LoveWave Privacy Policy
This policy explains how LoveWave, developed by Koderpark and published by Erdem Cantürk, handles information when you use its social, profile and messaging features. For privacy questions or requests, contact erdemcanturk87@gmail.com.
1. Information handled by the app
- Account information: your account identifier, email address and authentication information needed to create and access an account. If you choose Google sign-in, information supplied through that sign-in is used to authenticate you.
- Profile information: the name, age, gender, country, city, biography, interests and profile photographs you provide, together with profile and verification status. Country and city can be information you enter; this does not mean the app requires GPS access.
- Communications and content: messages, photographs or other media you choose to send or upload, support requests, reports, and the information needed to deliver and manage those communications.
- Activity and service records: online and last-seen status, message delivery/read status, blocks, reports, notification tokens, account status, and purchase or entitlement records needed for paid features.
- Technical information: device and app information, usage events, diagnostic or error information, network information and identifiers processed by the app or its service providers. Google advertising services can process an advertising identifier and approximate location derived from an IP address.
Only send information and media you intend to share. Information you include in a profile or message may reveal personal or sensitive details about you.
2. Why information is used
Information is used to authenticate accounts; create and display profiles; help users discover and communicate with one another; deliver messages and notifications; provide purchased features; answer support requests; investigate reports and abuse; protect the service; and diagnose and improve reliability. Advertising providers also use information to serve and measure ads and prevent invalid activity.
3. Who receives information
Profile information is shown to other users through the app's profile and discovery features. Messages and media are made available to their intended recipients or audience. Reporting and support features allow the developer or authorized moderators to review the information required to handle a report or support request.
LoveWave uses Google Firebase services for functions such as authentication, cloud storage, databases, notifications, analytics and backend processing. The Google Play version uses Google AdMob for advertising and Google Play Billing for in-app purchases. These providers process information necessary to deliver their services; Google processes payment details for Play purchases, while the app receives purchase and entitlement information.
Relevant provider information: Google Privacy Policy, Firebase privacy information, and Google Mobile Ads data disclosure.
Information may also be disclosed where necessary to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, investigate misuse, or protect users and the service.
4. Permissions and choices
Camera or photo access supports the content and profile features you choose to use. Notification permission supports app notifications. You can manage permissions in Android settings, edit your profile in the app, and use the app's blocking and reporting features. Advertising choices depend on your device settings, region and the consent options presented by the advertising service. Denying a permission may limit the related feature.
5. Retention and deletion
Account and service information is retained while needed to provide the service and operate the features described above. You can request account deletion through Profile → Delete My Account in LoveWave. The account deletion flow authenticates the request and starts removal of the account and associated data. See the existing LoveWave account deletion instructions.
If you cannot access the app or need help with a privacy or deletion request, email erdemcanturk87@gmail.com. We may need to verify account ownership before acting. Information necessary for legal obligations, purchase records, security or abuse investigations may need to be retained for those purposes. Deletion does not remove copies another user has independently saved or records a third-party provider retains under its own policy.
6. Security and international processing
The service uses authentication, access controls and its cloud providers' security mechanisms to protect information. No service can guarantee absolute security. Cloud and advertising providers may process information in countries other than your country of residence. Their privacy information describes their processing and safeguards.
7. Adults only and child safety
LoveWave is intended for adults aged 18 and over. Child sexual abuse or exploitation is prohibited. Use the in-app reporting features to report suspected underage accounts or harmful content. The existing LoveWave child safety standards explain these rules and reporting procedures.
8. Your requests and policy updates
You can request access, correction or deletion of your information, or raise a privacy concern, using the contact address above. Available rights depend on your location and applicable law. This page may be updated when the app or its practices change; the date above identifies the latest revision.
