4. App — What We Collect and Why

4.1 Account Registration

To use the App, each partner must create an individual personal account. Two personal accounts are then linked together using a unique couple ID to form one joint couple profile. We collect:

First name Email address Date of birth (to verify you are 18 or over) Password (stored in encrypted form — we never see your plain-text password)

Lawful basis: Contract (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(b))

4.2 Couple Profile

Once linked, you and your partner build a shared couple profile. We collect:

Profile photos uploaded by you Shared interests and activity preferences selected by you Any bio or profile text you choose to add

Lawful basis: Contract (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(b))

4.3 Location Data

To power the distance filter and show you relevant couples nearby, the App collects your location when the App is open and in use (foreground only), provided you grant location permission on your device. We do not track your location in the background when the App is closed.

Your approximate location is used to calculate distances between couples and surface relevant matches. We do not store a continuous log of your movements.

Lawful basis: Consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a)) — you can withdraw location permission at any time via your device settings. Withdrawing permission will limit the App's matching functionality.

4.4 In-App Communications

All messaging within the App takes place in a 4-way group chat that includes both partners from both matched couples. There are no private one-to-one messages. Chat content may be reviewed by Cupler if reported for misconduct, nudity, or inappropriate content.

Lawful basis: Contract and legitimate interests (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(b) and 6(1)(f))

4.8 Future Services

As the App grows, we may introduce additional features such as in-app payments, premium subscriptions, or third-party integrations. Where these involve new data collection, we will update this policy and, where required, seek your consent before processing begins.

5. How We Share Your Data

Sponsors and partners (future) — we may in the future share non-personally identifiable, aggregated data with trusted commercial partners for sponsorship or marketing purposes. We will never share your private contact information with third parties for their own marketing without your explicit consent. We will update this policy before any such sharing begins.
