Tinder is part of the Match Group family of companies. We may share data about you with other Match Group services, and they may share data about you with us, to support a safe and seamless experience and as described below. Read on to learn more about why we share across Match Group companies to help us maintain essential functions, ensure safety, and improve our services. For more info about how Tinder handles your data, please visit our Privacy Policy.
To support daily business and technical operations
Operating Tinder involves a lot of daily business and technical operations, including hosting data securely, providing you with good customer care support, operating advertising and marketing campaigns, understanding what users like or dislike about our services so we can make them better, performing research and development, facilitating payments, managing revenue and accounting, fighting against spam, abuse, fraud and similar harmful behaviors, legal support and others. We share information about you with affiliated Match Group companies so they can help us perform some of these daily operations as our service providers.
To help keep you and others safe
We share and receive information about you with/across Match Group companies to aid us in our efforts to keep you safe. This enables us to do things like:
- Investigate, identify and take action against (e.g. ban) fake accounts, spam, abuse, fraud and other wrongdoings across Match Group services.
- Identify and combat potential discrimination or bias, by improving our ability to check the design and usage of Match Group services against discriminatory or biased outcomes.
- Work with law enforcement when we suspect things such as fraud or harmful or illegal activity, or to help prevent death or imminent bodily harm.
To understand how people use Match Group services
Sharing information helps us understand how people use Match Group services, for instance by more accurately counting the number of unique registered, active or paid users across Match Group services, how many Match Group services they use on average, how people go from one to the other, and how usage patterns might differ.
