​
This Privacy Policy applies from June 3, 2025.
​
At Flynt, your privacy is of paramount importance to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the type of information we collect, how we use it, the steps we take to protect it, and your rights in relation to your data.
We are committed to ensuring that your personal information is protected and handled responsibly in accordance with Indian privacy laws, including the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011.
By using our services, including any features, tools, or updates, you consent to the collection and use of your information, content and data as described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Where This Privacy Policy Applies
This Privacy Policy applies to websites, apps and other services we operate under the ‘Flynt’ brand.
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.
2. Information We Collect
To provide a personalized and effective dating experience, we collect different types of information. This includes personal details you provide directly to us as well as certain data we collect automatically when you use our services.
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., Google or Apple) or when you upload information from your account on another platform to complete your profile.
This information is readily available on the Site and only viewable by the User on logging into the account. The User at all times has the option not to provide this information without agreeing to register with ‘Flynt’.
All information collected at the Site to become a Registered User is obtained purely for providing the Services (please review the Terms and Conditions) and to improve the quality of your experience from the Services.
This privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices of ‘Flynt’ applicable to the handling of the information collected at the Site.
We will only disclose your Personal Data to third parties if there is a legal obligation to do so by a statutory authority from the appropriate jurisdiction. We do not sell your Personal Data to third parties.

-

Gender and sexual orientation
-
Profile picture(s)

-
Your RSVP status for these events
-
Event descriptions or any additional event-related information
-
Communication and interactions with event organizers (via our app)
Location Data: If you opt-in to location services, we may collect information about your geographical location to help match you with nearby events and suitable date suggestions.
Content you upload: While creating your Account, it is necessary to upload pictures of yourself and to select a display picture for your account. We may use an external face recognition tool and other techniques to select the best pictures for your Account. This selection may be based on features like image quality, composition and authenticity. Images uploaded by you may be modified by us to make them more presentable on the platform. New pictures uploaded by you will be reviewed before they appear on Your Account. The pictures that you upload will be displayed to other users. Your Account, including pictures might be displayed on the homepage of Flynt for public viewing with your consent.
Your login information: We will process and store your login information to verify your identity to access Your Account.
Your customer service history: If you contact our customer service team, we keep a record of your correspondence with us, in order to optimize our service for you.
​
Profile Verification Information (Including Biometric Information): For safety and security and to ensure you have the best possible user experience, we require Users to verify their accounts and might ask for your phone number and, in some instances, we might also ask that you carry out photo verification. We want to make sure you are not a robot! And we also want to avoid fake accounts being created which can be used for malicious activities and cybercrime – they threaten the ‘Flynt’ network and spoil things for everyone. This verification might be required by us for the prevention of fraud. You can also verify your photo on a voluntary basis (to add the ‘verified’ badge to your profile).
If you choose to verify your profile photo, we will scan each photo that you submit. The scan may include the use of facial recognition technology so that we can compare the photo you submit to your profile photo, to help ensure that you are who you say you are. We do not add the verification photos to your profile. We retain the scans so that we can verify you in the future and for our record-keeping purposes until we no longer need them for such purposes or for three years after your last interaction with us, whichever occurs first. After the applicable retention period expires, we take commercially reasonable steps to permanently and securely delete the scans from our systems.
Purchases Information: If you decide to purchase any of our premium services, we will process your payment information and retain this securely for the prevention of fraud and for audit/tax purposes.
‘Flynt’ uses automated decisions to prevent fraudulent payment transactions being processed as part of its anti-fraud procedures. In order to do this, our systems check payment transactions for behaviour that indicates breaches of our Terms and Conditions of Use. If a transaction meets certain criteria that demonstrate that the Terms and Conditions of Use are likely to have been breached and the transaction is likely to be fraudulent, the relevant transaction may automatically be blocked. When a transaction is blocked, the user will be notified that their transaction cannot be processed and affected Users can contact ‘Flynt’ to contest the decision.
Geolocation Information: If you have given ‘Flynt’ access to your location in your device settings, when you use your cell, we will collect information about WiFi access points as well as other location information about your longitude and latitude and may save your device’s coordinates to offer certain features to you. This information helps us identify your physical location and we use it to personalize the App and make it easier for you to interact with other Users, by enabling the general locality information to be displayed to Users seeing your profile and showing you the profiles of other Users who are near you.
If you have given ‘Flynt’ access to your location, but wish to turn this off, you can do so by the following methods:
-
iPhone app — settings, privacy, location services, ‘Flynt’
-
Android — settings, location, ‘Flynt’, permissions, location
Device and Photos Information: We may collect information about your device when you use the App including the unique device identifier, device model, and operating system, for a number of purposes, as set out in this policy. In addition, if you permit us to do so, the App may access your device’s address book solely in order to add someone to your contacts.
We also collect data about your photos, such as which are the photos that users spend time on or which are the photos that have the best lighting, etc. We may use that data to rearrange your profile photos aiming to position them in a way that is favourable to you. You may opt-out of this feature through our app settings.
Links: We may keep track of how you interact with links available on the Platform including third party services by redirecting clicks or through other means. We may share aggregate click statistics such as how many times a particular link was clicked on.
Messages: We review the content of messages sent on the Platform to identify topics, sentiments, and trends across our Users. We will take steps to remove personally identifying information from such messages, prior to reviewing them. We will not share the content of User messages or information we derive from them with any third party.
When you Contact Customer Support: If you contact our Customer Support team, we will receive your email address, phone number and may track your IP address, as well as the information you send to us to help resolve your query. We will keep records of our communications with you, including any complaints that we receive from you about other Users (and from other Users about you) for 6 years after deletion of your account.
Cookies and similar technologies: When you visit our Sites or when you use our App, we may collect personal data from you automatically by using cookies or similar technologies. A cookie is a small file that can be placed on your device or browser that allows us to recognize and remember you.
