Epoch (“Epoch,” the “App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a mobile dating application operated by Volveth LLC. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you use Epoch. It applies to the App and to epoch.date.
Epoch is intended solely for people who are at least 18 years old. You must be 18 or older to create an account or use the App. We do not knowingly collect information from, or provide the App to, anyone under 18. See Section 12.
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Account | Email address and password (passwords are handled and stored in hashed form by Google Firebase Authentication; we never see your plaintext password). |
| Profile | Display name, date of birth (used to confirm you are 18+ and to calculate your age), gender and dating preferences, bio, and profile photos. |
| Content | Messages, photos (including ephemeral photos), and other content you send within matches. |
| Support & reports | Information you submit when you report another user, contact support, or otherwise communicate with us. |
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Approximate location | With your permission, your device’s coarse location (latitude/longitude at low accuracy), which we convert into an approximate area (a “geohash” cell roughly 3 miles / 5 km across) to show you nearby matches. We do not store a continuous location history. |
| Device & technical | Device model, operating system, app version, language, IP address, and identifiers such as your Firebase installation ID and mobile advertising identifier. |
| Diagnostics | Crash reports and error diagnostics via Google Firebase Crashlytics. |
| Usage | Interactions within the App (e.g., likes, matches, watch alerts) needed to operate features. |
We receive your subscription and purchase status from RevenueCat and the Google Play billing system when you buy a subscription or in-app item, so we can unlock the features you paid for. We do not receive your full payment-card details.
To keep Epoch safe, photos uploaded to the App may be automatically scanned using Google Cloud Vision and related tooling to detect nudity, explicit content, and other policy violations. We have a zero-tolerance policy for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) and for any sexual content involving minors. Where required by law, we report apparent child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and/or relevant authorities, and we may preserve related information for those purposes. You can report other users or content from within the App.
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information as follows:
Free-tier users see advertisements served through Google AdMob. AdMob may use your device’s advertising identifier and related data to show and measure ads, including personalized ads where permitted. You can limit ad personalization through your device settings (e.g., “Reset advertising ID” / “Opt out of Ads Personalization” on Android) and at Google Ad Settings. Purchasing our ad-free subscription removes ads within the App.
We keep personal information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the App. When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify your personal information within a reasonable period, except where we must retain certain information to comply with legal obligations (for example, records related to safety reports or child-safety obligations), resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.
We use industry-standard safeguards provided by Google Cloud/Firebase, including encryption in transit and access controls, to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You can review and update your profile in the App, and you can delete your account and associated data from within the App’s settings at any time. See how to delete your account and data (including how to request deletion without the app).
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know, access, correct, and delete your personal information, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and of certain targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information for money; certain advertising activity (Section 7) may be considered “sharing” under California law, and you can opt out via your device ad settings or by contacting us. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, and port your personal data, and to object to certain processing. Our legal bases include performance of our contract with you (providing the App), your consent (e.g., location and personalized ads), our legitimate interests (safety and improvement), and compliance with legal obligations. You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise any right, contact us at privacy@epoch.date. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
We and our providers may process and store information in the United States and other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) for cross-border transfers.
Epoch is strictly for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a user is under 18, we will terminate the account and delete the information. If you believe a minor is using Epoch, contact us immediately at privacy@epoch.date.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version here and revise the “Last updated” date. Material changes will be communicated through the App or by other reasonable means.
