find mePrivacy policy
This policy explains what information the Find me app collects, why, and the choices you have. Find me is run by 2050connect in Kigali, Rwanda ("we"). Contact: rw2050connect@gmail.com.
What we collect
- Account: your email address (or phone number) used to sign in.
- Profile: first name, date of birth (to confirm you are 18+; others see only your age), city, short bio, languages, photos, what you are looking for (friendship and/or a serious relationship) and your activities.
- Approximate location: your phone's location, rounded to about 1 km before it leaves your phone, to set your country and show distances. Your exact location is never stored or shown to anyone.
- Messages and photos you send in chats, meetup invitations, and records of video calls (who called whom and when, not the call itself).
- Verification selfie, if you choose to verify your profile. Only our moderators see it.
- Safety records: blocks and reports you make or that are made about you.
- Settings: who can contact you, discreet mode, video call setting and language.
Face ID, Touch ID and fingerprint checks happen entirely on your phone. We never receive your face or fingerprint data.
How we use it
- To run the app: show you people with the same intention and activities in your country, deliver messages, invitations and calls.
- To keep people safe: enforce the 18+ rule, review reports and verification selfies, and suspend accounts that break our rules.
- To answer you when you contact us.
We do not sell your information, we do not show ads, and we do not use your information for advertising.
Who we share it with
- Other members see your public profile (first name, age, city, bio, photos, activities, verified badge, rounded distance). Messages are only visible to the people in that chat.
- Service providers that run Find me for us: Supabase (database, storage and sign-in, hosted in Ireland, EU) and Daily (video calls). They may only use the information to provide their service to us.
- Apple and Google, if you make purchases through their stores.
- Authorities, when the law requires it or to protect someone from serious harm.
How long we keep it
We keep your information while your account exists. When you delete your account, your profile, photos, selfie, messages you sent and connections are deleted. Reports about safety are kept without your name so we can keep the community safe. Server backups are overwritten within 30 days.
You can delete any message or photo you sent, at any time, for both people in the chat. View-once photos can be opened one time only.
Your choices and rights
- Edit your profile, photos and settings in the app at any time.
- Hide from Discover, control who can send you requests, and turn video calls off.
- Delete your account in the app: Profile, then Delete my account. Or see how to delete your account.
- Ask us for a copy of your information or to correct it by emailing rw2050connect@gmail.com. Depending on where you live (for example under Rwanda's data protection law, Kenya's Data Protection Act, Nigeria's NDPA, South Africa's POPIA or India's DPDP Act), you may have further rights, including to complain to your data protection authority.
Age
Find me is only for people aged 18 or older. We remove accounts of anyone under 18. See our child safety standards.
Security
Information is sent over encrypted connections and protected by access rules, so people can only see what they are allowed to see. No system is perfectly secure; tell us at once if you think your account has been misused.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date above and tell you in the app when the change is important.
