1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, date of birth, photos, heritage country, and cultural background. We also collect usage data to improve our platform and technical data such as device type and location (only when you grant permission).

2. How We Use Your Information

Your profile information is used to match you with compatible partners based on cultural background and preferences. We use your email to send match notifications, account updates, and subscription information. We never sell your personal data to third parties.

Your profile is visible only to other approved, subscribed AfriVibe members. Pausing your profile removes it from all discovery immediately. Deleting your account removes all your data from our platform permanently.

4. Photos and Media

Photos you upload are stored securely on our servers. They are visible to other approved members. We do not use your photos for advertising or share them outside the AfriVibe platform.

If you are based in the European Union or UK, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. You may also request data portability or object to processing. Contact us at privacy@afrivibe.app.
