Health Data Privacy
Last updated: 11 October 2026
What counts as health information
The optional health section of your profile: HIV status, the month of your last test, testing reminders, health practices (for example PrEP or condom use) and vaccinations. Under Article 9 GDPR this is a special category of personal data.
Only with your explicit consent
Nothing in the health section is required. Before your first health entry the app asks for your explicit consent in a separate step (Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR) and records when you gave it. Without that consent no health information is stored.
Who can see it
Health information is shown only to members you have exchanged messages with — not in browsing, search or the feed. It is never used for advertising, matching scores or anything other than showing it as you chose.
Where it is stored
On our own servers in the EU (Finland), together with the rest of your profile. It is not shared with any third party and not sent to any AI service. Access by our team is limited to handling a report or a request from you, and is logged.
Removing it and withdrawing consent
You can change or clear any health field at any time in the app; a cleared field is deleted. Deleting your account deletes all of it. Withdrawing consent does not affect what was shown before.
Your rights
You have the rights described in our Privacy Policy — access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection — and you can complain to a supervisory authority.
