We never sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

4. ID Verification Data

All users of BlindLove must complete ID verification before accessing the Service.

We collect and store a copy of your submitted identification document

4.1 Retention of ID Data

Your ID data may be retained securely after verification to:

Prevent fraud, impersonation, and duplicate account creation;

Respond to legal or safety incidents;

Resolve disputes between users or handle account recovery requests.

We retain this information for as long as necessary for these purposes or as required by law. If you close your account, your ID data will be securely deleted unless it must be retained for ongoing investigations or compliance reasons.

4.2 Storage and Security

All ID data is encrypted and stored in secure, access-restricted environments. Only authorized personnel with confidentiality obligations can access it.

5. Communications

By creating an account, you agree that we may contact you by email, in-app notification, or push message for:

Account verification and transactional notices;

Important updates, security alerts, or changes to Terms and Policies;

Optional news, offers, or features (which you can opt out of anytime).

We never send promotional content to users who have disabled marketing preferences.

6. Sharing and Disclosure of Data

We do not sell or share your data for profit.

However, we may disclose limited data to the following entities when necessary:

Service providers: hosting providers, analytics tools, or customer support platforms that assist us in delivering the Service.
