Privacy Policy

Ripple Data Practices

Ripple is an adults-only social and dating service. Depending on the features you use, we process account and login details; email address; Ripple ID; profile details such as nickname, date of birth, binary gender selection, country, region, city, language, occupation, biography and interests; profile photos and photo-wall media; Moments, likes, comments and follows; friend and block relationships; chat messages, voice messages, images, videos, gifts and call records; approximate or precise location when you enable a location feature; support tickets and reports; Coins, subscriptions, gifts, creator earnings and transaction records; device, network, security and diagnostic information; and push-notification tokens.

We use this information to authenticate accounts, complete profiles, recommend and match people, show distance and nearby users, deliver messages and calls, operate Moments and social features, process purchases and virtual items, prevent fraud and abuse, moderate content, answer support requests, comply with law and improve reliability. We do not sell personal information. The current Service does not use personal information for third-party behavioral advertising.

Ripple is operated by the individual developer identified as the seller on Ripple's applicable app-store product page. Privacy requests may be sent to kisschou@gmail.com.

Device Permissions

You may change permissions in your device settings. A feature may not work when its required permission is disabled.

Service Providers

Ripple uses service providers only as needed to operate the Service. These currently include Tencent Cloud Object Storage (COS) and related delivery services for user-uploaded images, video, voice and other media; ZEGOCLOUD for real-time audio and video communications; Apple Push Notification service (APNs) and, where enabled, Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for device notifications; Apple and Google for platform sign-in, in-app purchases and subscriptions; and hosting, database, security and monitoring providers used to run Ripple's server infrastructure.

A provider may process device identifiers, IP address, service tokens, transaction identifiers, call metadata or content strictly as needed for its function. Provider processing is also governed by that provider's terms and privacy notices. International transfers may occur because Ripple is global and these providers operate infrastructure in multiple regions.

Messages and Moderation

Messages and media may be stored and processed for delivery, synchronization, abuse prevention, safety review, user reports and enforcement. Content may be reviewed automatically or by authorized reviewers when platform moderation is enabled, when content is reported, when fraud or safety signals are detected, or when law requires it. Do not assume that Ripple messages are end-to-end encrypted unless the relevant feature expressly states that they are.

Notification previews are enabled by default and may include the sender and message preview. You may disable preview content or notifications in Ripple or your device settings. Ripple keeps device push tokens only while needed to reach the signed-in account and invalidates or replaces them after logout, device change, deletion or provider feedback where technically available.

Retention Schedule

Retention may be extended for an unresolved dispute, report, investigation, legal hold, fraud prevention, child-safety obligation or other mandatory legal requirement. Where exact periods are controlled by law or a provider, Ripple uses the applicable required period.

Account Deletion

You may request account deletion in Ripple or by following the public instructions at https://rippleim.com/legal/account-deletion.html. Ripple normally applies a seven-day cooling-off period, or the period displayed when you submit the request. The account is hidden and restricted during that period. If deletion completes, profile, social and product data is removed or de-identified except records that Ripple must retain for transactions, payouts, fraud prevention, safety, disputes, legal compliance and proof that the request was completed.

Some information may be considered sensitive or specially protected under applicable law.

other legally protected categories.

We do not require users to provide sensitive information merely to create a basic account unless necessary for a specific lawful purpose.

If you voluntarily disclose sensitive information through your profile or communications, it may become visible to other users depending on the feature and your settings.

You should therefore exercise caution before sharing sensitive information.

Where applicable law requires a specific legal basis or explicit consent for sensitive information, we will seek to comply with those requirements.

To maintain platform safety, certain user-generated content may be analyzed by automated systems.

Depending on the feature, these systems may analyze:

text;

images;

metadata;

account behavior;

transaction patterns;

other safety signals.

Automated analysis may be supplemented by human review where appropriate.

Access to moderation information is restricted according to internal security controls.

Depending on the jurisdiction, such mechanisms may include:

restricting the account;

deleting the account;

removing inappropriate content;

taking other measures required by law.

If you believe that a minor is using the Service improperly, please report the account through the in-app reporting system.

After deletion:

your profile may no longer be publicly visible;

access to the account may be disabled;

some records may remain temporarily or longer where legally required.

Deletion of an account does not necessarily delete information already lawfully shared with another user.

We maintain procedures designed to detect, investigate, contain, and respond to security incidents.

Where applicable law requires notification of a personal-data breach to:

regulators;

affected users;

other authorities;

we will make the required notifications within the applicable timeframe.
