We’re Making Privacy Simpler: Explore Our New Safety & Privacy Center
At Grindr, we prioritize creating a space where the LGBTQ+ community can connect with confidence and peace of mind. Today, we're excited to introduce our new, in-App Safety & Privacy Center, available to all users worldwide—a clear, user-friendly hub designed to help you understand and manage exactly how your data is collected, used, and protected.
Why This Matters
Transparent, Easy-to-Access Information
We know that clarity and access is key. Our Safety & Privacy Center puts all privacy and safety-related information in one place, making it easy to find the answers to questions you may have. With just a few taps, you can understand how to control your advertising preferences, access your data, or access a vast trove of sexual health and safety information without having to leave the Grindr App.
Community-Focused Protection
The Grindr community spans a wide range of locales and legal landscapes. Our privacy and safety features and content are developed with our LGBTQ+ users in mind. You can find safety information available in over 20 languages including Arabic, Thai, and Malay.
A Principled Approach for Future Expansion
Our privacy and engineering teams use a principled approach to design your app experience designed to protect your information today and be flexible enough to adapt to tomorrow's challenges. As laws evolve and new technologies emerge, the Safety & Privacy Center will continue to grow and improve right alongside Grindr. There’s still much more to come as we continue to build out this feature for you.
