Privacy Policy

Effective date: 12 October 2026

Imminr is a proximity-based social app. This policy explains what information we collect when you use Imminr, how we use it, and what control you have over it. We collect only what the app needs to work, plus usage analytics if you allow them.

What we collect
Name
The display name shown on your profile and in conversations.
Email address
Used to create your account and for account recovery. Not visible to other users.
User ID
A unique identifier assigned to your account. Used internally to link your profile, messages, and activity.
Sexual orientation
The preference you set under "Interested in" (Male, Female, or Both). Required to set up your profile, because it decides who appears in your orbit and when you have a lot in common with someone. Shown on your profile to other Imminr users. You can change it at any time.
Religion
Optional. Only if you choose one under Background on your profile, which means you choose to show it to other Imminr users. It is used only to display on your profile, never used to compare you with other users, or for filters, analytics or advertising. You can change or remove it at any time: tap your choice again to clear it, then save.
Profile info
Age, bio, interests, relationship goal and the other details you add to your profile. These are shown to other Imminr users, and are also used to show when you have a lot in common with someone and to order the Nearby list.
Location
When you like someone who is near you (in your orbit, or detected in the last 10 minutes), the app reads your device's current approximate location once and converts it into a general area name (for example a neighbourhood and city) using your phone's built-in Apple or Google location service. Only that area name is stored with the like, in a restricted store, and it may be shown to the person you liked as where you crossed paths if they are a Pro subscriber. Likes made at other times store no location. Your exact coordinates are never stored. Location is not read at any other point in the app.
Messages
Messages you send and receive within the app. Stored so both parties can access the conversation. If you delete a chat, it and its history are removed for you; the other person keeps their copy.
Message requests
A chat starts as a request the other person can accept or decline. When you decline someone's request, we count how many times you have declined that person so the app can suggest blocking them. Only you can see this count.
Likes
Who you liked and when, and who liked you. Free users see who liked them only when the like is mutual; Pro subscribers see everyone who liked them.
Crossed paths
When your phone detects another Imminr user nearby, we record that your two accounts crossed paths and when. No location is stored. This powers Orbit History, the evening recap and the "You've crossed paths in the past week" note on profiles, and is kept until you delete your account.
Blocks
Who you have blocked, so blocked users can no longer find, like or message you.
Photos
Profile photos you upload. Stored and displayed to other users.
App interactions
Usage events (e.g. screens opened, filters used, likes sent) sent to Mixpanel EU. Each event is linked to your user ID, along with your age and gender, so we can understand aggregate usage patterns. Your name, email, photos and message content are never included. Nothing is sent unless you choose Allow when we ask, right after you sign up. We store your answer, and when you gave it, with your account. You can change it at any time in Settings, under Privacy, with Share usage analytics; turning it off also deletes your analytics profile.
Push notification token
A device token used to deliver notifications to your phone. Shared with the push services listed under Data sharing below, and deleted when you log out. If you log out without an internet connection, it is deleted the next time the app opens online. A token is also removed from your account when someone else signs in to Imminr on the same phone. Your notification choices (matches, messages, message requests, evening recap) are saved with your account.
Purchases
If you subscribe to Imminr Pro, your subscription status and purchase history are processed by RevenueCat and Apple or Google. We never see or store your payment details.
Verification selfie
If you choose to verify your photo, you email us a selfie at verify@imminr.com. We compare it with your profile photos, mark your profile as verified, and delete the selfie within 30 days. When you tap Email a selfie in the app, we record the time of your request so we can review requests in order.
Reports
If you report another user, we store who reported whom, the reason, and any details you add, so we can review the report and act on it. Reports are kept even if either account is later deleted.
Bluetooth and proximity

Imminr detects nearby users using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), not GPS. Your device broadcasts a random identifier (a UUID created with your account, which stays the same over time) and listens for other Imminr devices within Bluetooth range (roughly 10–100 metres). The identifier does not contain your name or any profile details. A Bluetooth scanner near you can detect that a device is broadcasting it, but only the Imminr app can link it to a profile, and only for Imminr users physically near you, subject to blocks and your visibility setting.

Turning off Visible in Settings stops the broadcast. People you already chat with or who liked you can still see your profile while you're hidden, and so can people you've liked once they can see your like.

Imminr asks for location permission so it can attach an area name to your likes; on Android 11 and older, the operating system also requires it for Bluetooth scanning. Location is only read at the moment you like someone who is near you. See the Location row in the table above.

Data sharing

We do not sell your data. We share limited data with the following services to operate the app. We only use providers that are bound by data protection terms requiring them to protect your data to at least the same standard described in this policy.

Supabase
Our database and infrastructure provider. All app data (profiles, messages, photos) is stored on Supabase servers.
Push notification services
Your device's push token is sent to Expo, Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (Android) and Apple Push Notification service (iPhone) to deliver notifications. Message notifications include the sender's name and a short preview of the message. A new message request only says that someone wants to chat with you, without their name.
Mixpanel (EU region)
Usage events with your user ID, age and gender are sent to Mixpanel's EU servers for analytics. Your name, email, photos and message content are never included.
RevenueCat
Manages Imminr Pro subscriptions. Receives your user ID and subscription purchase information from Apple or Google.
MusicBrainz
When you search for favourite artists, your search text is sent to MusicBrainz to find matching artists. No other information is sent.
Cloudflare and Google (email)
Emails you send to imminr.com addresses, including verification selfies, are routed by Cloudflare and stored in our Google mailbox.
Resend
Sends the app's account emails, such as sign-up confirmations and password resets. Receives your email address and the email's content.
Web3Forms
Delivers messages sent through the contact form on imminr.com. Receives the name, email address and message you enter.
Data retention and deletion

Your data is kept for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, the following is removed from the app immediately:

  • Your profile and all profile photos
  • Your login credentials and push tokens
  • Your likes, crossed paths and conversations, for you and for the people you talked to

Reports you filed, or that others filed about you, are kept after deletion so we can continue to protect users.

Your analytics data at Mixpanel is deleted as well. Mixpanel completes this within 30 days.

To protect users and respond to abuse reports or legal requests, a copy of the messages from your conversations, together with your user ID and display name, is kept in a restricted archive that is not accessible from the app. This archive is permanently deleted 12 months after your account is deleted.

To delete your account: open the app, go to the Settings tab, then tap Delete account. You can also delete it at imminr.com/delete-account.

Security

All data transmitted between the app and our servers is encrypted in transit using TLS. Profile photos are stored at long, unguessable web addresses. Anyone who has a photo's address can view it, so the app never shows these addresses outside Imminr. Photos are deleted when you delete your account.

Your rights

You can access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time through the app's Settings screen. You can also withdraw consent at any time: turn off Share usage analytics in Settings, turn off location, notification or Bluetooth access in your device settings, or delete your account, which removes your data as described above. To request a copy of the data we hold about you, or for any privacy-related question, contact us at the address below.

Children

Imminr is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
