Meetic privacy policy adds inferred profile data, Meta tools, and broader Match Group ML and recommendation sharing
The updated EU policy adds a new data category of 'observations and inferences' drawn from your behaviour and content, and lists it across most purposes and sharing recipients. It discloses use of Facebook tools with Meta Ireland as joint controller, and says Match Group companies help each other with machine learning and recommendation systems. It also adds a profile-sharing feature, legal-basis changes (legitimate interest for personalised pricing), and rewrites international transfer wording.
Taken from you
- More inferred data (preferences, traits, attitudes, predispositions) is generated about you and used for ads, pricing and sharing
- Data may be shared with Meta Ireland as joint controller via Facebook Login, Pixel and SDK tools
- Personalised pricing and discounts now rest on legitimate interest rather than only contract
- Your data may feed recommendation systems and machine learning developed across Match Group brands
- Phone number now listed as account data; social data can include Facebook/Instagram photos
Won back
- Explicit disclosure of what 'observations and inferences' are and where they are used
- Disclosure of Meta joint controllership and a link to Meta Ireland's policy
- Refund data and VIP application processing are now described
