Waitlist (“we”) is a matching app. This policy describes what we collect, why, and how long we keep it.
What we collect
- Account: email, phone, or Sign in with Apple identifier; display name; birthday; gender; who you want to meet; optional compatibility answers (education, outlook, religion, children).
- Photos you grant access to. Full Access lets us read your library. Limited Access lets you pick which photos. We upload those photos over HTTPS to build your persona. Photos you approve as profile pictures can be shown to a match. Other library photos are not shown to other people.
- Derived persona data: scene labels, lifestyle traits, an embedding used for matching, approximate places (a café or park name from an offline map extract, or a city; coordinates are discarded after naming), named-venue visit windows used only to tell two matched or compared people they have been to the same place, and a face embedding used only to tell which face in a photo is yours.
- Messages you send after a mutual match.
- Device push token, if you enable notifications.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your data.
- We do not use your photos or persona to advertise.
- We do not score how attractive you are.
- Analysis of your library is automated. Staff do not browse your camera roll.
Third parties
Photos and derived signals are processed by our infrastructure (Supabase and our extraction worker on Google Cloud) solely to provide Waitlist. They are contractually bound to the same purpose. Place names are resolved from an offline map extract on our servers. We do not send your coordinates to Google.
Retention
Library photos used to build the persona are deleted from our servers once analysis finishes. We keep the derived persona (traits, taste graph, embeddings) and the profile photos you chose to show. Delete Account in Settings removes the rest. You can also turn off photo access in iOS Settings; we will not see new photos after that.
