Privacy Policy

Effective 2 October 2026

This policy explains how Bartind'r processes information when you use the mobile app and website.

1. Controller and contact

Bartind'r is operated by Stefano Fabiano. Contact: awalsia25@gmail.com.

2. Data we process

We may process email address, role, name, city, country, biography, experience, skills, hourly rates, workplace details, photos, videos, documents, likes, matches, messages, reactions, read status, typing status, online status, last-seen data, push tokens, authentication records and technical logs. For safety, we also process terms acceptance and its timestamp, blocks, reports, reported content snapshots, moderation decisions and review notes.

3. Purposes

4. Legal bases

Where applicable, processing is based on contract performance, legitimate interests, consent and legal obligations.

5. Providers

Bartind'r uses service providers such as Supabase for authentication, database and storage, and Expo-related services for app infrastructure and push notifications. Resend delivers transactional email alerts to the moderation team. Images uploaded to profiles and chats, including images awaiting review, are sent to OpenAI for automated visual safety moderation only after you give separate explicit permission in the app. Chat text, videos, audio and documents are not sent to OpenAI by this feature. You may choose manual moderation instead; images remain hidden from other users until approved. Change or withdraw permission in Profile → Account → AI moderation privacy. Withdrawal stops future AI processing and does not reverse analysis already completed. Your choice and its timestamp are recorded for privacy compliance. Images that cannot be approved automatically remain in the moderator review queue; video, audio and documents require manual review.

6. Sharing

Profile information may be visible to eligible users. Messages and attachments are visible to match participants, subject to blocking and moderation. Authorised moderators can access pending media and private report evidence to investigate abuse. The reported user cannot access another user's private report through the app.

7. Retention

Data is kept while the account is active and for a limited period when needed for security, backups, disputes or legal compliance.

8. Deletion

Delete your account in the app through Profile → Account → Delete account, or use the web deletion page.

9. Rights

Depending on your location, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or object to processing.

10. Children

Bartind'r is intended for users aged 18 or older.

11. Security

Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards are used, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.

12. Changes

This policy may be updated as the service changes.
