LoveScout24 / Privacy Policy EU

LoveScout24 EU privacy policy names Meetic as controller and adds inferences, Facebook tools and Match Group sharing

AI training: new or wider✓ Machine-checked

The EU privacy policy now names Meetic S.A.S. (Paris) instead of FriendScout24 GmbH (Munich) in its controller and contact details. It adds an 'insights and inferences' data category, lists Facebook tools (Login, Pixel, SDK) with Meta Ireland as joint controller, and names geolocation data in its processing and sharing tables. Match Group affiliates may now share data for machine-learning work and shared recommendation systems. Retention periods change, including two years for content tied to banned accounts, and the transfer section is reworded.

Taken from you

  • Company inferences about your preferences, traits and behaviour are now collected and used for purchases, ads and sharing
  • Facebook Login, Pixel and SDK tools may be used, with Meta Ireland as joint controller
  • Geolocation data is now named as a separate category in the lists of data processed and shared
  • Match Group affiliates may share your data to build machine learning and shared recommendation systems
  • The sentence allowing non-identifying data to be kept for developing new technologies now explicitly names machine learning
  • Content tied to banned accounts is now kept for two years, approximate download/purchase location for five years, and refund requests now count as purchase data

Won back

  • Explicit right to judicial remedy mentioned alongside the right to complain to a regulator
  • Notice that users who interacted with a banned account may be notified, with a stated legal basis
