Grindr is the most private and discreet way to meet local guys. It uses the GPS technology in your iPhone or BlackBerry and the Wi-Fi in the iPod touch or iPad to determine your exact location and instantly connect you with guys in your area. But it doesn't leave a trail like other dating sites and social networks.
You do not have to provide any information about yourself. You can remain 100% anonymous. No photo or any details about yourself are required to start using Grindr. You'll probably get more responses from local men by including a photo and your stats, but the information you share is totally your choice.
Grindr does not ask for your email address, require an account registration, or use a complicated validation process. You can start chatting with guys near you in seconds.
Grindr allows users 18 years and older only.
By accessing the Grindr service you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to the following privacy policy. In order for Grindr to work with your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, BlackBerry, or other mobile device, we must collect your Device Identification Code or "DIC". The DIC is a special type of identifier used in software applications in order to provide a unique reference number for applications like those used by your mobile device. Your DIC is not shared with other users.
You understand that when you use Grindr, certain information you post or provide on Grindr may be shared with other users, including without limitation your profile, comments, photographs and locations. In addition, you understand that use of Grindr may include the disclosure and display of your location/distance data to other users. Grindr users can use the search feature to search for other members by different criteria, like age. The information that you enter into your profile will be used for these searches. Please note that if you choose to show your location, the information that is provided to Grindr about your distance will be used within your profile and can be viewed and searched by other Grindr users. Even if you choose to hide your distance information, sophisticated users of Grindr may be able to determine your location.
We do not share any of your personal information with any third parties other than our advertising display partners such as Admob, Inc and analytics partners such as Flurry. With these third parties we may share the following pieces of information: 1) your DIC, 2) your location, 3) your gender, 4) your age. Further, information gathered when an ad request is made is not shared by those third party partners with specific advertisers. Some of our ad partners may target ads based on user behavior. Apple Inc.'s iAd network allows users to opt out of behavioral targeting by visiting http://oo.apple.com from your iOS4 device.
We will not otherwise disclose any personal information without your consent, except: in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process; to establish or exercise our rights to defend against legal claims; if we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, safety of person or property, violation of our policies, or as otherwise required by law.
