Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 2025

BroFinder ("we," "our," or "us") collects and processes your personal information to provide the service.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account using email and password, Apple Sign In, or Google Sign In, we collect your email address, authentication credentials, and any information provided through third-party authentication services (subject to their privacy policies).

Profile Information

During onboarding and profile management, we collect:

  • Name, age, gender
  • Photos (1-3)
  • Interests (3-10 selections)
  • Bio (20-300 characters)
  • Location data (latitude and longitude) if you grant location permissions

We use this information to facilitate matching based on proximity and shared interests, with location filtering options (nearby, global, or all) and age range preferences (18-65).

Messages and Communications

We collect and store all messages you send and receive, including:

  • Text messages
  • Images (up to 8 per message)
  • Videos
  • Message reactions

We process videos you upload (including conversion to optimized formats like HLS streaming) and store them along with thumbnails and metadata.

Crews Information

When you create or join Crews (groups), we collect:

  • Crew names, descriptions, cover images
  • Categories and privacy settings (public or private)
  • Member lists and join requests
  • Crew chat messages
  • All posts, comments, likes, and interactions within crew feeds

Device and Usage Information

We collect device information including:

  • Device tokens for push notifications (via Expo Push Notification service)
  • Platform type (iOS or Android)
  • App usage data

This information is used to deliver notifications about matches, friend requests, messages, and crew activities, which you can customize in notification settings.

How We Use Your Information

Location Data

We use your location data solely to calculate distances between users and facilitate location-based matching. You can disable location sharing at any time in settings, though this may limit certain features.

Media Content

We store all photos, videos, and media content you upload on our servers, and we may process and optimize this content (including video transcoding, thumbnail generation, and image compression) to improve performance and user experience.

Third-Party Services

We use third-party services including:

  • Apple Sign In and Google Sign In (subject to their privacy policies)
  • Expo Push Notification service for delivering push notifications
  • Cloud hosting services for data storage and processing

These services may have access to your data as necessary to provide their services.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information to third parties, but we may share aggregated, anonymized data for analytics and service improvement purposes.

Data Security

We implement security measures including encryption, secure authentication tokens, and access controls to protect your data, though no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information at any time through the app settings. You can delete your account permanently, which will remove all your data including profile information, messages, posts, crew memberships, and matches, though some information may be retained in backups for a limited period as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. We may retain certain information after account deletion to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or for legitimate business interests.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and improve app functionality.

Children's Privacy

The app is intended for users 18 years of age or older, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18. If we become aware that we have collected information from someone under 18, we will delete that information immediately.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. By using the app, you consent to such transfers.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, and we will notify you of material changes through the app or other means. Your continued use of the app after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
