Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 7, 2026

Effective on June 7, 2026

1. Who We Are

If you live outside the EEA, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the company responsible for your data is:

WingMe, Inc.
United States

2. Where This Privacy Policy Applies

This Privacy Policy applies to websites, apps, events and other services we operate under the WingMe brand. Whether you're searching for your soulmate, joining us at one of our events, or using any of our other awesome services, this Policy has got you covered. For simplicity, we just refer to all of these as our “service” in this Privacy Policy.

If for some reason, one of our services requires its own separate privacy policy, then that policy will be made available to you and that policy — not this Privacy Policy — will apply.

3. Data We Collect

It goes without saying, we can't help you develop meaningful connections without you providing some information about yourself, like basic profile details and the types of people you'd like to meet. Using our service also generates some information, such as when you logged in and how you used the service. We may also collect data from third parties, like when you access the service through an account you have on another platform (e.g., Facebook, Google or Apple) or when you upload information from your account on another platform to complete your profile. If you're interested in all the details, be sure to check out the table below.

Data generated or automatically collected	Description
Usage Data	Using the service generates data about your activity, including how you use it (e.g., when you logged in, features you've been using, actions taken, information shown to you, referring webpages, ads you interacted with) and how you interact with others (e.g., searching, matching, communicating). We also receive data related to interactions you had with our ads on third party websites or apps, if applicable.
Technical Data	Using the service involves the collection of data from and about the device(s) you use to access our service, including hardware and software information such as IP address, device ID, device type, operating systems and configurations, network information, as well as app settings and characteristics, app crashes, advertising IDs and identifiers associated with cookies or other technologies that can uniquely identify a device or browser. For more information about cookies, see our Cookie Policy.
Geolocation Data	If you give us permission, we collect your geolocation (latitude and longitude) from your device. If you decline permission, features that rely on precise geolocation will not be available to you.
Face Data	You may choose to participate in certain of our features, like Selfie Verification, that involve the collection of face geometry data, which may be considered biometric data in some jurisdictions. Learn more about how we process your face data for Selfie Verification. If you use WingMe in a region where Face Check is required, you may learn more about the Face Check process here.
ID Data	You may choose to provide us with a copy of your government-issued ID to help us check that you're who you say you are.

4. Why and How We Use Your Data

The main reason we process your data is to provide our service to you and improve it over time. That includes connecting you with members who might make your heart skip a beat, personalizing your experience, and just helping you make the most of our service. We also process your data to keep our service, you and all others safe and secure. We take this responsibility very seriously and we're always working to improve the safety and security of our systems and processes.

5. How We Share Data

Since our goal is to help you make meaningful connections, some of your information is of course visible to other members on the service. We also share data with service providers and partners who assist us in operating the service for the reasons laid out below and, in some cases, for legal and related reasons. Read on for more details.

Recipients	Reasons for sharing	Categories of Personal Data
Other members	You share data with other members when you voluntarily disclose information on the service for others to see (e.g., your public profile). If someone submits a report involving you (such as a claim you violated our Terms of Use), we may let the reporter know what actions we took, if any, as a result of their report. The same applies if you submit a report involving another member.	Profile Data, Content, Social Media Data, Third Party Data, Customer Support Data, Usage Data
Service providers/partners	We share data with vendors and partners who help us operate, promote and improve our service. They provide us services such as data hosting and maintenance, analytics, customer care, marketing, advertising, payment processing, legal support, and security operations.	Depending on the service provided by the vendor or partner, it may include: Account Data, Profile Data, Content, Purchase Data, Marketing, Survey and Research Data, Third Party Data, Customer Support Data, Social Media Data, Usage Data, Technical Data, Geolocation Data, Face Data, ID Data
Advertising Partners	We may publish ads about third-party advertisers' products and services on our service, and publish ads promoting our own service on third-party sites and apps. To help improve the relevance of these ads, we provide certain info about you to third parties, including advertising partners, or allow them to collect such data from our services (such as via cookies, SDKs, or similar technologies). Some of our advertising partners enable us to transform your email address, advertising identifiers or phone number into an identifier that can't be used to identify you personally and then use that unique identifier to either exclude you from our marketing campaigns, or to target our ads at an audience that is similar to you in terms of background, interests or app usage. If you live in the United States, some of the activities described in this section may constitute “targeted advertising,” “sharing,” or “selling” under applicable laws. You have the right to opt-out, as described in Section 8.	Account Data, Profile Data, Usage Data, Technical Data
Affiliates	We may share data with affiliates or receive data from them for the purposes laid out in this policy.	The categories of data will vary based on the reason for sharing, but it may include: Account Data, Profile Data, Content, Purchase Data, Marketing, Survey and Research Data, Third Party Data, Customer Support Data, Social Media Data, Usage Data, Technical Data, Geolocation Data, Face Data
Law enforcement authorities	We may disclose your data to: (i) comply with a legal process, such as a court order, subpoena or search warrant, government / law enforcement investigation or other legal requirements; (ii) assist in the prevention or detection of crime; (iii) protect the safety of any person; and (iv) establish, exercise or defend legal claims.	The categories of data shared will vary depending on the specific circumstances surrounding the request, but it often can include: Account Data, Profile Data, Content, Purchase Data, Customer Support Data, Third Party Data, Social Media Data, Usage Data, Technical Data, Geolocation Data, ID Data
In the context of merger and acquisition, with our Affiliates or new owner(s)	We may transfer your data if we are involved, whether in whole or in part, in a merger, sale, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy or other change of ownership or control.	The categories of data shared will vary based on the type of corporate transaction. It may include the entire organization data or only a specific subset such as Purchase Data.

7. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Because we operate a global service, the sharing of your data laid out in Section 5 involves cross-border data transfers to the United States of America and other countries that may have different laws about data processing. When we transfer personal data outside of the EEA, the United Kingdom, Switzerland or other countries whose data protection laws have been deemed adequate by the European Commission or other competent governmental bodies, we typically rely on what are called standard contract clauses. These standard contractual clauses are commitments between companies transferring personal data, binding them to protect the privacy and security of your data. Contact us for a copy.

8. Your Rights

We want you to be in control of your data, so we want to remind you of the following rights, options and tools available to you. Depending on where you live, these rights may not apply to you or they may be named differently. If you have any questions on your rights and how to exercise them, please contact us here.

Your Rights	How to Exercise it
Rectification or Correction Right to amend or update your personal data where it's inaccurate or incomplete	You can update your data directly within the service by simply updating your profile. If you wish to rectify other data, please contact us at team@wingme.love.
Deletion or Erasure Right to delete personal data	You can delete some of the data you provided us directly within the service. You can also close your account and we'll delete your data as laid out in this Privacy Policy.
Objection (Opt-out) or Restriction Right to object to us processing personal data or to request that we temporarily or permanently stop processing personal data	You can directly opt-out from certain of your personal data processing in your account settings. Otherwise you can contact us at team@wingme.love should you wish to object to or restrict a data processing we've listed throughout this Privacy Policy.

For your protection and the protection of all of our members, we may ask you for information to verify your identity or authority to act on behalf of a member before we can answer the above requests. We wouldn't want someone else to get in control of your data!

Keep in mind, we can reject requests, including if we are unable to authenticate you, if the request is unlawful or invalid, or if it could infringe on trade secrets or intellectual property or the privacy or other rights of someone else. If you wish to receive information relating to another member, such as a copy of any messages you received from them, the other member will have to make a request themselves.

Residents of Indiana, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Maryland, Tennessee, Minnesota, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Virginia, Colorado, or Connecticut, USA: if we deny your privacy request, you can appeal by contacting us, and explicitly referencing “Privacy Request Appeal.” If you have concerns about the result of your appeal, you can contact the attorney general for your state.

9. How Long We Retain Your Data

We want the connections you make through our service to last forever, but we keep your personal data only as long as necessary for legitimate business reasons (as laid out in Section 4) and as permitted by applicable law.

If you decide to stop using our service, you can close your account and your profile will no longer be visible to other members. Note that we will close your account automatically if you are inactive for two years.

Following account closure, we delete your data as laid out below:

To protect the safety and security of our members, we implement a safety retention window of three months following account closure or up to two years following an account ban. During this period, we keep your data to investigate unlawful or harmful conducts. The retention of data during this safety retention window is based on our legitimate interest as well as that of potential third-party victims.
We maintain limited data to comply with legal data retention obligations: in particular, we keep transaction data for 10 years to comply with tax and accounting legal requirements, credit card information for the duration the user may challenge the transaction, and “traffic data” / logs for one year to comply with legal data retention obligations. We also keep records of consents members give us for five years to comply and evidence our compliance with applicable law.
We maintain limited data on the basis of our legitimate interest: we keep customer care exchanges with you for five years from the date of the communication; customer care records and supporting data, as well as imprecise location of download/purchase, for five years in support of our safety efforts, to support our customer care decisions, enforce our rights and enable us to defend ourselves in the event of a claim; information on the existence of past accounts and subscriptions for three years after the closure of your last account to ensure proper and accurate financial forecasting and reporting; profile data for one year in anticipation of potential litigation, for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; and data necessary to prevent members who were banned from opening a new account for as long as necessary to ensure the safety and vital interests of our members.
Face Data (if provided) is deleted within 30 days, unless continued retention is necessary to comply with an applicable legal obligation or to ensure the safety and security of our service and members, to the extent permitted by applicable law. You can learn more about how WingMe processes and retains Face Data in the notice applicable to each feature, linked in Section 3 above.
Finally, we maintain data on the basis of our legitimate interest where there is an outstanding or potential issue, claim or dispute requiring us to keep data, in particular if we receive a valid legal subpoena or request asking us to preserve data (in which case we would need to keep the data to comply with our legal obligations) or if data would otherwise be necessary as part of legal proceedings.

Where appropriate and as legally permitted, we may maintain and use data that, by itself, cannot identify or be attributed specifically to you for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to improve our service and create new features, technologies, and services, including through machine learning, and keep WingMe services safe.

10. Children's Privacy

Our service is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We do not permit individuals under the age of 18 on our platform. If you suspect that a member is under the age of 18, please use the reporting mechanism available on the service.

11. Privacy Policy Changes

This policy will change over time. We're always looking for new and innovative ways to help you build meaningful connections and strive to make sure explanations of our data practices remain up-to-date. We will notify you before material changes take effect so that you have time to review the changes.
