Our Policy applies to your use of any of mobile applications and/or websites of Teamo Dating Service (“Teamo ” or the “Site” which includes the mobile apps (the “App”)). We suggest you read it in conjunction with our Agreement of Use (the “Terms”). When you access or use the site or the App, you agree to our Privacy Policy and you consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal data as we’ve set out in this Policy. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Depending on your jurisdiction you can do it either by using special option in your profile or by addressing to our support team from your profile.

1. App users and visitors to our Site


What information does Teamo collect if I decide to register with the Site or the App or use some of the features?


  To register with the Site or the App you will have to complete our online registration form and create your user profile (the “Profile”). We will ask you to provide us with information about you such as your name, your email address, your gender, your date of birth, your location details. You also have the opportunity to provide other details about yourself, but these are optional. Because you control your user profile, these details are available to you at any time by accessing your “Profile” page, which gives you the chance to correct or update (other than gender and age) your information at any time by just logging in to the Site or the App.
Once you have created a Profile, we will automatically track certain information such as your IP address.
For safety and security and to ensure you have the best possible user experience, we require users to verify their accounts and might ask for your phone number, your Facebook identification data or a photo, made in accordance with our instructions. We want to make sure you are not a robot and you don’t pretend you are someone else! And we also want to avoid fake Teamo accounts being created which can be used for malicious activities and cyber crime – they threaten the Teamo network and spoil things for everyone. We use a third party provider for account verification. We may also use your mobile phone operator data for marketing purposes.

We cannot control this, nor do we accept any liability for this. If you have given third party applications or websites access to your personal data, they may retain such information to the extent permitted under their terms of service or privacy policies.

 


What happens if I do nothing?


  As our service is meant for dating, we cannot provide this service not using your personal data.
