Messages are private between the participating members, subject to legitimate moderation, security, legal, or safety requirements.

9. Photographs

Public profile photographs are not required on PostedLove.

Members may voluntarily:

Depending on the verification method used, we may process:

• Identification information.
• Verification results.

When you access PostedLove, we may automatically collect technical information such as:

• IP address.
• Device type.
• Browser type.
• Operating system.
• Login records.
• Security logs.
• Approximate location derived from technical information.
• Session information.
• Cookie identifiers.
• Failed login attempts.

This information may be used to operate and protect the platform, detect abuse, prevent fraud, identify unusual login activity, flag possible multiple-account or ban-evasion patterns, maintain account security, and investigate security incidents. An IP address or similar technical signal is treated as a security indicator and not, by itself, as proof of a person’s identity or misconduct.

• Reporter account.
• Reported account.
• Reason for the report.

These interests must be balanced against your privacy rights.

Legal Obligation

Information may be processed where required to comply with applicable law.

Search tools are intended to help members reduce the number of introductions they need to review.

The final decision about whom to contact remains with the member.

PostedLove may use information such as:

Advertising may include:

• Display advertisements.
• Sponsored placements.
• Short video advertisements.
• Film or television promotions.
• Book promotions.
• Travel or lifestyle advertising.

PostedLove intends to keep advertising separate from sensitive relationship-profile information.

Advertisers should not receive unrestricted access to member profiles, private messages, photographs, or sensitive personal information.

Advertisers should not receive access to individual private conversations or member identity documents.

If this practice ever changes, this Privacy Policy must be updated and any consent required by law must be obtained beforehand.

This may include:

• An adequacy decision.

Deleted Accounts

Personal information should normally be deleted or anonymised after the applicable retention period unless continued retention is required by law or justified for security, fraud prevention, or legal claims.

Before launch, PostedLove should establish a detailed internal retention schedule.
