MateUp may use services such as Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and Firebase Storage for authentication, data storage, and profile photo storage.

MateUp may use Google Analytics for Firebase to measure basic usage events in aggregate, including first open, sessions, screen views, and app interactions. This data is processed to analyze app performance and feature usage. Advertising identifier support is not used by the iOS Analytics integration.

MateUp may use in-app purchase services such as RevenueCat to verify and manage Premium subscriptions.

MateUp may use Meta App Events to measure app events such as installation and first open, evaluate marketing performance, and improve the app. Meta may process the app version, device/platform information, app interactions, and—when permission is granted—an advertising identifier for this purpose.

When you sign in with Google, Google provides the token and basic account information needed to verify your identity. Your Google account privacy settings are managed by Google.

Email verification and password reset links may be sent through Firebase.

Photo library or gallery permission may be requested to choose a profile photo. If denied, photo upload features may not work.

If notification permission is granted, match, message, team, live-lobby, ready-player, reward, or account-related notifications may be sent. Category and game preferences can be managed in the app, while all notification permission can be disabled in iOS or Android settings.

On iOS, Apple’s App Tracking Transparency permission is requested separately for advertising measurement. If permission is denied, the advertising identifier is not shared with Meta; basic aggregated app events may still be measured without that identifier.

MateUp does not need to collect precise location; profile location can use country and city information that you choose.

Web links opened from the app may use secure browser or authentication screens provided by iOS or Android.

Some profile information may be visible to other users, including username, photo/avatar, optional gender information, city/country, games, platforms, languages, and optional social links.

Messages are used for the relevant match conversation and may be reviewed when safety, reporting, or legal requirements apply.

Your personal information is not sold. It is not shared with third parties except for necessary service providers, safety processes, or legal obligations.

In-app ad requests are sent as non-personalized requests. An advertising identifier may be used only when device and operating-system permissions allow it, for app-install attribution and marketing measurement. On iOS this use is subject to Apple’s tracking permission.

If you choose an optional rewarded ad for bonus swipes, one-time session and transaction identifiers are processed through Google server-side verification. A reward is granted only once for the same transaction.

Brand or partnership announcements may appear in the app. Sponsored content is clearly labeled; if you tap an announcement link, the third party’s site opens in the system browser and that site’s privacy terms apply.

Your information may be kept while your account is active or for a reasonable period needed for safety or legal requirements.

You can sign out, edit profile details, change the app language, and manage device permissions from operating-system settings.

You can permanently delete your account and associated data from Profile > Account Settings. A content-free audit record using a one-way identifier hash may be retained for up to 90 days for security and proof of completion.

For privacy or data requests, use the published contact address on the in-app Support and Safety page.

MateUp is not designed for people under 16. If you believe someone under 16 has created an account, you can report it to us.

This policy may be updated from time to time. For important changes, we may notify you in the app or through other appropriate channels.
