Match's EU privacy policy now describes geolocation data (latitude/longitude) in its data collection table
Section 3 of Match's EU privacy policy now has a Geolocation Data entry. It says that with your permission Match can collect your device's latitude and longitude, and that declining permission makes features needing precise location unavailable. The old version already listed Geolocation Data as a processed category in Sections 4 and 5 and mentioned location services permissions, so this mostly fills a description gap rather than adding a new practice.
Taken from you
- Section 3 now explicitly says Match can collect your device's latitude and longitude if you give permission (Geolocation Data was already listed as a processed category elsewhere in the policy)
Won back
- The policy now states that if you decline location permission, features relying on precise geolocation will not be available
