Privacy Policy EyeContact

Last Updated:

EyeContact is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our app and website.

1. Information we collect

1.1 Information you provide

  • Name and email address (at registration or waitlist signup)

  • Age (required, minimum 18 years verified)

  • Profile photo (optional)

  • Location sharing preferences chosen during registration

1.2 Automatically collected information

  • Geographic location data, based on your chosen mode:

    • Continuous location (if you chose always-on tracking)

    • Location at app open (if you chose check-in mode)

    • No automatic location (if you chose manual search)

  • Device type and operating system version

  • App usage logs and crash reports

  • Referral code (if you reached the site through an invite link)

We do not collect sensitive information such as financial data, identity documents, or health information.

2. How we use your information

We use your data to:

  • Create and manage your account

  • Show you active searches in places you've been, based on your chosen location mode

  • Generate mutual matches between users who were in the same place at the same time

  • Send you notifications about matches, connection requests, and messages

  • Improve app features and your overall experience

  • Send communications about the waitlist and app launch

  • Manage the referral system and reward levels

We never sell your data to third parties.

3. Location and privacy

Location is at the heart of EyeContact. That's why we built a three-level system that lets you choose how much to share:

Always-on location - The system logs the places you've been to show you active searches in those locations.

Location on app open only - Your location is saved only when you open the app. You can see searches in places where you've checked in.

No location - No automatic tracking. You can manually search for a place, with a limit of one search per day.

You can change your preference at any time in your phone settings. Features update in real time.

Your profile remains invisible to everyone until a mutual match occurs. No one can search for you, find you, or see you without having noticed you in the same place at the same time.

4. How we share information

We share your data only in the following limited cases:

With service providers

For hosting, analytics, and crash reporting — all under strict confidentiality agreements.

For legal compliance

If required by law, we may share necessary information.

We never share your personal or location data with advertisers.

5. Matches and connections

EyeContact's matching system is designed to protect your identity:

  • Your full profile is only visible after the other person has taken an intentional action (watching a video or making a payment)

  • No user can contact you directly without you accepting their connection request

  • Chat unlocks only after mutual consent

  • You can decline any request without the other person being notified of the rejection

6. Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data

  • Request deletion of your account and all associated data

  • Update or correct your information

  • Change your location preferences at any time

  • Withdraw consent to data processing

  • Receive a copy of your data in a readable format

To exercise any of these rights, write to: info@eyecontact.app

7. Data retention

We retain your data only for as long as necessary to provide the service.

Listings expire automatically after 48/72 hours from publication and are deleted.

If you delete your account or request deletion, all your data is permanently removed within 30 days.

8. Security

Your data is stored on secure, encrypted servers. Only essential team members can access anonymized data to improve the service. We follow industry-standard protection measures.

9. Minors

EyeContact is not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you become aware of a minor's account, please contact us immediately.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. We will notify you by email for significant changes.
