Privacy Policy

Last updated October 22, 2026

DateVillage (the "Service") is a mobile app and website for adults 50 and over to find dating, friendship and activity partners. It is operated by Vacaytrip LLC, doing business as DateVillage ("we", "us"), a Florida company. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.

Who can use DateVillage

You must be at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have, we delete it.

What we collect

• Account: your email address and a password (stored only as a one-way hash).
• Profile: first name, birth date (we show your age, never your birth date), gender, who you would like to meet, what you are looking for, an optional short bio, optional answers to a few get-to-know-you questions, optional education and work details, your ZIP code and area, and the activities you choose. Other members see your first name, age, bio, question answers, education and work details, area, activities, photos and verification badges. They never see your email, ZIP code or birth date.
• Profile photos (optional): photos you upload. Before they are stored, location and camera details are removed from them. Each photo is checked, automatically and sometimes by a person, to confirm it clearly shows you and is suitable. The automated check is done by a service provider (Google) that receives the photo only for that check. Other members can see a photo only after it passes. You can remove your photos at any time.
• Daily message: your birth month and day are used to greet you on your birthday and to choose your daily message. If you choose the optional daily inspiration, we also use them to find your sun sign. This is for inspiration only.
• Phone verification: your mobile number is used once to text you a code. After you pass, we keep only a one-way hash of the number so one number cannot be used for many accounts.
• ID verified badge (optional): if you buy it, a photo of your government ID and a selfie are collected and checked by our verification partner, Stripe. We receive only the pass or fail result and a reference number. We do not receive or keep your ID or selfie images.
• Messages and activity: messages you send, introductions you accept or pass, groups and events you join, and reports or blocks you make. Messages are scanned automatically for scam patterns such as requests for money, so we can warn the other member.
• Purchases: the fact that you bought the ID badge. Payments are handled by Apple, Google or Stripe. We do not see your card number. RevenueCat helps us confirm app-store purchases.
• Technical data: IP address, device type and app version, used for security, fraud prevention and limiting abuse.
• Website visits: when you open a page on datevillage.com we record the page, the time, the country, state or region and city your connection appears to come from (and the county for U.S. cities), the website or search engine that sent you, and whether the visit looks like a person or a search-engine or other automated crawler. We do not store your IP address or a readable copy of your browser details. To count unique visitors we keep a one-way scrambled code that changes every day and cannot be turned back into your IP address. We use this only to understand how people find DateVillage and to improve it, and we delete these records after 180 days.
• Waitlist: if you joined our waitlist: name, email, area, ZIP code, interests, optional age range, and the ad or link that brought you. If you asked to be told when the app is ready: your first name, email, and whether you use an iPhone or an Android phone.

How we use it

• To run the Service: create your profile, show you compatible members in your own area, and let you chat and join activities.
• To keep members safe: verify accounts, detect scams and fake profiles, review reports, and act on rule violations.
• To process purchases and provide support.
• To email you about your account, and about launch if you joined the waitlist. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• To comply with the law.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers. We share it only with:

• Service providers who process data for us: hosting, Twilio (text-message codes), Stripe (ID check and web payments), RevenueCat, Apple and Google (app-store purchases and photo checks), and email delivery.
• Other members, limited to the profile details described above and the messages you send them.
• Authorities, when the law requires it or to protect someone's safety.

Your choices and rights

• Delete your account: in the app, open Me, then Delete my account. This permanently removes your profile, matches and messages. You can also request deletion at datevillage.com/delete-account.
• Access or correct your information: edit your profile in the app, or email us.
• Unsubscribe from email using the link in any message.
• Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights, such as asking for a copy of your data. Email us and we will respond within 30 days.

How long we keep it

We keep your account information while your account is active. When you delete your account we remove your profile, messages and matches. We may keep a limited record of safety reports, fraud signals and purchase receipts for as long as needed to protect members and meet legal obligations. Waitlist information is kept until the app opens in your area and you have had a chance to join, or until you ask us to delete it.

Security

We use encryption in transit, hashed passwords and phone numbers, access limits and rate limits. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password.

Location

We use the ZIP code you enter to place you in your community. We do not track your precise location or show it to other members.

Changes

If we make material changes we will tell you in the app or by email before they take effect.
