Privacy

Welcome to Mingle's Privacy Policy. We value and respect the privacy of our users. Here's a summary of what data we collect and how we use it:

Data We Don't Collect: We do not collect any personal or sensitive data beyond what is required for the basic functionality of our application.

Analytics: We collect anonymous data for analytics purposes. This helps us understand how our users interact with our application and allows us to improve our services. This data does not contain personally identifiable information.

Basic Functionality: For the application to function properly, we collect basic information like the user name you enter in the app and your geolocation. This is solely to enhance your experience and is not shared with third parties.

Face Data Collection and Use: To verify that users are real and not bots, our app includes a selfie checker feature. This feature requires users to take a selfie, which is processed on your device using a client-side script to detect the presence of a human face. We collect only the minimum face data necessary to confirm the image contains a face. This data is not used for identification, profiling, or any other purpose beyond bot prevention. The face data is not stored permanently, shared with third parties, or transmitted off your device unless explicitly stated otherwise. After verification, the selfie image and associated face data are immediately discarded and not retained by the app.

Data Storage and Firebase: We use Firebase, a service provided by Google, to store and manage user data. Firebase provides us with the backend infrastructure to ensure data integrity and security. All data stored in Firebase is secured and adheres to the latest security standards. To learn more about how Firebase handles user data, you can refer to Firebase's Privacy and Security documentation.
