Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") applies to the LocalSingles website, including all subpages and associated sites or pages (the "Website"), and the LocalSingles mobile and web application, which may be accessed through a browser on a mobile phone, tablet, or personal computer (the "App"). The Website and App are collectively referred to as "LocalSingles."
We are responsible for the information we collect, process, and use in connection with your use of LocalSingles that relates to an identified or identifiable individual and, where applicable, legal entity ("Personal Data").
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your Personal Data in connection with LocalSingles and related matters. The Website may contain links to third‑party websites. If you click those links or enable those connections, the third party may collect or share information about you. We do not control third‑party websites, and we strongly encourage you to review their privacy policies.
1. Our Privacy‑First Approach
We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your Personal Data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. We follow the principles of data minimization and purpose limitation, which means that we collect and process only the personal information necessary for the specific purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We use the information you provide only for the disclosed purposes and retain it only as long as necessary to fulfill those purposes or comply with applicable legal requirements.
We value transparency and respect your privacy choices. You may have the right to access, correct, or delete the Personal Data we maintain about you. Protecting your privacy is a top priority, and we are committed to maintaining high standards of data protection and user control so that LocalSingles remains a service people can trust and enjoy.
2. What Personal Data Do We Collect?
We collect certain Personal Data that is required for LocalSingles to function properly. Other information is optional and may help improve your overall experience. If you do not provide required information, you will not be able to access LocalSingles.

2.3 When You Use LocalSingles
When you interact with LocalSingles, you may choose to provide additional Personal Data. Some of this information is required for the App to function, while other information helps us improve your experience. We may process the following information:
Optional Information:
- Location Data: With your express permission, LocalSingles uses your device's GPS location to connect you with nearby users. You may disable location access at any time through your device or browser settings. Please be aware that when you use LocalSingles, other users may be able to see your location, which could expose that information to unintended uses.

Monitored content is anonymized to protect user privacy, and we will not attempt to re‑identify it.
- Uploaded Media: Photos, videos, or other media that you upload or share through LocalSingles. Access to your device's photo library or camera requires your permission. Metadata associated with this content, such as location or device information, may also be shared for moderation purposes; however, location information is generalized to help protect user privacy.
- Our chat gallery remembers the last-used album and prioritizes frequently sent photos, helping users quickly find and resend images. READ_MEDIA_IMAGES supports loading and organizing local photos for this personalized sharing experience.
- Our chat gallery remembers the last-used album so users can resume browsing videos, preview clips and check duration before sending. READ_MEDIA_VIDEO supports this user-initiated video selection and sharing workflow.
- Augmented Reality (AR) Features: Camera access is required to use AR features provided by Snap Inc. These interactive experiences combine the real world with computer‑generated 3D content. Before using these features, you will be asked to review and accept Snap Inc.'s terms and privacy policy. Your consent is optional and may be withdrawn at any time through your device settings, although certain features may no longer function.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us as described in Section 12.

5. Online Tracking and Analytics
We use various technologies to monitor and analyze how LocalSingles is used. These technologies help us improve the platform's functionality and personalize the user experience. Key tracking and analytics methods include:
Cookies
We and selected third parties use cookies and similar tracking technologies on LocalSingles to recognize you and/or your devices. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help streamline your experience, remember your preferences, and improve functionality.
Analytics Tools
LocalSingles uses analytics tools and technologies to collect information about how users interact with the platform. These tools help us understand user behavior, identify trends, evaluate performance, optimize features, and make data‑informed improvements.
Log Files
Whenever you access LocalSingles, general information about your visit is automatically recorded in log files. This information may include access times, usage patterns, and server load and is stored in anonymized form for statistical and technical analysis. We analyze this information to optimize server performance, identify peak usage periods, and improve the interface and user experience. We do not use this information to evaluate individuals, and it remains anonymous throughout the analysis.
6. International Data Transfers
We may transfer your Personal Data to third‑party business partners located in other countries, particularly partners that provide analytics, data processing, business operations, data integration, content moderation, marketing, and app‑tracking services.
We take steps to ensure that Personal Data transferred internationally receives a level of protection comparable to the protection we provide within LocalSingles. We assess whether a transfer is covered by an adequacy decision determining that the destination country provides an adequate level of data protection. An adequacy decision may simplify transfers to that country.
In some circumstances, we may request your express consent to an international data transfer when required under applicable legal requirements. We conduct assessments designed to protect your Personal Data when it is transferred to other countries, reflecting our commitment to privacy protection, risk mitigation, and compliance with applicable data protection standards.
7. Third Parties With Whom We Share Information
We may share your Personal Data with the following categories of recipients:
- Service Providers: We work with trusted service providers that process your Personal Data on our behalf or jointly with us. These providers may offer telecommunications, email, database management, hosting, outsourcing, payment processing, user verification, advertising, marketing, analytics, anti‑spam, and anti‑fraud services. Some service providers may also use your Personal Data for their own purposes and describe their independent processing practices in their respective privacy policies.
- Buyers and Transaction Partners: In connection with a proposed or completed reorganization involving all or part of our business, assets, rights, or interests, we may share your Personal Data with prospective buyers, merger partners, sellers, and their advisors.
- Government Authorities and Legal Representatives: We may disclose your Personal Data to government agencies, courts, other domestic or international authorities, and legal representatives when required by law or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our interests. This may include disclosures necessary to protect the legal rights of LocalSingles, our users, business partners, or other relevant parties; reduce potential liability in pending or threatened litigation; enforce our agreements with you; or address, prevent, or respond to illegal activity, suspected fraud, or other misconduct.
These practices reflect our commitment to transparency and compliance with applicable privacy and data protection laws.
8. Security and Transparency When Sharing Users' Personal Data
Consistent with applicable data protection requirements, we aim to be transparent about sharing your Personal Data with third parties. This section provides important information about those transfers. We may share your Personal Data with carefully selected third‑party partners when we have a legitimate business reason to engage them.
We meet our legal obligations by using current, generally recognized safeguards designed to preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and security of your Personal Data while it is processed by or transferred to these third parties.
Because LocalSingles operates globally, the recipients of shared Personal Data and the locations where it is processed may vary based on your geographic location and other circumstances. Third‑party recipients may be located in the United States and other countries in North and South America, including Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. Personal Data may also be shared with recipients in European countries, including the United Kingdom and Russia, and in Asian countries, including China, Israel, India, Vietnam, Japan, and Singapore.
9. Personal Data We Receive From Third Parties
If you sign in to LocalSingles using your Apple ID, you authorize Apple to share your Apple login information, name, and email address with us. Apple offers a feature that allows you to keep your personal email address private by generating a random email address linked to your LocalSingles account. This allows you to receive messages from the App without disclosing your personal email address.
If you sign in using your Google Account, you authorize Google to provide us with your name, email address, and language preference.
We use this information to create your LocalSingles account. You may revoke access at any time by removing the LocalSingles App from your Google Account or revoking authorization through your Apple ID. However, information provided during account creation through these third‑party services will remain available to LocalSingles after you revoke access. To remove this information from LocalSingles, you must delete your LocalSingles account. For more information about your privacy rights and choices, please review the privacy notices of the applicable service providers:
- Apple Inc., One Apple Park Way, Cupertino, CA 95014, USA. For more information, please visit the applicable website.
- Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For more information, please visit the applicable website.
10. How Long We Retain Personal Data
We retain your Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable laws, regulations, and contractual obligations. In some cases, we may retain certain information for up to 180 days after deletion to support these purposes. This retention period also helps us maintain a secure environment and reduce risks, fraud, and other harmful activity, thereby protecting information necessary for our legitimate interests in preserving the integrity of the platform and the safety and well‑being of our users. We may also retain information as necessary to meet legal obligations, establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, and prevent ongoing violations by users.
For more information, contact us by email at pixgamming0@gmail.com.
11. How We Protect Your Personal Data
We use technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect your Personal Data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, and unauthorized alteration. Our employees and the third‑party service providers we engage are contractually required to maintain confidentiality and comply with applicable data protection requirements.
Although we take steps to maintain a high level of security, no method of protecting Personal Data is completely secure. In particular, information transmitted over open networks, such as the Internet or email, may be intercepted or accessed without authorization. As a result, we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of messages or content transmitted through those channels. Personal Data sent over open networks may not receive the same level of protection as information stored within LocalSingles.
We continually evaluate and improve our security practices to reduce potential risks to your information. We also encourage you to use caution when sharing Personal Data through unsecured channels.
12. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your Personal Data, including:
- Access: You may request access to your Personal Data so that you can understand what information we process about you and confirm that it is being handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

- Deletion: You may request deletion of your Personal Data under certain circumstances.
- Restriction of Processing: In certain circumstances, you may request that we limit the processing of your Personal Data.
- Data Portability: In certain circumstances, you may request a copy of your Personal Data in a readable format at no charge.
- Right to File a Complaint: If you believe your Personal Data has been processed improperly, you may file a complaint with a competent supervisory authority, including an authority in the U.S. state where you live or work or where you believe a violation of applicable data protection law occurred.
- Withdrawal of Consent: You may withdraw your consent to the processing of your Personal Data at any time, free of charge and without providing a reason, by contacting us at the address provided in this Privacy Policy. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn.
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to exceptions. Whether a particular right applies depends on the legal basis for the processing and the circumstances of your request.
To exercise any of your rights, contact us by email at pixgamming0@gmail.com.
If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under California law regarding our use of your personal information. California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request information about our disclosure of your Personal Data to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To opt out of the disclosure of your Personal Data to third parties for their direct marketing purposes, email us at the contact address provided below. We currently do not disclose your Personal Data to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

We strongly encourage parents and legal guardians to supervise their children's online activities and to help enforce this Privacy Policy by instructing their children not to access LocalSingles or provide Personal Data through the platform.
