Protect Your Privacy on Dating Apps

<h2>What Data Do Apps Collect?</h2> <p>Dating apps collect location data, device info, usage patterns, photos, messages, and purchase history. Some sell anonymised data to third parties.</p> <h2>Privacy Settings to Change Now</h2> <p>Disable precise location (use approximate), limit photo access, review connected social accounts, and disable personalised ads where possible.</p> <h2>Protecting Your Identity</h2> <p>Use a Google Voice number or burner phone for initial contacts. Don't include your workplace or exact neighbourhood in your profile. Reverse-search your own photos to check exposure.</p>
