Welcome to PEYWENDI. We are committed to protecting your personal data and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable privacy laws.
By using PEYWENDI, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Your photos are processed for profile display and matching. We use face detection technology for verification purposes to ensure profile authenticity. Photos are stored securely and shared only with users who match with you or view your profile.
Your voice recordings (voice introductions and voice messages) are stored on our secure servers and shared with potential matches and users you match with. You can delete your voice introduction at any time from your profile settings.
We use Google Gemini API to generate AI-powered first impressions and analyze compatibility between profiles. Your voice recordings may be processed by AI to create text summaries and compatibility scores. This AI processing happens in real-time and the generated insights are stored to enhance your profile. Voice audio files are stored separately on our secure servers. We do not share your raw voice data with third parties except as necessary to provide our AI features.
We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:
Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights:
You can request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. Use our data export feature to download your data.
You can correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data through your profile settings.
You can request deletion of your account and personal data from our account settings. Note: We may retain certain data for legal compliance.
You can receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used format (JSON) through our data export feature.
You can request that we limit how we use your personal data in certain circumstances.
You can object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time.
We retain your personal data as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes.
To comply with GDPR data minimization principles and protect your privacy, accounts that remain inactive for extended periods are subject to automatic deletion:
To keep your account active: Simply log in to PEYWENDI at least once every 2 years. Any activity (logging in, swiping, messaging, or updating your profile) resets the inactivity timer.
Opt-out option: If you wish to keep your account indefinitely even when inactive, you can enable the "Keep my account even when inactive" option in your account settings. This prevents automatic deletion due to inactivity while still complying with GDPR requirements.
When you delete your account manually or when it is automatically deleted due to inactivity, most personal data is removed immediately. Your account enters a 30-day grace period during which you can cancel the deletion by logging in. After 30 days, your account and all associated data are permanently deleted, including:
Note: Your messages are anonymized (sender information removed) rather than deleted to preserve conversation history for other users. Transaction records are retained for legal compliance.
We retain transaction records and subscription history for accounting, tax, and legal compliance purposes, typically for 7 years as required by law. This data is kept separately from your profile and is used solely for compliance purposes.
Voice introductions: Retained while your account is active and deleted within 30 days of account deletion.
Voice messages: Retained for 90 days after sending, then automatically deleted to protect your privacy. You can delete individual voice messages at any time from the chat interface.
Your profile information, photos, and voice introductions are shared with other users for matching purposes.
We share data with trusted service providers who help us operate our service:
Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data:
PEYWENDI strictly enforces an 18+ age requirement. During signup, you must verify your date of birth. We may also require photo verification to ensure you are at least 18 years old. We use automated systems and manual review to detect and prevent underage users from accessing our service.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 years of age. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, please contact us immediately at privacy@peywendi.app. Accounts found to belong to minors will be immediately terminated and all associated data will be deleted.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by email or through a prominent notice on our service. The "Last updated" date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last revised.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, want to exercise your data rights, or have concerns about how we handle your personal data, please contact us:
Email: privacy@peywendi.app
Data Protection Officer: dpo@peywendi.app
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe we have not handled your personal data properly.
