Privacy notice

Early-access information

The waitlist stores your email address, optional city, signup date, campaign attribution when applicable, and the consent version you accepted. The form also records your self-declaration that you are at least 18. Joining the waitlist alone never creates a member profile.

Founding-beta accounts

A beta account is created only when you open a private invitation, authenticate, and explicitly claim it. Rated F stores the authenticated account identifier and contact email supplied by the sign-in provider, invited email, adult attestation, accepted policy versions, account status, verification states, and relevant creation and update dates. Rated F does not receive your external sign-in password.

Sensitive profile information

If you build a founding profile, we store the display name, verified age in years and your age-visibility choice, city, optional pronouns, gender identity, who you want to meet, relationship intention, biography, and city-visibility choice you provide. New or edited profiles require approved age and identity checks. Existing private drafts remain stored while verification is completed. Profiles start hidden. You can opt into discovery to share your profile with other verified members who also opt in. Your age and city follow your visibility choices. Precise location is not requested by this beta profile form.

Age and identity verification

Rated F uses Didit for hosted government-ID, liveness, and selfie-to-ID checks. An invitation or an “I’m 18+” checkbox is not proof of age. You must pass the required checks before creating or editing a member profile. The provider connection is enabled.

When you choose to continue, Didit receives your ID images, document details including date of birth, selfie, and the device information needed to operate its verification flow. It uses facial analysis for liveness and matching. Rated F sends an opaque verification reference, not your profile biography or preferences. The provider’s report is processed on our server to confirm eligibility; we do not save the report, ID images, selfies, biometric templates, document numbers, or full date of birth in Rated F’s database. You can choose whether your age appears on your member profile. We retain the age in years at verification (not the birth date), outcome, reason category, provider session reference, consent version and time, and check timestamps.

The configured Didit retention period is 1 month. The provider processes verification data under its own notices and Rated F’s configured controls. Read the notices presented in the hosted verification flow and the Didit retention information before submitting. Rated F’s setup requires separate biometric-template retention and model-training use to be off.

You can decline verification and delete your beta account, but cannot use member profiles without completing the checks. If a result is wrong or you cannot complete the process, request help or a review. Do not send identity documents through that contact form. Discovery requires a saved profile and a separate opt-in. Messaging, ratings, and billing are not yet open.

Profile photos and private albums

Photos you upload are stored in private object storage. We strip embedded location metadata and send each photo to OpenAI for automated safety screening, including a clothing check for profile photos. Screening can make mistakes; you can contact us for help. We store approved photos, album type, consent version, and upload time. Photos that fail screening are not saved to our photo storage. OpenAI may process and retain submitted data under its API data policies.

When you opt into discovery, approved clothed profile photos are visible to other opted-in verified members. A private album can be viewed by another verified member only after they request access and you approve. Approval covers the whole private album, including later additions. You can decline or revoke access; revocation blocks future viewing but cannot remove copies or screenshots already made. We store access requests and your decisions. Remove photos individually or delete your account to remove stored photos and album access. If storage deletion fails, photos are hidden immediately and you can retry account deletion.

How information is used

Information is used to operate the waitlist, issue controlled invitations, prevent duplicate or abusive accounts, save private beta profiles, manage eligibility, respond to requests, and prepare the member service. Discovery uses the profile fields you explicitly choose to share. Interest is private until both members express interest. Messaging, ratings, and billing are not yet open.

Who can access it

Information is stored in the site’s hosted database and can be accessed by the site owner and infrastructure providers operating the service. Waitlist and private beta information is not displayed to the public. Opted-in profile information is shared with other opted-in verified members. Approved private-album viewers can see the photos you have chosen to share with them. Future service providers must receive only the information required for their role.

Discovery choices, blocks and reports

We store discovery visibility, interests, mutual connections, blocks, and reports. Hiding your profile pauses discovery and connections while retaining your interests. Withdrawing interest ends a mutual connection. Blocking removes mutual interests and private-album permissions in both directions and prevents future profile and photo access. Reports also block the member; the owner reviews the report text and member references. Minimal block and report records may be retained after account deletion for abuse prevention and review.

Abuse prevention

The public form uses a hidden spam field and short-lived hashed request identifier to limit repeated attempts. Raw IP addresses are not saved in the application database. Infrastructure providers may separately process request logs for security and operations.

Deletion and choices

Use the private waitlist-removal link to delete a waitlist entry. A signed-in founding member can delete their saved beta profile from the profile page; the remaining account record is anonymized to preserve basic abuse and invitation integrity. Account deletion also requests erasure of any Didit verification session and retained biometric template. If the provider is unavailable, the owner sees a pending deletion task and can retry it. Minimal consent and outcome records may remain in the anonymized account for invitation and abuse integrity. Waitlist removal and account deletion are separate actions. You can also contact Rated F about access, correction, or deletion. A request may require identity verification.
