Our Ability 2 Love Privacy Policy (the "Policy") welcomes you to our site. This section describes the information we collect from you, where we store it, how we keep it secure, and with whom we share it. Please review our Terms and Conditions of Use while reading this.
This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect about you when you use our Sites, which include the Ability 2 Love mobile application (including the desktop version) ("App"), our websites and microsites (such as Bumble.com), and our digital products and services (such as our competitions or surveys). Also, you can use the App or Sites to communicate with other people, such as your friends and contacts ("Users"), who have downloaded the App or Sites. There may be situations when we need to pass along your data as well.
The App and Sites are international, so regardless of where you live, your data will be transferred to and processed in the United States and the United Kingdom. Please take the time to read this Policy carefully as it describes how we safeguard your personal information during international transfers.

In this policy, "Ability 2 Love Group" refers to Ability 2 Love Holding Limited, Badoo Trading Limited, and Ability 2 Love Trading LLC, all of which are controllers of personal information collected and processed through the Ability 2 Love App and Sites.

ONE. GATHERING DATA.
Data Required for Registration
Information such as your name, username, email address, mobile phone number, gender, date of birth, sexual orientation, photos, location, and social media login details may be collected ("Registration Information") when you download the app and create an account ("Account") (this could include, for example, your Facebook and Instagram accounts). Linking additional accounts to Bumble is discussed in detail in section 7 below.
Except for your date of birth and location (which is automatically updated based on the location of your device if you have given Ability 2 Love access to your location in your device settings), you will have the ability to review and change this information at any time simply by logging in to Ability 2 Love. Maintaining an accurate and up-to-date profile is your duty. Be sure to modify your account information if you get a new phone number.
We use this data to make the app better and to ensure that our users are real people and not machines trying to access the app. Users who access your profile may be able to see your sexual orientation, name, and username that you provided during registration.
Users who are located in California should be aware that the following types of information are considered "personal information" under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):
To the extent that you voluntarily provide it, the following types of information may be collected: • A. Identifiers such as name and location; • B. Personal information as defined by the California customer records law, such as contact (including email and telephone number) and financial information; • C. Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law, such as age, gender identity, marital status, sexual orientation, race, ancestry, national origin, religion, and medical conditions; • D. Commercially relevant information
Details About Yourself
Please consider carefully the personal information you share (and share with all our members). We also advise against publishing personally identifiable information such as email addresses, URLs, instant messaging data, phone numbers, complete names, physical addresses, credit card details, social security numbers, national identification numbers, or driver's licence details.
The amount of personal information you choose to provide when making a public profile or communicating with other Users via the message system is entirely up to you. If you want to know more about who can see your content on Bumble, check out Section 4 below.
Details for Confirming Your Profile (Including Biometric Information)
For security purposes and to provide you with the greatest experience, we request that all Users verify their accounts. This process may involve us asking for your phone number and, in some cases, requiring you to submit a photo of yourself. Please prove that you are not a robot so that we may continue. Moreover, we wish to steer clear of any phoney Accounts on Ability 2 Love being made that can be used for cybercrime and other forms of criminal activity are a hazard to the network and a nuisance to its users. We may need this confirmation to safeguard against fraudulent transactions. The blue'verified' emblem can be added to your profile if you choose to voluntarily validate your photo.
Each profile picture you provide will be scanned if you choose for photo verification. In order to verify your identity, we may utilise facial recognition software in conjunction with the scan to compare the photo you provide with your profile picture. Your profile will not be updated with the verification images. We preserve the scans for as long as we need them to authenticate you in the future and for our record-keeping purposes, which is three years after your last engagement with us. After the expiration of the relevant retention period, we erase the scans permanently and securely from our systems using commercially reasonable means.
Acquisitive Transaction Data
If you elect to pay for one of our premium services, we'll handle the financial transaction and store your sensitive data safely for fraud detection and audit/tax reasons.
When it comes to stopping fraudulent payments from going through, Ability 2 Love relies on automatic choices as part of its anti-fraud measures. The way we do this is by monitoring financial transactions for activity that would point to a violation of our Terms and Conditions of Use. A transaction may be automatically rejected if it fulfils specific criteria indicating that the Terms and Conditions of Use have likely been exceeded and the transaction is likely to be fraudulent. Users whose transactions are prohibited will receive an email explaining why. If they disagree with this decision, they can contact Ability 2 Love.
Please be aware that as part of our anti-spam and anti-fraud policies, any other accounts you may have on Ability 2 Love Group platforms/applications, such as Badoo, may also be blocked if your account here is blocked.
Localization Details
Ability 2 Love may gather information about WiFi access points and other location information such as longitude and latitude and may record your device's coordinates in order to provide you with certain features if you have enabled location services on your mobile device. By identifying your location, we can tailor the App to your preferences and make it simpler for you to connect with other Users by, for example, displaying your general locality information to other Users who view your profile or displaying the profiles of other Users who are in close proximity to you.
Allowing Ability 2 Love access to your location can be turned off in a few different ways.

Additionally, we may be in touch to see if you'd be interested in sharing some comments, giving a testimonial, or taking part in some promotional activities (for example, if you let us know that you have found a match on the App, we may contact you to ask if you would be happy to feature in advertising for Bumble). Surveys and promotional offers like these are entirely voluntary, and you may get more details about them when you first get in touch. Contact our Customer Support Team via the Feedback Page if you do not want to be contacted for the purposes of surveys or marketing campaigns.

In the event of a criminal investigation or when necessary to protect the health or safety of an individual, we will also cooperate with law enforcement investigations from inside or outside your place of residence. To protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security, or technical issues (e.g., through anti-spam providers to protect the Service from criminal activity or to ensure the proper functioning of the Service), we may be required to preserve or disclose any information, including your Registration Information.

FURTHER DETAILS ON THE DISCLOSURES
Suppliers of Services
When it comes to specific tasks and services, we rely on reliable outside parties ("Service Providers") to help us out. Depending on the specifics of a User's interaction with our App, Sites, and services, Ability 2 Love may share personal information with a different set of vendors. Some of the common vendors we work with to bring our services to our Users are listed below.
Companies offering social media platforms that enable users to create or link their Ability 2 Love account to their existing account(s) on those sites (for example Facebook, Instagram or Spotify)
To better our products and services, we do market research and consumer surveys through external platforms (like Typeform) and firms (like Kantar).
We only provide personally identifiable information that is strictly necessary for the Service Provider to perform that Service, and we conduct due diligence on all Service Providers we employ to ensure they have suitable data protection and information security safeguards in place. Every effort is made to ensure that the information provided is de-identified to the fullest extent possible, and our vendors are subject to stringent duties under our contractual arrangements, including rigorous data retention restrictions.
Organizations That Offer Marketing Services
To market and advertise our App and services on third-party websites and applications and to monitor the efficacy of our advertising campaigns, we work with providers of marketing services (such as Facebook, for example) ('Marketing Services Providers'). For instance:
Ability 2 Love will use the information it collects to: • keep you from seeing ads for new users if you already have an account; • target ads to people who have visited the Ability 2 Love app/sites but haven't signed up for an account; and • build a target audience of people who might be interested in our ads based on the information the Marketing Service Providers already have about you (a "Lookalike Audience") (a custom audience is essentially a list of people who we think are most likely to be interested in a particular advertisement).
We provide these Marketing Services Providers with limited personal information, including: • the advertising identifier associated with your device (this is a random number assigned to your device by your mobile device manufacturer, for example Apple or Google, to help advertisers (including the manufacturer) know when an ad has been viewed or clicked in an app, and when an ad causes a 'conversion' (for example, downloading the app advertised to you)); • your estimated location; and (based on your IP address)
Information about your use of our Sites or App and any related actions (for example if you downloaded our App or created an account with our App)
*Hashing is a kind of encryption in which information is transformed into a string of random numbers and letters; this code cannot be linked back to the original email address. Hashed email addresses are provided to a Marketing Service Provider, where they are compared to the Marketing Service Provider's own database of users' hashed information, and then our adverts are displayed to the Users whose information matches the Marketing Service Provider's database. The Provider then deletes both the matched and mismatched hashes.
Please refer to our Cookie Policy for additional details on our use of cookies and other tracking technologies, as well as instructions on how to adjust your personal preferences in this regard.
These third parties may also put the information they acquire to their own use; for instance, they may combine it with data they already have in order to better tailor their advertising services to the needs of their other customers.
When we use Facebook as a marketing service provider (including through the "Like" button), both Facebook Ireland and our company share responsibility for the data processing that occurs. Because of this arrangement, Ability 2 Love is providing you with this notice, but if you want to exercise your data protection rights, you should get in touch with Facebook. Facebook Ireland's Data Policy contains more details, such as how the company responds to requests to exercise your data protection rights and how it uses that information going forward in its capacity as an independent data controller. Email DPO@team.bumble.com if you have any questions about the agreement we have with Facebook.
Your activities on our website, such as your interactions with our Sites or other information gathered by cookies or similar technologies, such as the Facebook pixel, are examples of the types of data we may collect from you. Insights like these help us fine-tune our advertising strategies and provide you and those like you with more relevant advertisements (including on social media such as Facebook).
Fourth, PERCEPTIONS OF OTHERS.
We created these features because we think our Users are great and we want you to tell the world about how great you are. The goal of our App is to facilitate communication between you and other Users.
You should anticipate that anyone, including people who aren't Users of the Ability 2 Love App, will be able to see and access any content you post or submit on the App. Users should exercise caution when submitting personal information that could be made public.
Be cautious about sharing private information in your profile, such as your health status or religious affiliation. When you add particular Ability 2 Love badges to your profile, you may also be giving the site insight into personal details like your religion and political affiliation. While we encourage you to tell us about your sexual preferences when you create your profile, it is not required. Keep in mind that the photos you upload to Ability 2 Love may also reveal personal details about you. By adding a badge to your profile or otherwise uploading personal information, you give us permission to handle and display this information to other Users.
Users may view and share your Ability 2 Love profile and other information you make available via the App with individuals who may or may not be users of the App. This includes certain information added to your profile through third party accounts (such as Facebook, Instagram, or Spotify - see section 7 of this Privacy Policy for more information on this). If a User likes you and thinks you'd make a good match for one of their Facebook friends, that User can share a snapshot of your profile with those friends, regardless of whether or not those friends are also App users.
In accordance with local law, Ability 2 Love provides Users in South Korea the option to download a copy of their conversation history, but we cannot control what its users do with that information thereafter.
If you access the App through your Facebook or another third-party account on a device that you share with others, you must remember to log out of the App and the applicable third-party account before you leave the device to avoid unauthorised access to your Ability 2 Love account.
Sorry kids, we realise Ability 2 Love is wonderful, but you'll have to come back when you're old enough to use the App, even though we want as many people as possible to enjoy our creation.
Ability 2 Love does not solicit or collect information from anyone under the age of 18 or use such information for marketing purposes. Please do not provide any personal information to us if you are less than 18 years of age. If it comes to our attention that a person under the age of 18 has registered with us and supplied us with personally identifying information, we will promptly delete that person's account.
SIXTH, SAFETY.
We at Bumble are committed to safeguarding your personal data against theft, abuse, and unauthorised access or disclosure in accordance with industry standards. Security measures, such as firewalls and encrypted storage, are among the steps we take to protect your information.
We cannot promise that your information will be totally safe against unauthorised access, hacking, data loss, or any other type of breach because no website or Internet communication can ever be 100% secure.
In order to protect your privacy, always log out of your Account when you're done using it.
You should periodically change your password.
Please follow the instructions below if you ever have reason to believe that an unauthorised party has gained access to your Account or password. Your personal information is transmitted to our site at your own risk, as we cannot ensure its security during transit.
7: INTEGRATING OTHER ACCOUNTS WITH BUMBLE.
Access Bumble with your existing social media credentials.
If you choose to log in to our app with your Facebook credentials, Facebook will receive your approval to share your name and profile image with us. You agree that Facebook may provide us with your email address (if one is associated with your Facebook account), date of birth, profile pictures, gender, Pages liked, and current location or town unless you opt out.
When you sign up for an Apple service or sign in with your Apple ID, Apple has your consent to share your Apple ID, a name (which you can change), and an email address (you can choose to hide your email and Apple will create a random email address so your personal email can stay private). Enter the email address you want associated with your Ability 2 Love account.
We'll use the information you provide to create your Ability 2 Love profile. You can prevent us from accessing this information by removing the Ability 2 Love app from your Facebook settings or from your Apple ID. Personal information you provided when you created your Ability 2 Love account with Facebook or Apple ID will, however, remain in our records (you must delete your Ability 2 Love account entirely for us to no longer have access to this data).
Connecting your Ability 2 Love profile to your other social media platforms
Ability 2 Love permits users to connect their profiles with those of Instagram, Facebook, and Spotify. Sharing information from these accounts with your Ability 2 Love account is now a breeze (for example, Instagram photos, or your top Spotify artists).
When you link your Instagram or Spotify account to your Ability 2 Love account, we only receive the information that Instagram or Spotify allows to be transferred (as described by Instagram/Facebook/Spotify and accepted by you when you first connect your account from such platforms with your Ability 2 Love account).
If you no longer wish to share content from Ability 2 Love on Instagram, Facebook, or Spotify, you may unlink your accounts by going to the respective social media platform's settings and revoking rights for the Ability 2 Love app. You must erase the information from your Ability 2 Love account as well, as it will not be removed from the other services.
BFF MEMBERS: EXTRA INFO NO. 8.
If you create a profile on BFF, you may include details about yourself (like your beliefs and political leanings). You are not required to include this information in your profile, but are welcome to if you choose.
Justifications for why we can legally use your personal information in BFF are as follows:
For us to provide the BFF services and features you've requested and fulfil our contract with you, we need to process your personal data. Your location and interest data will be processed, for instance, so that you only see material and groups that are relevant to you. In BFF, we also have a legitimate interest in collecting and processing personal information. We have a vested interest in making it easy for users of the Ability 2 Love app to meet each other.
By uploading and choosing to share personal information (such as sexual orientation, religious affiliation, or political affiliation), you are providing your informed consent to have that information shared with other BFF members.
Using Your Data to Suggest People and Media to You
If you use BFF, we might base recommendations on things like your activities, relationships, and content consumption history.
Through BFF, you can connect with others who share your interests in a specific area or who are studying the same subject. Based on data about your location, activities, life, and interests, we will suggest groups for you to join automatically.
Who Can View Your Content and Join Your Site
Bestie Talk
A member from a neighbouring area may be able to locate a specific BFF chat group. Nearby users will be able to view the whole list of members, as well as the chat group's location, title, and description if the group has made itself discoverable. As a result, people in close proximity to you may learn personal details about you, such as your sexual orientation, health, or political views, depending on the nature and topic of the chat group. By participating in these searchable BFF chat rooms, you agree that we may collect and disclose such highly personal information about you to other Users.
Unless they join the chat in question, BFF members won't be privy to the conversation going on within it.
It's important to keep in mind that some parts of BFF are accessible to anybody and everyone. Ability 2 Love BFF is a public platform, therefore everyone can view your activities and whatever content you submit there.
The California Consumer Privacy Act provides the following rights to California residents (in addition to those listed at section 10 below), including the right to be free from unlawful discrimination for exercising those rights:
You have the right to request that we provide you with specific information and details about how we have acquired, used, and shared your personal information in the past 12 months.
Second, with limited circumstances, you can ask us to erase the personal data we've gathered from you.
The "Shine the Light" law of California, codified at Civil Code section 1798.83, mandates that some businesses disclose their policies regarding the disclosure of personal information to third parties for the third parties' direct marketing objectives to customers in California upon request. Please contact us in writing at the address below if you have any questions about your rights under Section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code.
When we run a promotion in conjunction with a third party, we may share your contact details with that party so that they can sell their goods and services to you if you choose to take part in the promotion. When this is a requirement for a given promotion, we will always make it clear to you beforehand. To stop receiving messages from third parties, please use the methods they specify.
Further, to the extent that the operator collects personal information about a consumer over time and across third-party online services, the operator must disclose how it responds to "do not track" signals or similar methods that give customers the chance to exercise choice. We do not currently collect or store personal data about our Users over time or across different websites. This law also mandates that operators of online services warn their users about whether or not third parties may collect personal information about their users' online activities over time and across different online services. In no way do we allow third parties to track a user's online actions over time and across different online services while they use the App without the user's express permission.
TEN. YOUR PRIVILEDGES.
To the extent that privacy laws in your nation afford you any protections, you may be entitled to:
Individuals have the right to know what data an organisation is collecting on them and why (we provide this information to you in this Privacy Policy).
In accordance with your right of access, you have the option of obtaining a copy of your information by submitting a request to the data controller.
Third, you have the "right to rectification" if any of your personal information that we have stored is incorrect.
Right to erasure — the ability to have one's data erased under specific conditions.
Fifth, you have the right to restrict processing, which means that under certain conditions you can ask that your data be suppressed from further use but still be stored.
Sixth, you have the "right to data portability," which allows you to obtain a copy of your information in a machine-readable format so that you can give it to an other service provider if you so choose.
Seventh, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for specific reasons (such as when it is being used for direct marketing or because of legitimate interests).
In cases where a person's rights are affected by a decision made entirely by automated processing, such as in the case of profiling, there are various rights linked to this subject. In such a situation, one of your rights is to demand human involvement in the decision-making procedure.
Depending on where you live, the specific set of rights that apply to you may differ from those described above. You should educate yourself on the privacy protections afforded to you by the laws of your country.
