Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 10, 2026
Hantibink ("we," "us," or "our") is a dating app built for the Armenian community. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to the Hantibink mobile app and to hantibink.com.
Information we collect
Information you give us
- Account details — name, email address, date of birth, gender, and who you're interested in meeting. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email from Google.
- Profile content — photos, bio, interests, education, work, languages you speak, and other details you choose to add. Your profile is shown to other users as part of the service.
- Messages — text messages, voice messages, reactions, and in-chat game activity, stored so we can deliver them between you and your matches.
- Support and waitlist — anything you send us by email, in-app reports you file, and the email address you give us when joining the waitlist.
Information collected when you use the app
- Location — with your permission, your device location is used to show you people nearby and to display your city on your profile. You can decline or revoke location access in your device settings; some matching features won't work without it.
- Activity and interactions — likes, matches, blocks, reports, and feature usage, used to run matching, enforce quotas, and keep the community safe.
- Device information — device type, operating system, app version, push notification token, and crash and diagnostic data.
- Purchase status — whether you have an active Premium subscription. Payments are processed entirely by Apple or Google; we never see or store your payment card details.
How we use your information
- To operate Hantibink: create your profile, show you potential matches, and deliver your conversations.
- To keep the community safe: moderation, handling reports, blocking, and preventing abuse, spam, and fake accounts.
- To manage subscriptions and feature access, including Premium entitlements.
- To send you service notifications (like new matches and messages) if you enable push notifications, and important account emails such as verification and password reset.
- To fix problems and improve the app, using crash reports and aggregated usage data.
We do not sell your personal information, and we don't show third-party ads.
How your information is shared
- With other users — your profile content and, once matched, your messages. Premium members can see presence details like read receipts and typing indicators in their conversations.
- With service providers that help us run Hantibink, only to the extent needed: cloud hosting and infrastructure (Google Cloud), database hosting (Supabase), subscription management (RevenueCat), crash reporting (Sentry), transactional email (Resend), and push notification delivery (Expo, Apple, Google).
- For legal reasons — if required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the public.
- In a business transfer — if Hantibink is involved in a merger or acquisition, your information may transfer with appropriate protections.
Data retention and deletion
We keep your information while your account is active. You can delete your account in the app's settings, or by emailing us — this removes your profile and personal information from the service, subject to limited records we may retain where required for safety (such as ban enforcement) or by law.
Your rights
You can access and update your profile information in the app at any time. Depending on where you live (including California under the CCPA and the EEA/UK under the GDPR), you may also have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@hantibink.com — we'll respond within the timeframe required by law.
Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit, hashed passwords, and access controls. No online service can guarantee perfect security, so please use a strong, unique password.
Age requirement
Hantibink is for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18; if we learn that we have, we will delete the account and its data.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app evolves. If we make material changes, we'll notify you in the app or by email. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
