No precise GPS collection
FirstRelationship currently asks you to enter your city manually. The app does not require precise GPS location for its dating features. Advertising and infrastructure providers may infer an approximate location from your IP address or device settings as described in their policies.
Photos and media
When you choose a profile or Chat image through Android’s media picker, the selected file is uploaded to Cloudinary. We do not request access to your entire photo library when the system picker can provide the selected file.
3. How we use information
We use information to:
- create and secure accounts;
- confirm eligibility and restrict the service to adults;
- create profiles and show people according to the gender preference you select;
- process Likes, passes, mutual matches, blocks, reports, and unmatches;
- deliver Chat messages and shared images;
- show and measure advertisements and remember privacy choices;
- detect spam, fraud, harassment, impersonation, illegal activity, and safety threats;
- investigate reports, enforce our rules, and protect users and the public;
- provide support and communicate important service or policy updates;
- debug, maintain, and improve performance and reliability; and
- comply with legal obligations and valid legal requests.
4. Legal grounds
Depending on where you live, we process information to perform our agreement with you, with your consent, to comply with law, and for legitimate interests such as operating a safe and reliable dating service, preventing fraud, securing accounts, and enforcing our rules. Where consent is required for advertising or another activity, you may withdraw it through available privacy controls, although withdrawal does not affect earlier lawful processing.
5. How matching and discovery work
Discovery uses the gender preference you choose and may prioritize profiles using service information such as manually entered city and profile activity. A one-way Like appears in the recipient’s Likes section. A Chat relationship is created only after both users Like each other. We do not use sensitive profile information to make legal, employment, credit, housing, insurance, or similarly significant decisions.
6. When information is shared
Other users
Your dating profile, including your name, age, gender, city, biography, interests, selected details, and profile photos, is visible to eligible authenticated users. Matched users can see the messages and images sent within their shared conversation. We do not display your Firebase user ID to other users.
Service providers
We use providers that process information on our behalf or under their own privacy terms:
- Google Firebase Authentication for Google sign-in and account authentication;
- Google Firebase Realtime Database for profiles, Likes, matches, blocks, reports, and Chat data;
- Cloudinary for hosting profile and Chat images;
- Google AdMob for app-open, banner, native, interstitial, rewarded, and rewarded-interstitial advertising;
- Google User Messaging Platform for advertising consent and privacy choices; and
- Google Play services for app distribution, integrity, and related platform functionality.
These providers may process information in countries other than your own. Their processing is also governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.
Safety, legal, and business disclosures
We may preserve or disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law or valid legal process; protect a person from harm; investigate fraud, abuse, child exploitation, or security incidents; enforce our Terms; or protect our rights and users. If the service is involved in a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or asset transfer, information may be transferred subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal requirements.
No sale of profile or Chat data
We do not sell your dating profile or private Chat content for money. Advertising providers may process device and advertising data for ad delivery and measurement as explained in their policies and according to available consent choices.
7. Advertising and privacy choices
FirstRelationship displays advertisements through Google AdMob. Ads may be personalized where permitted and where you have provided any required consent; otherwise, non-personalized or limited ads may be shown. Frequency controls are used for certain full-screen formats. Rewarded advertising is offered with a clear explanation of the reward and is not granted unless the applicable reward event is completed.
Where required, you can revisit advertising choices through Profile → Settings → Privacy choices. Device-level controls may also let you reset or limit use of the advertising identifier. Ad availability and the exact choices presented depend on your region, device, and Google’s systems.
8. Retention
We retain account and profile data while your account is active and for as long as reasonably needed to provide the service. Likes, matches, and messages are retained until removed through service actions, account deletion, safety enforcement, or our retention processes. We may retain limited safety, fraud, transaction, legal, or deletion-request records when reasonably necessary and legally permitted. Backup and queued media deletion may require a reasonable period to complete.
9. Account and data deletion
You can request permanent deletion inside the app through Profile → Settings → Delete account. You may also submit a request without reinstalling the app at [ACCOUNT DELETION URL] or contact [PRIVACY EMAIL].
Account deletion is designed to remove the Firebase profile, Likes and reactions, incoming-Like indexes, match records, conversations, block indexes, reports associated with the account where applicable, and the Firebase Authentication account. Cloudinary media identifiers are placed into a secure deletion process. Some information may be retained where necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal compliance, or the protection of users; any such retention will be limited to the relevant purpose.
10. Your rights and controls
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, update, delete, restrict, object to, or obtain a copy of certain personal information, and to withdraw consent. Profile information can be updated through Settings. You can block users, unmatch, report safety concerns, change available advertising choices, or delete your account. To submit another privacy request, contact [PRIVACY EMAIL]. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
11. Security
We use measures designed to protect information, including authenticated access, Firebase Realtime Database security rules, encrypted HTTPS connections, access controls, and separation of trusted backend secrets from the Android app. No service can guarantee absolute security. Protect your Google account, keep your device secure, and report suspected unauthorized access promptly.
12. International processing
Our providers may store or process information in India, the United States, and other countries where they or their subprocessors operate. Those countries may have different data-protection laws. Where required, appropriate legal safeguards will be used for international transfers.
13. Adults only
FirstRelationship is strictly for users aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly permit minors to create accounts or use dating, matching, or Chat functions. If you believe a minor has used the service, contact [PRIVACY EMAIL] immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
14. User-generated content and safety
Users are responsible for profile information, photos, messages, and other content they submit. Content involving exploitation, harassment, threats, impersonation, scams, illegal conduct, or non-consensual intimate material is prohibited. Users can report, block, or unmatch in the app. We may review reports, preserve relevant records, restrict accounts, remove content, and report unlawful conduct to appropriate authorities where required.
15. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect product, provider, legal, or safety changes. We will update the “Last updated” date and provide additional notice when required. Continued use after an update takes effect is subject to the revised policy.
