Tinder's EU terms add an AI training license, 'no unlearning' clause, mandatory features and message analysis
The new terms add a license letting Tinder use Your Content to train and improve its services, including through AI, and say its systems cannot 'unlearn'. They also let Tinder analyze messages with machine learning, introduce mandatory features you may lose your account over, and treat disputes as arising in Dallas County, Texas. Texas law and the Federal Arbitration Act were already in the old terms. The sexual-assault arbitration carve-out was reworded to refer to a US federal act, and Tinder added a description of content moderation, an appeal route and a ban for repeated unfounded reports.
Taken from you
- Grant Tinder a license to use Your Content to train, develop and improve services, including via AI Technology
- Accept that Tinder's services may 'learn' from your content and cannot later 'unlearn'
- Allow Tinder to analyze and use your messages and communications with machine learning to develop and personalize services
- Accept mandatory features, with possible loss of account if you decline them
- Agree that all disputes are deemed to have arisen in Dallas County, Texas and in no other state or county
- Waive all rights in suggestions or feedback you submit
- Accept that Tinder may now delete your account, not just remove access, in its sole discretion if you stop meeting eligibility requirements
- Repeated manifestly unfounded reports will now explicitly result in a ban, and Tinder will consider evidence of bias or malicious intent
- Tinder's existing right to change subscription features is now stated as 'in any manner and at any time' at its sole discretion, subject to applicable law
Won back
- Right to appeal if you believe Your Content was removed in error
- Added description of content moderation and enforcement consequences
- Affirmative acceptance of terms changes also required where otherwise required by law
