Flingo Inc built the Flingo app as a free service. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our Service. By using Flingo, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.
Age Requirement — 18+ Only
Flingo is strictly an adult dating service for users aged 18 years and older. By registering and using Flingo, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age. We do not knowingly allow users under 18 to create accounts.
If we discover that a user under 18 has registered on Flingo, we will immediately suspend their account and delete all associated data from our servers. If you believe an underage person is using Flingo, please contact us immediately at the address below.
Parents and guardians: if you believe your child (under 18) has created an account on Flingo, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action.

To provide our dating service, we collect the following information when you register and use Flingo:
- Identity information: Name, age, gender, date of birth
- Contact information: Phone number, email address
- Profile information: Photos, bio, preferences
- Location data: Current location (used to show you nearby singles)
- Social login: Facebook profile picture and email (if you sign in via Facebook)
- Usage data: App interactions, matches, messages (metadata only)
- Device information: Device type, OS version, IP address
How We Use Your Information
- To create and maintain your dating profile
- To show you potential matches near your location
- To verify your identity and age (18+ requirement)
- To enable messaging between matched users
- To improve the app's features and safety
- To send service-related notifications (new matches, messages)
- To prevent fraud, abuse, and underage access
Location Data
Flingo uses your location to show you local singles near you — this is the core feature of the app. Your precise location is never displayed publicly to other users; only approximate distance is shown. You can disable location access in your phone settings, but this will limit the app's core functionality.
Third-Party Services
The app uses the following third-party services that may collect information to identify you:
- Google Play Services
- Firebase (Google) — for authentication, database, and crash reporting
- Google Analytics — for anonymous usage analytics
Log Data
When you use our Service, we collect Log Data in case of errors. This may include your device's IP address, device name, operating system version, app configuration, time and date of use, and other statistics. This data is used solely for debugging and improving the app.
Cookies
The Flingo app itself does not use cookies. However, our website (flingodating.in) may use cookies for analytics and functionality. Third-party services we use (such as Google Analytics) may also set cookies. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share data with:
- Service providers who help us operate the app (bound by confidentiality)
- Law enforcement when legally required
- Safety organizations to investigate abuse or underage access reports
Data Security
We use commercially acceptable security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to protecting your data to the best of our ability.
Data Retention & Deletion
You can delete your Flingo account and all associated personal data at any time directly from the Settings screen within the Flingo app. Upon account deletion, your profile, photos, messages, and personal data will be permanently removed from our servers within 30 days.
To request manual data deletion, contact us at the email below.
Links to Other Sites
Our Service may contain links to external websites. These sites are not operated by us and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.
Children's Privacy
Flingo is an 18+ service and is not directed at anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we learn that personal data has been submitted by someone under 18, we will delete it immediately. Contact us if you have concerns about underage access.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are effective immediately when posted. We will notify users of significant changes via the app or email. Please review this page periodically.
