Privacy Policy

1. Scope of this policy

This policy applies to information we process when you use BeMyGuy, including our website and apps. By using the Service you acknowledge the practices described here.

We act as the data controller for the personal information described below.

2. Information you give us

Account and profile information: your name, gender, date of birth, photos, bio, height, lifestyle and interest details, and the goals you choose to share.

Contact information: your email address and, optionally, phone and WhatsApp numbers. Phone and WhatsApp numbers are kept private from other members until you have matched.

Communications: messages you exchange with other members and any support requests you send us.

3. Location information

With your permission, we read your device location once during sign‑up to determine your area. We translate it into a place name — typically your city or nearest landmark, Local Government Area, State and Country.

We store this derived location (e.g. city, state, country) to show you people nearby and to show you to relevant members. We do not store your precise GPS coordinates.

You can change your saved location at any time in Settings after registration, and you can deny or revoke location permission in your device or browser settings.

4. Face verification

Our optional selfie check runs entirely within your browser. Your selfie image is processed on your device and is not uploaded to our servers.

We store only the outcome of the check (a verified status and a similarity score) — never the selfie itself.

5. Information we collect automatically

We collect limited technical and usage data such as device type, app interactions, approximate activity times, and security/diagnostic logs to operate, secure and improve the Service.

6. How we use your information

To create and manage your account, to operate the women‑first matching experience, to show relevant people near you, and to enable messaging once you match.

To verify members and protect the community against fraud, abuse and unsafe behaviour.

To send you service messages such as your login code, interest and match notifications, and important updates. You can control notification preferences in Settings.

7. Legal bases for processing

We process your information to perform our contract with you (providing the Service), based on your consent (for example, location and optional notifications), to comply with legal obligations, and for our legitimate interests in keeping the Service safe and functional.

You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent; this will not affect processing carried out before withdrawal.

8. Sharing and disclosure

Other members: your public profile is shown to other members in line with the women‑first model. Your contact numbers remain hidden until you match.

Service providers: we use trusted providers such as Supabase (database and authentication) and an email/SMTP provider to deliver verification and notification emails. They process data on our behalf under appropriate safeguards.

Legal: we may disclose information where required by law, to protect our rights, or to protect the safety of members or the public.

We do not sell your personal information.

9. Storage and security

Your data is stored using Supabase with row‑level security so that members can only access what they are permitted to. We apply technical and organisational measures to protect your information.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Data retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account we delete or anonymise your personal data, except where we must retain certain information to comply with the law or resolve disputes.

11. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, object to or restrict certain processing, and request portability of data you provided.

Much of your information can be viewed and edited directly in the app. To exercise other rights, contact us using the details below.

12. Children

BeMyGuy is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that an under‑18 has registered, we will remove the account.

13. Changes and contact

We may update this policy and will take reasonable steps to notify you of material changes. For privacy questions or to exercise your rights, contact support@bemyguy.com.ng.

By continuing you confirm you have read this Privacy Policy to the end and accept it.
