We collect and use this information only to provide core app functionality such as profile setup, user matching, filtering, personalization, and safety features.

5. User Content, Reports, and Moderation

GluMe allows users to create and share profile content and communicate with other users.

To help maintain a safer platform, we may:

  • Allow users to report profiles, messages, or content
  • Review reported or flagged content
  • Investigate abuse, scams, harassment, impersonation, or policy violations
  • Restrict, suspend, or remove accounts that violate our rules

Content related to reports, moderation, fraud prevention, or safety investigations may be retained where reasonably necessary for security, enforcement, or legal purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service and fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Inactive Accounts and App Reinstallation

If you uninstall or reinstall the GluMe app, you may lose access to your existing account and locally stored data, depending on how your account was created and stored on your device.

If an account remains inactive for 30 consecutive days, we may delete, anonymize, or archive certain account-related data from our active systems.

This means that if you stop using the app, uninstall it, or lose access to your account and do not return within 30 days, your account and related data may be permanently removed from our active systems.

Account Deletion

If you choose to delete your account, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize your personal information from our active systems within a reasonable period, unless retention is necessary for:

  • Legal compliance
  • Fraud prevention
  • Abuse or moderation investigations
  • Security purposes
  • Backup or archival systems for a limited time

Some limited data may be retained where necessary to protect the platform, enforce our policies, or comply with applicable law.

7. Account Deletion & Your Rights

You may request deletion of your account at any time using the Delete Account feature within the app (if available) or by contacting us.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may also have the right to:

  • Access certain personal information we hold about you
  • Correct or update your information
  • Delete your account and associated data
  • Withdraw certain permissions (such as location or notifications)
  • Object to or restrict certain processing, where applicable

You may also manage certain permissions directly through your device settings, such as:

  • Location access
  • Push notifications
  • Ad personalization settings (where available)

To exercise privacy-related requests, contact us using the email below.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to help protect your personal information.

These may include:

  • Access controls
  • Secure authentication systems
  • Encryption in transit
  • Infrastructure protections provided by our service providers

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed and stored in countries other than your own, including where our infrastructure providers or service providers operate.

By using the Service, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws than those in your country of residence.

10. Children's Privacy

GluMe is intended only for individuals who are 18 years of age or older.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that an underage person has created an account, we may suspend or permanently delete the account and associated information.

If you believe a minor is using the Service, please contact us immediately.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

If we make material changes, we may notify you by:

  • Updating the "Last Updated" date
  • Posting the updated policy within the app
