Privacy Policy

01 Who this policy covers

Everyone who opens matchpub.cam, whether you arrived a minute ago as a guest or have used the site for months, in a browser tab or from an icon on your home screen. A guest session is created on your first visit because a match can’t be made without one, so this policy applies from that first page.

“We”, “us” and “MatchPub” here mean the people who operate matchpub.cam.

02 Information you give us

• The guest identifier created for you, plus any display name, language or setting you choose later.
• Anything you add to your profile, such as a photo or a short line about yourself. None of it is needed to start matching.
• The messages you send from profiles, the people you follow and the people you block.
• Reports you file about another user, and any email you send us, including attachments.
• Purchase records when you buy coins or VIP: what you bought, when, and the status of the payment. Card details are handled by the payment provider, not stored by us.

03 Information collected while you use MatchPub

Video and audio travel between the two people in a match so that each of you can see or hear the other. We don’t ask you to upload them and we don’t sell them. If you report a user, the details of that report are kept so it can be looked at.

• Technical details such as device type, browser, operating system, approximate location from your IP address and the language your browser asks for.
• Usage events: which pages you open, when a match starts and ends, which mode you chose and whether a call connected. These help us find bugs and see which parts of the site people use.
• Small files and local storage that keep you signed in as a guest and remember settings between visits.

04 What we use it for

• To run matches, deliver messages, keep your follow list and show the online list.
• To translate text messages automatically when you and the other person write in different languages.
• To process coin and VIP purchases and show your wallet balance.
• To deal with reports, blocks and accounts that break the community guidelines.
• To keep the service working: spotting outages, fixing errors, stopping abuse and automated traffic.
• To reply when you email us.

05 Who else handles data

Some jobs are done by service providers working for us: hosting, real-time video and audio delivery, payment processing, analytics and email. They receive only what they need for their task and may not use it for their own purposes.

We may share information when the law requires it, to protect someone from harm, or if the service changes hands or is restructured, in which case this policy continues to apply. We don’t sell personal information.

06 What the people you meet can see

People you match with see whatever your camera shows on Video, hear you on Audio and read what you type on Text. Your profile, including any photo or display name you add, is visible to people who open it from the online list, a follow list or a message thread. Following someone puts them in your follow list; it doesn’t share your contact details.

07 Retention: how long MatchPub holds on to data

Account information stays while your account exists. Messages stay so both people in a conversation can read them. Purchase records are kept for the period accounting and tax law sets. Technical logs are cleared out or anonymised after a limited period. When you ask us to delete your account, we remove or anonymise what we hold, apart from records we must keep by law.

08 Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have further rights, such as objecting to certain processing or complaining to a data protection authority. We’ll answer requests within the time your local law sets.

• Edit or clear your profile at any time.
• Block or report anyone from their profile.
• Clear the site’s data in your browser to end a guest session on that device.
• Ask for a copy of your information, a correction, or deletion of your account by writing to [email protected] from the address or account you want handled.

09 Age requirement

MatchPub is only for people 18 and over. We don’t knowingly hold data about anyone under that age. If you think a minor is using the service, report the profile or write to us and we will act on it.

10 Changes to this policy

When this policy changes, the date at the top changes too. If a change is significant, we’ll make it visible on the site before it takes effect. Using MatchPub from then on means the updated policy applies to you.
