Privacy at VibeFinder
A profile exists to do exactly three things:
- 1.)Save your preferences.
- 2.)Save places you love.
- 3.)Help our matcher find spots that fit you.
Here's how we keep that safe.
Our privacy pledge
Privacy isn't a settings page at VibeFinder. It's how the whole thing is built.
We never sell or share your data
Not to advertisers, not to partners, not to anyone. Ever.
Anonymous by design
Your name and contact details are stored separately from everything about your taste. Answers and saved places live under a random pseudonym that can't identify you.
You stay in control
Download everything we hold about you, or delete your account (and every trace of it) anytime, in one tap.
What we store
Your account holds your name, email, and (only if you add them) a phone number and age range. Separately, under a random pseudonym, we store your taste answers and the places you've saved. That's the whole list.
How anonymization works
Your taste data never carries your name, email, or any identifier: only a random code. The one table linking that code to your account is locked away from every client and only crossed, briefly, on our servers to show you your own data. A copy of the preference data alone can't be traced back to you.
How personalization works
When you search while signed in, a short anonymous summary of your taste travels with the query so the matcher can break ties your way. Your query always wins. Turn personalization off in settings and your searches behave exactly like a guest's. Group plans work the same way: only the blended group taste is ever used, never one person's.
Optional: anonymized demographic training
Off by default. If you turn it on, your age range (and nothing that identifies you) makes matching better for everyone and feeds the audience stats venues see. Those stats only ever show groups of 5 people or more, never you on your own. Turn it off and it's removed.
What businesses can see
Businesses get counts, never people. We record that their place appeared in a search, that it was shown as a pick, that someone clicked through to their website or booking page, saved it, or voted for it in a group. Those records carry no name, no email, no account, no IP address, and not even the random code above. A business sees totals about itself and nothing about you, and what you typed is never shown to one.
Your rights
Export everything we hold about you as a file, correct it, or erase your account and all its data instantly, from your profile settings, no email to support needed. This is your GDPR right and our default, not a favor.
