MG Dating Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Privacy Principles

MG Dating was founded on the belief that healthy connections require trust, transparency, and respect. This Privacy Policy explains how MG Dating Inc. ("MG Dating", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data when you use our mobile applications, websites, and associated features (collectively, the "Service").

2. Information We Collect

To help you form authentic romantic and platonic connections, we collect information you provide directly and data generated through your use of the Service:

• Profile Information: When you register, you provide basic details including your name, email, phone number, date of birth, gender identity, sexual orientation, profile photos, bio, and dating preferences.
• Verification & Biometric Data: If you choose to use our Photo Verification or ID Verification features, we process facial geometry scan data to verify that you match your uploaded photos. Biometric data is used strictly for identity verification and fraud prevention.
• Geolocation Information: With your permission, we collect your precise GPS location to display potential matches nearby. You can disable geolocation at any time in device settings.
• Chat & Interaction Data: We process messages, voice notes, and video calls you exchange within the app, alongside automated safety screening to prevent harassment and lewd content.
• Purchase History: Information regarding subscription upgrades (such as MG Premium and Boost) processed securely through third-party app stores (Apple App Store / Google Play).

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to deliver, personalize, and improve our services, including:

• Creating and managing your profile and matching you with compatible members.
• Protecting our community from spam, scammers, and abusive behavior using automated AI security tools (such as Private Detector and Deception Detector™).
• Providing customer support and responding to your inquiries.
• Complying with legal obligations, preventing fraud, and enforcing our Terms of Use.

4. How We Protect & Retain Data

We implement robust technical and organizational security measures, including end-to-end encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and AES-256 encryption at rest, regular penetration testing, and strict internal access controls.

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to provide the Service or until you request account deletion through app settings.

5. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as GDPR in Europe or CCPA in California), you have rights regarding your personal data:

• Access & Portability: Request a full copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction & Deletion: Edit your profile details anytime or permanently delete your account and data directly within the app.
