SideMe is a serious-dating service that matches people on who they really are. This policy explains what we collect, why, how we use it, and the choices and rights you have. We keep data to what the matching needs. Nothing is sold, and nothing you answer is shown publicly.
SideMe (“SideMe”, “we”, “us”) operates the SideMe mobile and web application. We are the controller of the personal data described here. For any privacy question or request, contact privacy@sideme.sg, or use the in-app Contact screen.
SideMe is a dating service for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18; if we learn an account belongs to a minor, we remove it.
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Account | Email address, username, hashed password, email-confirmation status. If you continue with Google: the name and email address Google shares with us (never your Google password). |
| Interview (“KYC”) | Date of birth, gender, origins, height/weight/build, family background, religion and practice, education, work, income band, housing, relationship history, children, and optional star sign / Myers-Briggs type. |
| Resonance & astrology (optional) | Scores derived from an attachment/temperament/values questionnaire; birth date and hour if you complete the Chinese-zodiac or Bazi features. |
| Photos | Your rating photo and any gallery photos you add. |
| Ratings | Anonymous appearance ratings you give to and receive from other members. |
| Matches & messages | Who you are matched with, messages and reactions exchanged in a match, and any match reviews you submit. |
| Approximate location | Your country, derived from your connecting IP address (we do not ask for or track precise GPS location). |
| Technical | IP address, device/app information, and diagnostic logs used for security and troubleshooting. |
| App usage (Android app) | Whether you installed and opened the app, created an account and finished the interview, with your device’s advertising ID. None of your answers, photos or messages. |
Our legal bases are your consent (which you may withdraw) and the performance of our service to you. We rely on consent for the sensitive categories in section 3.
When the beacon matches you with someone, that person sees a limited visitor profile (e.g. first name/age, photos, and selected interview facts). They never see your ratings, your exact origins or family wealth, your moderation status, or your raw answers. Appearance ratings are always anonymous to both sides.
We do not sell your personal data. We share limited data only with service providers who process it on our behalf:
We may also disclose data where required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our members and SideMe.
We keep your data while your account is active. If you take a break, your account stays active: your profile is hidden and kept until you come back or delete it. When you delete your account, it is hidden and signed out immediately, and kept for 30 days so you can restore it by signing in. After 30 days we delete your profile, photos, interview answers, and associated data, except where we must retain limited records to meet legal obligations or resolve disputes. Diagnostic logs are kept for a short period and then discarded.
Passwords are stored hashed, photos are served through short-lived signed links so they cannot be hot-linked, and access to member data is restricted. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.
To exercise any right, email privacy@sideme.sg.
Your data may be processed on servers located outside your country. Where it is, we take steps to ensure it remains protected in line with this policy and applicable law.
We may update this policy as the service evolves. We will change the “last updated” date above and, for material changes, notify you in the app or by email.
