Privacy policy

Temptown is an 18+ dating app. This policy explains what we collect, why, who processes it for us, and how you can see, change or delete it.

What we collect

• Account: your email address and password (stored hashed; we never see it).
• Profile: display name, birthdate (to check you are 18+; only your age is shown), gender, who you want to see, city, about text, and photos.
• Desires, kinks and interests you choose to add. These say something about your sex life. We use them only to show your profile and to rank people by what you have in common, and they are visible to other signed-in users.
• Verification selfie, only if you ask to be verified. Only our review team sees it, to compare with your profile photos, and we delete it as soon as it has been reviewed. We keep only the result (verified or not).
• Approximate location, only if you choose to share it. If your device can't find its position, we use a city-level estimate from your internet connection instead (provided by our host, Vercel). We round it to about 1 km before storing it, use it only to show people near you and how far away they are, and never show it to anyone. Others see a rough distance (for example “4 km away”), never where you are. Turn it off any time from the Discover page, which deletes it. Your area name (for example “Mitte, Berlin”) is worked out inside our own database from GeoNames place data (CC BY 4.0), so your location is never sent to another service. It is shown only to you.
• Activity: likes, matches, profile visits (people you visit can see that you did), blocks and reports.
• Messages and private photos. Private photos are deleted from our storage once viewed (10 seconds after first opening) or when the chat is deleted.
• Purchases: what you bought, when, and the payment reference. Card and UPI details are handled by our payment provider (Razorpay on the web, Apple or Google in the apps); we never receive them.
• Technical data our hosting providers log automatically, such as IP address and device/browser type, used for security and debugging.

How we use it

• To run the service: show profiles, match people, deliver messages and photos, and apply purchases.
• To keep people safe: enforce the 18+ rule, act on reports, and block abusive accounts.
• We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising.

Who processes it for us

• Supabase: database, file storage and login.
• Vercel: hosts the website.
• Resend: sends account emails, such as sign-up confirmations.
• Razorpay: web payments. Apple / Google: in-app payments.

These providers may store data outside your country, under their own security and data-protection terms.

What other users see

Signed-in users who match your preferences can see your profile (name, age, city, about, tags, whether you are verified, and photos, unless you chose “Hide my photos until we match”, in which case only your matches can see them) and, if you both share your location, roughly how far away you are. Only your matches can message you. Blocking someone hides you from each other completely.

Screenshots: the mobile app blocks screenshots of private photos, but browsers can't, and nobody can stop a photo of a screen taken with another device. Only send what you are comfortable sharing.

How long we keep it

Until you delete your account. Deleting it (Profile → Delete account) removes your profile, photos, likes, matches, messages and private photos immediately. Payment records are kept, detached from your profile, for as long as tax and accounting law requires.

Your rights

You can see and edit your profile at any time, and delete your account in the app. You can also ask us for a copy of your data or to correct or delete it using the contact details below.

Age

Temptown is only for people aged 18 or over. We delete accounts we find belonging to anyone younger.

Questions or requests: use the Report option in the app, or contact us through the store listing.
