3. Device Permissions

Our app requests the following device permissions to provide core functionality:

We use your device camera to take profile photos, capture verification selfies for identity verification, and enable video calls with your matches. Camera access is only used when you actively choose to take a photo or start a video call. We do not access your camera in the background.

Microphone Permission

We use your microphone for voice messages, voice calls, video calls, and voice-based features like voice intro recordings. Microphone access is only active during calls or when you record a voice message. We do not record audio in the background.

Location Permission

We use your location to show you potential matches in your area and calculate distances. Location is only accessed when you open the app and is not tracked in the background. You can deny this permission and manually set your location instead.

Storage Permission

We access storage to let you select photos from your gallery for your profile. We only access files you explicitly select.

Notifications Permission

We send push notifications to alert you about new matches, messages, and important updates. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings.
