Privacy policy

When you create a profile we store:

• Your email address, used only to sign you in and reset your password.
• Your first name, date of birth, gender, who you want to meet, city, roots, bio, languages, interests and photos.
• Notes from people who know you, if you added any before that feature was retired. They are no longer shown to anyone and are deleted with your account.
• Your likes, passes, matches and messages.
• Events you RSVP to, members you block, and reports you file.

We do not collect your contacts, your precise location, or anything from other apps.

• Your first name, age (never your birthday), city, roots, bio, interests, languages, and photos.
• Your profile is only shown to signed-in members who match the mode and preferences you set. It is never public or indexed by search engines.
• Quiet mode hides your profile from discovery entirely. Existing matches can still message you.
• Messages are visible only to the two members in a match, and to moderators when a report is filed.

Photos are stored in a private bucket. They are served through short-lived links to signed-in members only, and removed when you replace them or delete your account.

Blocking a member hides you from each other and closes your conversation. When you report someone, moderators can read the conversation between you to act on the report. Every moderation decision is written to an audit log with the moderator's identity.

Nobody, beyond the services that securely host and operate Beles and, if you sign in with Google, Google for authentication. We do not sell data and we do not use it for advertising.

We use Google Analytics to understand how Beles is used overall — how many people visit, which screens they open, and which features they use. It is aggregate usage only. We never send your name, email, phone number, account id, profile id, photos, messages or anything you type to Google, and page addresses are stripped of identifiers before they are recorded. We do not run ads, we do not use analytics for advertising or ad personalisation, and we never sell your data.

Google's own privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.

You can delete your account at any time from your profile page. Deletion removes your profile, photos, likes, matches and messages, and your sign-in. Reports filed about you are kept without your profile so moderators can recognise repeat behaviour.

Beles is for adults. You must be 18 or older to create a profile.

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect. Beles is published by Appfinity Labs LLC. Questions about your data, a request to see or delete it, or anything else go to support@belesconnect.app, which is also linked from your profile page in the app. A person reads it, usually within a day.
