GDPR (EU/UK)

CCPA (California)

To exercise your rights, please email us at info@vybes.co.

6. DATA STORAGE & SECURITY

Your data is stored securely on Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers located in the United States. We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information, but no system is 100% secure.

7. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

If you are located outside the United States, your data will be transferred to and processed in the U.S. By using Vybes, you acknowledge and consent to this transfer.

8. DATA RETENTION

We retain your data only as long as necessary for legitimate business purposes or as required by law. Some data (e.g., moderation logs, incident reports) may be retained longer to prevent abuse or comply with legal obligations.

9. BIOMETRIC DATA (FACE CHECK)

What we collect. The face check is optional. If you choose to take it, the app takes a few photos of your face, looking at the camera and turning your head as asked, and compares them with your profile photos. That comparison measures the geometry of your face, which the law treats as biometric data.

Why. Only to confirm that you are a real person and the person in your profile photos, so we can give your profile the verified badge. We never use it for advertising, marketing or matching, and we never sell, lease or trade it.

Who processes it. MediaViz analyzes the photos on our behalf: it checks that your head turned the way the app asked and whether your face is the person in your profile photos. A member of our trust and safety team may look at the photos when the comparison is not clear.

How long we keep it. The photos are stored privately while the check is being decided, which usually takes a minute or two. When it is decided automatically, we delete them, along with everything we sent MediaViz for the check, as soon as the result is in. When a team member has to look, the photos are kept privately and deleted as soon as they decide, and in any case no later than 30 days after you took the check. Afterwards we keep only a record of the check, with no photos or face data in it: the result and the reason for it, the head turns we asked for, when it started and was decided, who decided it, how many of your profile photos matched and the version of the consent you gave. We delete that record when you delete your account. We never keep biometric data longer than the law allows, including Illinois's limit of 3 years from your last interaction with us.

Your consent. We ask for your written consent in the app before every face check. If you say no, your profile does not get the badge, and the features that need a verified profile stay locked: liking or passing on profiles, messaging someone before you match, and posting on For You. You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing info@vybes.co.

Security. The photos are encrypted in transit, stored in private storage that is not publicly accessible, and only our trust and safety team can view them.

10. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Vybes is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we become aware that a minor has submitted data, we will delete it immediately.

11. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last Modified" date and notify you via the App or by email if the changes are significant.

12. COOKIES

We may use cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, track usage, and enhance your experience. You can control the use of cookies through your device or browser settings. See our Cookie Policy.
