Privacy Policy

At FreeDatingSitesList, your privacy is fundamental to everything we build. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our size-positive dating platform. By creating an account or using our services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

We are committed to transparency. Unlike many dating platforms that bury data practices in dense legal jargon, we aim to communicate clearly so you understand exactly what happens with your information - and what control you have over it.

Data Collection and Usage

FreeDatingSitesList collects personal data to provide, improve, and secure our dating services. We collect only what is necessary to deliver a safe, functional, and personalized experience for our 148K+ members. Data collection occurs in two primary ways: information you provide directly, and information gathered automatically through your use of the platform.

Information you provide directly includes:

• Account registration data - name, email address, date of birth, gender, and location
• Profile information - photos, bio text, physical attributes, relationship preferences, and interest tags
• Verification documents - photo ID and live selfie submissions (encrypted and deleted after review)
• Communications - messages sent through our platform, support tickets, and feedback submissions
• Payment information - if you purchase optional premium features, payment data is processed by our PCI-compliant third-party payment processor and is never stored on our servers

Information collected automatically includes:

• Device type, operating system, browser version, and screen resolution
• IP address and approximate geographic location
• Usage patterns - pages visited, features used, session duration, and interaction frequency
• Referral source - how you arrived at our platform (search engine, social media, direct link)

We use this data to match you with compatible members, personalize your experience, detect fraudulent activity, improve platform features, and communicate important account updates. We do not sell your personal data to advertisers or data brokers - ever.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

FreeDatingSitesList uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure our platform functions correctly, remembers your preferences, and provides analytical insights that help us improve the service. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our site.

We use the following categories of cookies:

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect core platform functionality such as login persistence and security features.

Third-Party Sharing

FreeDatingSitesList does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We share data only in limited, necessary circumstances and with strict contractual protections in place.

We may share data with the following categories of service providers:

• Identity verification partners - to process photo ID and selfie verification securely
• Cloud hosting providers - to store and deliver platform data with enterprise-grade encryption
• Payment processors - to handle optional premium feature transactions (PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant)
• Analytics services - aggregated, anonymized usage data only - no personally identifiable information
• Law enforcement - only when required by valid legal process (subpoena, court order, or statutory obligation)

All third-party service providers are bound by data processing agreements that restrict how they can use your information. They may only process data on our behalf and for the specific purposes we define.

Your Rights: Access, Deletion, and Opt-Out

Regardless of where you reside, FreeDatingSitesList grants all members the following privacy rights:

• Right to access - request a copy of all personal data we hold about you, delivered within 30 days

For California residents (CCPA/CPRA): You have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion, opt out of any data sale (we do not sell data), and exercise these rights without discrimination. FreeDatingSitesList fully complies with the California Consumer Privacy Act and its amendments.

For EU/EEA/UK residents (GDPR): Our legal basis for processing personal data includes consent (for marketing and optional features), contractual necessity (for providing the dating service), and legitimate interest (for fraud prevention and platform security). You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your rights have been violated.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our privacy team at [email protected]. We respond to all verified requests within 30 calendar days.

Data Security Measures

Protecting your data is a core operational priority. FreeDatingSitesList implements industry-leading security measures to safeguard personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

Our security infrastructure includes:

• SOC 2 Type II compliant cloud infrastructure with regular third-party security audits
• Role-based access controls - employee access to user data is strictly limited and logged
