It became known that the dating service Tinder, which is used by over 50 million people, was included in the register of information dissemination organizers. This means that the service is obliged to provide the FSB with all user data, as well as their correspondence.
The initiator of entering Tinder into the register of information dissemination organizers is the FSB of the Russian Federation. In turn, Roskomnadzor sends relevant requests to online services for the provision of data. Further cooperation with the service is regulated by the relevant law and involves the collection and provision at the first request of law enforcement agencies not only of user data, but also of correspondence, audio recordings, videos and other materials.
It is worth noting that the privacy section of the company that owns Tinder confirms the collection of personal information, including user passwords, photos, videos, and bank card numbers, in case of subscription to paid services. The processing of user messages and published content is also confirmed. According to the developers, this is necessary to ensure the functioning of the services. Tinder also says that the processing of user data is necessary to ensure security and provide users with advertising content that matches the interests of a particular person.
The subsection on disclosure of information to third parties refers not only to service providers and partner companies, but also to legal requirements. According to published data, Tinder may disclose confidential information if required to comply with a court order. In addition, data may be disclosed to detect or prevent crime, as well as to protect the safety of the user.
