What we collect

Tuned collects the minimum data necessary to provide the service:

  • Computed compatibility results

All Room data is automatically deleted 30 days after creation. There is no way to recover data after deletion. See our data retention policy for more details.

  • Phone numbers
  • Location data
  • Birth year or full date of birth

  • We process your data based on legitimate interest (providing the service) and, where required, your consent (for advertising cookies and personalized ads).

Third-party services

Tuned uses the following third-party services:

These services may collect additional data according to their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing their policies for details.

Data retention

Pair check data is never stored — it exists only in the URL during your session. Room data is retained for 30 days and then permanently deleted. No backups are kept after deletion. For full details, see our data retention policy.

Your rights

You can request deletion of any Room data by contacting us. Since pair check data is not stored on our servers, there is nothing to delete for pair-only usage.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Continued use of Tuned after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
