2. About CineMatch

CineMatch is a dating app that helps users match with new people based on criteria such as movie and TV show preferences, profile settings, gender/matching preferences, and distance.

Within the app, users can create profiles, upload photos, specify favorite movies and TV shows, view other users, send likes, match, message, block users, report users, and delete their accounts.

3.3. Dating and Matching Preferences

Because CineMatch is a dating app, information such as gender, matching preferences, romantic preferences, and who users want to match with may be processed.

This information is used to show you relevant profiles, run discovery filters, provide match suggestions, and deliver the core dating experience of the app.

In some cases, this information may be considered special category or sensitive personal data. Such data is processed only to provide the app's dating/matching features, apply user preferences, ensure security, and fulfill legal obligations. This information is not sold for advertising purposes or transferred to third parties for marketing purposes.

3.4. Location and Distance Data

CineMatch may use location, city/region, or approximate distance information to show profiles near you or within your preferred distance range.

When you grant location permission, approximate or precise location information may be obtained from your device. Your precise location is not shown to other users. Other users may only see limited information such as approximate distance, city/region, or similar.

You can disable location permission at any time from your device settings. If you disable location permission, some distance-based features may work in a limited way.

3.5. In-App Interaction Data

Likes

This data is processed to provide the matching experience, prevent abuse, ensure user safety, improve the app, and analyze technical issues.

3.6. Messaging Data

Matched users can message each other within the app.

In active matches, message content is processed to provide the messaging feature and is displayed in the user interface. In cases such as unmatch, conversation deletion, or account deletion, messages may be hidden from the user interface.

As part of our initial release approach, CineMatch does not intend to store message content in long-term general logs or analytics records. However, technical metadata and transaction records related to message sending may be stored for a limited period for security, abuse prevention, legal obligations, and responding to official authority requests.

Message content is not sent to analytics services such as Mixpanel.

12. International Data Transfers

The servers of Firebase, Mixpanel, RevenueCat, Apple, Google, TMDB, and our other service providers may be located outside Türkiye. Therefore, your personal data may be processed in or transferred to countries outside Türkiye.

These transfers are carried out within the framework of appropriate security measures, contractual commitments, and other necessary legal mechanisms under applicable KVKK, GDPR, and related legislation.

13. Data Retention Periods

Your personal data is stored for as long as necessary for the purpose of processing.

Our general retention approach is as follows:

Gender and matching preferences: While the account is active and for as long as necessary to provide matching features.
Location/distance data: For as long as necessary for distance-based features.
Like, pass, and match records: While the account is active or for as long as necessary to provide the service.
Active message content: For as long as necessary to provide the messaging feature.

Report, block, and moderation records: For a reasonable period for security, abuse prevention, and dispute resolution.
Traffic/audit/security logs: May be stored for at least 1 year, taking into account obligations under Law No. 5651 and related legislation, security, and official authority requests.

14. Account Deletion

You can delete your account in the app by following these steps:

Profile → Settings → Delete Account

You may also request deletion of your account and related personal data by writing to info@kampbu.com or through our web account deletion page.

After account deletion:

Your profile becomes invisible in the app.
Your profile photos cannot be viewed by other users.
You are no longer shown on the discovery screen.
You may be removed from active match and messaging interfaces.
Non-essential profile data may be deleted, masked, or anonymized.

However, account deletion does not mean that certain technical logs, transaction records, report records, and traffic/audit records required for security, abuse prevention, review of reports, enforcement of community rules, fulfillment of legal obligations, responding to official authority requests, or dispute resolution will be deleted immediately.

These records may be stored for a limited period with restricted access.

Deleting your account may not automatically cancel a subscription started through the Apple App Store or Google Play. You may need to manage or cancel your active subscription through your App Store or Google Play subscription settings.

15. Message Deletion, Unmatch, and Hiding

If you remove a match, delete a conversation, or delete your account, the relevant content may become invisible in the app interface.

However, technical metadata related to message sending, transaction records, traffic/audit logs, or records linked to a report may be stored for a limited period for security, abuse prevention, legal obligations, and responding to official authority requests.

As a general rule, CineMatch does not store message content in analytics events, traffic logs, or long-term general-purpose logs.
