitimacy and security of financial operations.

Payment Distribution
A portion of the amount is directed to charity according to the percentage set by the organizer (the user creating and offering the meeting).
A portion is transferred to the user who created the meeting after fulfilling all conditions (minus any applicable payment system fees).
A platform fee is automatically deducted from the payment.
9.6. Meeting Safety and Recommendations
We recommend that users follow these safety measures when arranging meetings.
Choose public locations for first-time meetings.
Do not disclose personal contact details (phone number, address, etc.) before meeting.
Inform friends or family about the time and location of the meeting.
In case of an emergency, use the “SOS” function during the meeting if another user behaves inappropriately.
Utilize the “Report” function if another user engages in inappropriate behavior during the meeting.

Each user who offers or purchases a meeting through the D&D platform does so entirely at their discretion, without coercion or obligations beyond the arrangement of a potential introduction and conversation.
All further relationships that may develop between meeting participants are solely their personal responsibility, and the company assumes no liability for events occurring after the meeting.
Participation in a meeting does not create any legal or other obligations between the parties, except for the obligation of the purchasing party to make payment through a third-party payment system, and the obligation of the offering party to attend the meeting at the agreed time and location per the conditions set in the application.
No other obligations arise between the parties, and all subsequent decisions or actions are voluntary and taken at the discretion of each participant.
To ensure user safety and enable the identification of individuals in cases of inappropriate or unacceptable behavior during meetings, we collect and process data on both the offering and purchasing party.
The collection and processing of such data are carried out in compliance with this Privacy Policy, with the aim of preventing potential violations and ensuring the safety of all platform participants in the future. All personal data is processed in accordance with principles of legality, proportionality, and minimization, exclusively for the purposes outlined in this Policy.
9.7. Compliance with App Store and Google Play Policies
To comply with App Store and Google Play requirements, this section explicitly distinguishes DateandDonate as an online platform for meeting arrangements, emphasizing that:
• We do not organize meetings or provide physical meeting services—users independently propose, publish, select, and confirm meetings. All meetings occur outside the application and are not services provided by DateandDonate.
• The platform only performs technical functions—facilitating communication and meeting arrangements between users and processing payments through a third-party payment systems.
• All payments are processed through a third-party payment system, ensuring compliance with App Store and Google Play policies.
