Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Linyor ("we," "our," "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our service ("the Service"). By creating an account or using Linyor, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

We collect the information you voluntarily submit, such as:

Your name, age, gender, and profile details
Photos you upload
Location information you enter (e.g., city, distance preferences)
Relationship preferences, lifestyle answers, and onboarding responses
Messages you send through the app
Payment details handled through third-party processors

Some profile answers may reveal or imply sensitive personal information, including religious beliefs, political views, family intentions, relationship preferences, and other personal characteristics. We collect this only to power compatibility matching and do not use it for advertising.

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you use Linyor, we automatically collect:

Device information (model, browser, OS)
IP address and general location
Usage activity (feature usage, interactions, preferences)
Log data and technical diagnostics for performance and security
Session cookies required to keep you logged in and maintain your account state

We do not use advertising cookies or third-party advertising pixels. We may use privacy-conscious tools to monitor performance, reliability, and basic product usage.

1.3 Information From Third-Party Services

If you create an account using Apple, Google, or another provider, we receive basic profile information from them (such as name and email).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

Create and maintain your account
Match you with compatible users
Personalize your experience
Improve and optimize the Service
Enable messaging and communication features
Provide customer support
Process payments and subscriptions
Detect, prevent, and address fraud or safety concerns
Comply with legal obligations
Make automated compatibility-based decisions about which profiles are suggested to you

Our matching algorithm automatically determines profile visibility and compatibility scores based on your answers. You can influence results by updating your profile and preferences at any time.

We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising or with data brokers.

3. Messaging, Safety, and Moderation

We may use automated tools to detect harmful or policy-violating behavior (harassment, spam, threats, or inappropriate content).

We do not routinely monitor private messages manually. We may access, review, or use automated systems to process messages where necessary for:

Legal compliance or law enforcement requests
Safety investigations and abuse prevention
Fraud detection and moderation
Resolving support cases you initiate

Your safety is extremely important to us.

5. Your Choices & Controls

You may:

Edit your profile information at any time
Change or remove photos
Update preferences
Disable email notifications
Cancel your subscription
Download a structured copy of your account data from Settings
Delete your account

When you delete your account, your profile is removed from public view immediately. Your data is permanently deleted within 90 days, except where retention is required for fraud prevention or legal compliance.

6. Data Retention

We retain your information only as long as necessary to:

Maintain your account
Provide the Service
Meet legal or security obligations

Deleted accounts are removed from public visibility immediately. Remaining data is permanently deleted within 90 days, except where required for fraud prevention or legal compliance. Messages or content already delivered to another user may remain visible to that user or be retained in safety records for a limited period.

7. Children's Privacy

Linyor is strictly for users 18 and older.

We do not knowingly collect or store data from anyone under 18.

If we discover such an account, it will be deleted immediately.

8. Data Security

We use industry-standard security practices to protect your information, including:

Encryption in transit and at rest
Secure authentication protocols
Server-side protections and monitoring

However, no system is perfectly secure. You use the Service at your own risk, and we encourage safe online behavior. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

9. International Users

If you access Linyor from outside the United States, your data may be processed in the U.S. or other countries. By using the Service, you consent to this processing.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

If changes are significant, we will notify you through the app or by email.

Your continued use of the Service implies acceptance of any updates.
