Privacy Policy

Thai Mingles, a sole proprietorship based in Hong Kong, is responsible for your personal data. Contact us any time at contact@thaimingles.com.

Before launch (this website): your email address if you join the waitlist, and your name, email and message if you use the contact form.

In the app:

• Account: email address and password (stored only in hashed form), or your Google, Apple or LINE sign-in if you choose one.
• Profile: name, date of birth, gender, what you're looking for, photos, bio, city and country, and any optional details you add (languages, interests, nationality and so on).
• Location: the city you choose — or, only if you tap "Locate me", your device location rounded to about 100 m. Other members only ever see an approximate distance, never your location.
• Activity: likes, matches, profile views, messages, reports and blocks, and when you were last active.
• Photo verification (optional): the selfie you take and face measurements compared with your profile photos to confirm it's you. This is biometric data and we use it only for verification.
• Payments: your plan and payment status from Stripe. We never receive your full card number.
• Device: push-notification tokens and basic technical logs.

To run the service (profiles, Discover, messaging, notifications you've allowed), to keep members safe (photo moderation, verification, preventing fraud and abuse), to process payments, to send account emails, and to translate messages when you ask us to.

• Other members see your profile — your age, not your date of birth, and never your email address or exact location.
• Service providers who process data for us: Stripe (payments), Brevo (email), Microsoft Azure (translating a message only when you ask), our hosting and database providers, and Cloudflare (website delivery).
• Authorities, only where the law requires it or to protect someone's safety.

We don't sell your data and we don't use advertising trackers.

Our service providers may store or process data outside your country (for example in the EU or the United States), with appropriate safeguards in place.

We keep your data while your account exists. When you delete your account, we delete your profile, photos and messages, keeping only what the law requires (such as payment records) or what's needed to deal with abuse. Verification selfies are deleted after review. Waitlist emails are kept until launch communications are done, or until you ask us to delete them.

In the app you can download your data (Settings → Download my data) and delete your account (Settings → Delete account) at any time. You can also email contact@thaimingles.com to access, correct or delete your data, or to object to how we use it. We follow applicable data protection law, including Hong Kong's Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act.

We don't use analytics or advertising cookies. The app stores your sign-in session and small preferences on your device so it works; nothing is used to track you across other sites.

Thai Mingles is for people aged 18 and over. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18 and delete accounts we find belong to a minor.

We use encrypted connections, store passwords only in hashed form and limit who can access data. No system is perfectly secure — please tell us about any concern.

We'll update the date at the top of this page when we change this policy, and tell you in the app or by email about significant changes.
