Information we process

Why and where it is used

We use this information to authenticate accounts, display profiles, deliver chats, apply your choices, review reports, prevent misuse, and process deletion. Account and app data are stored on Google Firebase services: Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, and Hosting. Cloud processing can take place outside your country, subject to the provider’s applicable safeguards and terms.

Who can see it

Other signed-in users can see your profile information and photo. Conversation participants can see the messages you send to them; they may save or share what they see. Operators with authorized backend access can process data to provide support and enforce rules. Messages are not end-to-end encrypted. A photo download link can be viewed by someone who obtains it, so do not upload confidential images. Firebase processes information as our service provider. We may disclose information when legally required or necessary to address a safety incident.

Device access and external websites

You select a photo through Android’s system picker; the app does not need broad access to your photo library. Native Radar shows profiles without collecting GPS location or calculating distance. No advertising or analytics SDK is included in this version. The embedded browser can load an operator-selected website; that site receives ordinary web requests and may use cookies or local storage under its own policies. Third-party cookies are disabled in the embedded browser, but first-party site storage may be used. Your native account is not automatically signed into an external website.

Security and your choices

We use authenticated access controls and server-side checks. No service is completely secure. Firebase service connections use HTTPS; an operator-selected HTTP website does not provide the same transport protection. Avoid sensitive information on insecure sites. You can edit your profile, block/report an account, stop using the service, request access or correction by email, or request deletion. We do not sell your personal data.

Retention and deletion

We retain account and interaction data while needed to operate your account. Confirmed deletion requests remove the account, profile photo, user records, likes and related interaction records, reports involving the account, and entire conversations involving it, including their messages. Deletion is processed in the background with retries. Other people’s independent screenshots or copies cannot be recalled. A minimal account-ID security marker is kept for 24 hours, then cleared by the periodic cleanup after deletion succeeds, to prevent old sign-in tokens from recreating the account. Operational logs and any provider-managed backup copies, if enabled, may expire separately under the provider’s configured retention; they are not used to restore a deleted account. We do not claim immediate deletion of provider-controlled logs or legally preserved copies. Contact us for the applicable retention details or unresolved deletion requests.

Children and changes

The service is 18+ only. Report suspected underage accounts or exploitation using the in-app tools or our child-safety contact. We will investigate and act under our standards. Updates to this policy are dated here; material changes will be communicated where required.
