Legal / NAWTY Dating privacy notice
Dating privacy,
in full.
Exactly what the app collects and who can see it.
Who we are
NAWTY Dating is run by SV Ventures Ltd (company no. 17008870, Flat 35 Kirk House, 97 High Street, Yiewsley, West Drayton, UB7 7GJ, United Kingdom), the controller of your personal data. Contact: sveventuresltd@gmail.com. NAWTY Dating is separate from NAWTY creator discovery: nothing moves between them unless you choose.
What we collect and why
| What | Why | Legal basis (UK GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Email address and password (the password is held by our sign-in provider and is never readable by us) | Create and secure your account, send sign-in and recovery codes | Contract |
| Date of birth | Confirm you are 18 or over and show your age | Contract; legal obligation |
| Profile: name, pronouns, the city and country you type in, bio, intentions, relationship style | Show your profile to compatible members | Contract |
| Gender and who you want to meet | Matching | Explicit consent (special category data), asked for separately when you join |
| Photos, including private photos you share with one match | Shown to eligible members after staff review; private photos only to the match you chose, until you revoke them | Contract; consent for each photo you add |
| Likes, passes, matches, blocks, incognito setting | Run discovery and keep blocks in force | Contract; legitimate interests (safety) |
| Messages with your matches | Deliver the conversation | Contract |
| Reports and appeals you make or receive, and the evidence captured with them | Keep people safe and handle disputes fairly | Legitimate interests; legal obligation |
| Plan and daily like count | Apply early-access features and free allowances | Contract |

| Technical logs (IP address, request times) | Security, fraud and abuse prevention | Legitimate interests |
We do not collect your precise location, contacts or advertising identifiers. We do not sell your data, use it for advertising or share it with data brokers. There are no third-party analytics or advertising tools in the app.
Who can see what
- Other members see only your approved public profile and photos, and only if you are compatible and neither of you has blocked the other. Messages are visible only to the two people in the conversation.
- Our staff see what they need to review photos, reports and appeals. Staff access requires two-factor authentication and is logged.
- Service providers who process data for us under contract: Supabase (database and sign-in, hosted in London), Vercel (application hosting, London region), our email-delivery provider, and Apple and Google (push notifications, and app-store purchases if you buy a plan in future). Where a provider processes data outside the UK, we rely on the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or an adequacy decision.
- Authorities where the law requires it, or to protect someone from serious harm.
How long we keep it
- Profile, photos, preferences, likes and sent messages: until you delete your dating data or your account. Deletion is immediate.
- Reports, captured evidence and moderation decisions: 12 months after the case closes, or longer if a case is open or we are legally required, so safety decisions can be reviewed and repeat abuse prevented.
- Account record: sign-in is blocked immediately when you ask us to delete your account; the remaining record is removed within 30 days once any safety hold ends.
- Encrypted backups: roll over within 30 days.
- Technical logs: 30 days.
Your rights
You can download your data and delete your dating data or your whole account from inside the app (Account → Privacy and data). You can also ask us to correct, restrict or explain how we use your data, object to processing, or withdraw consent at any time; withdrawing consent for matching data means we can no longer match you. Email sveventuresltd@gmail.com. You can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Age
NAWTY Dating is only for people aged 18 or over. If we learn that someone under 18 has an account, we close it.
Changes
We will tell you in the app before any material change takes effect. The current version and effective date are shown at the top of this page.
