InviteTrip Inc. · Version 1.1 · Effective September 18, 2026
In short
- We collect what we need to run a travel and dating platform: your account details, your profile, your trips, your messages, and technical data about your device.
- When you open another member's full profile, we record the visit, and that member is shown that you visited, when, and how many times in total. The same is shown to you about the members who open yours.
- Some of what you tell us is sensitive, including anything that reveals your sexual orientation. We only process that with your explicit consent, and you can withdraw it.
- If you verify your identity, a specialist provider checks your ID document and a live image. We never receive or store the document image or the biometric data itself. We store the result and a reference number.
- Automated systems check profile text, photos, and messages for safety problems, and messages sent for translation. A person makes every decision that meaningfully affects your account.
- We do not sell your personal information, and we never have.
- Our databases sit in Ireland. We are a US company, so some of our staff and service providers access data from the United States.
- You can access, correct, download, or delete your data from your account settings or by writing to us.
There is a separate Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy covering health-related information, which residents of Washington, Nevada, and Connecticut in particular should read.
1. Who we are
InviteTrip Inc., a Delaware corporation, is the controller of the personal data described in this policy. Our contact details, including our postal address, are in the Legal Notice.
Privacy enquiries: privacy@invitetrip.com
This policy explains what we collect, why, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and what rights you have. It applies to the InviteTrip website, applications, and services.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Information you give us
Account information. Email address, password (stored only as a salted hash, never in readable form), your chosen role (Inviter or Invitee), the language you use, and the date and time you accepted these terms.
Profile information. Name, date of birth, gender, nationality, country and city of residence, profession, languages, interests, a written biography, profile photographs, and optional fields such as travel style and preferences.
Matching preferences. Which genders you wish to be shown, and what kind of connection you are looking for. See section 3.3, because some of this is sensitive.
Travel information. Destinations, dates, and details of trips you plan or would like to join, and invitations you send or receive.
Communications. Messages you exchange with other members, including voice messages, and messages you send to our support channels.
Reports and safety information. Reports you submit about other members, and information you provide when responding to a report about you.
Payment information. When paid subscriptions are available, payments are processed by a payment provider. We receive confirmation of payment, the plan purchased, and limited billing details. We do not receive or store your full card number.
2.2 Information created when you use the Service
Which profiles you view, express interest in, or skip; matches; whether and how quickly you reply; roses sent and received; features used; and similar activity used to operate matching and to keep the platform safe.
Profile visits. When you open another member's full profile, we record that the visit happened, who visited, whose profile it was, and when. We also keep a running count of how many times you have visited that member. We do not record a visit to your own profile, a visit involving a member you have blocked or who has blocked you, or a visit by a member of our staff.
2.3 Information collected automatically
Device and browser type, operating system, IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, log data, error reports, and general usage patterns.
We do not collect precise GPS location, and the Service does not include continuous location tracking.
2.4 Identity verification information
If you verify your identity, our verification provider collects a government-issued identity document and a live photograph or video, and performs the check.
We do not receive, and never store, the document image or the biometric template. What we receive and store is the outcome (approved, declined, or under review), a reference identifier, and the country that issued the document. The provider handles the underlying data under its own retention rules.
2.5 Information from others
Reports about you from other members, information from our service providers relating to fraud and abuse, and information from a person who refers you, limited to the fact of the referral.
3. Why we use your information, and our legal basis
Where the General Data Protection Regulation or an equivalent law applies, we rely on the following bases.
3.1 To provide the Service (performance of a contract)
Creating and maintaining your account; displaying your profile; operating discovery and matching; enabling messaging, voice messages, and video and voice calls; managing trips and invitations; recording profile visits and showing each member who has visited their profile; and providing support.
Profile visits work in both directions. When you open another member's full profile, that member is shown your visit. When another member opens yours, you are shown theirs. We rely on performance of the contract, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, because seeing who has looked at your profile is a core part of the service a member signs up for. Section 9 sets out which plans can stop their own visits being shown.
3.2 To keep the platform safe and lawful (legitimate interests, and legal obligation)
Reviewing reports; investigating incidents; running the automated checks described in section 4; detecting fraud, scams, and coordinated abuse; preventing removed members from returning; enforcing our Terms and Community Guidelines; responding to lawful requests; and establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims.
Our legitimate interest is operating a platform on which people can meet strangers and travel to meet them without being defrauded, harassed, or harmed. We consider this interest substantial, and we have weighed it against the privacy impact on members, which is why safety review is limited to what is necessary and why decisions of consequence are made by a person.
3.3 Sensitive information (explicit consent)
Some information reveals, or can be used to infer, your sexual orientation. In particular, your matching preferences, taken together with your own gender, can do so.
Where the GDPR applies, we process this on the basis of your explicit consent under Article 9(2)(a), given when you provide it. You can withdraw consent at any time by removing the information or closing your account. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already carried out, and some matching features cannot work without this information.
Where US state privacy law applies, we treat this as sensitive data and process it only as necessary to provide the Service you have asked for, and never for advertising.
We do not ask for information about your health, your religion, your political opinions, your racial or ethnic origin, or your trade union membership. If you volunteer such information in your profile or messages, it is processed as part of the content you chose to publish or send.
3.4 To communicate with you (contract, legitimate interests, and consent)
Account, security, and transactional messages, which you cannot opt out of while you hold an account; notifications you have turned on; and, where you have consented, updates about the Service. Every marketing message includes an unsubscribe link.
3.5 To improve the Service (legitimate interests)
Understanding which features are used, diagnosing faults, and measuring performance, using aggregated and, where practical, anonymized data.
3.6 To comply with law (legal obligation)
Meeting tax, accounting, consumer protection, and platform regulation obligations, including reporting and record-keeping duties that apply to online dating services in certain jurisdictions.
4. Automated processing and artificial intelligence
We are direct about this because it involves your messages.
Profile screening. Profile text and photographs are checked automatically for content that breaches our rules. Photographs are also placed in a queue for human review.
Message safety. Messages are checked against a list of terms that are never acceptable. A message that falls into a genuinely ambiguous range is additionally assessed by an AI model, which judges whether it appears harmful in context. Depending on the result, the sender may be shown a prompt asking whether they are sure they want to send it, and the recipient may be shown a prompt asking whether it bothered them. Repeated confirmed reports create a task for human review.
Voice messages. Voice messages are transcribed automatically. The transcription exists so that the safety checks above can apply to speech as well as to text. It is not published to the recipient as a transcript.
Translation. Where you use the translation feature, the message is sent to an AI provider for translation and the result is cached so the same message is not sent twice.
Support. Our support assistant answers common questions automatically and passes anything it cannot resolve to a person.
Human decisions. No suspension, termination, verification refusal, or other decision producing legal effects or similarly significant effects for you is made solely by automated means. Automated systems flag, sort, and prompt. A person decides. You can ask for human review of any decision and appeal it as described in the Terms.
5. Who we share information with
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Other members. Your profile is visible to members who can see you under your settings and our matching rules. Your messages are visible to the person you send them to. When you open another member's full profile, that member is shown your profile, the time of your visit, and the number of times you have visited, and you are shown the same about the members who open yours. Your membership tier and your rose allowance are visible only to you.
Service providers. We use providers who process data on our instructions, under contract, for: cloud hosting and databases; application hosting; identity verification; video and voice calling; email delivery; text message delivery; payment processing; artificial intelligence services for the safety, translation, and support functions in section 4; error monitoring and bug reporting; and privacy-respecting product analytics. A current list of these providers is available on request from privacy@invitetrip.com.
Authorities and legal claims. We disclose information where we are legally required to, where it is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to prevent serious harm to a person. Where we become aware of a suspected criminal offense involving a threat to someone's life or safety, we inform law enforcement.
Business transfers. If InviteTrip is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, personal data may be transferred. We will tell you before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
6. Where your information is held and international transfers
Our primary databases and application infrastructure are located in Ireland, in the European Union.
InviteTrip Inc. is a United States company. Our personnel and some of our service providers, including the artificial intelligence, email delivery, and error monitoring providers, are in the United States or process data there. Transfers out of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland take place on the basis of the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum where applicable, together with the additional technical and organizational measures we consider necessary.
You can request a copy of the safeguards in place by writing to privacy@invitetrip.com.
7. How long we keep information
| Information | Retention |
|---|---|
| Account and profile data | While your account is open |
| Account data after you delete your account | Anonymized or deleted within 30 days, during which deletion can be reversed on request |
| Messages, including voice messages | While the account is open; deleted or anonymized with the account |
| Message translations (cached) | While the underlying message exists |
| Individual profile visit records | 180 days |
| The running total of visits between two members | While both accounts exist |
| Identity verification outcome and reference | While your account is open, then up to 12 months |
| Reports, incident records, and enforcement decisions | Up to 5 years after resolution, to detect repeat behavior, prevent removed members from returning, and defend legal claims |
| Records relating to a permanent removal | Retained as long as necessary to keep the removal effective |
| Payment and transaction records | As required by tax and accounting law, generally 7 to 10 years |
| Technical logs | Up to 12 months |
| Backups | Overwritten on a rolling cycle, no later than 90 days |
Where we must keep information for safety or legal reasons after you delete your account, we keep the minimum necessary and stop using it for any other purpose.
8. Security
We use encryption in transit, encryption of stored data, hashed passwords, database-level access rules restricting each member's data to that member, access controls limiting staff access to what a task requires, and logging of administrative actions. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach occurs that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as the law requires.
9. Your choices
- Edit or delete most profile information at any time in your settings.
- Control notifications in your settings, and turn them off entirely at any time.
- Block or unmatch another member at any time.
- Take a break at any time, which hides you from other members without deleting anything.
- Turn on invisible browsing, on a Premium or Signature plan, so that the members whose profiles you open are not shown your visit and it is not counted toward their total.
- Hide your presence, on Signature, so that your profile does not appear in discovery or in trips and other members no longer see when you were last active.
- Have your account deleted at any time by asking us at privacy@invitetrip.com. There is no self-service delete button in the product yet; we do it for you and confirm when it is done.
- Withdraw consent for sensitive information by removing it.
10. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have some or all of the following rights: to know what we hold and get a copy of it; to correct inaccurate data; to delete data; to restrict or object to processing; to receive your data in a portable format; to withdraw consent; to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data and of targeted advertising and profiling; and to appeal a refusal.
To exercise any right, write to privacy@invitetrip.com. You can correct and remove profile information yourself in your account settings; deletion of the whole account is carried out by us on request.
We respond within the period the applicable law allows, generally one month in Europe and 45 days in the United States, and we will tell you if we need longer. We do not charge for this, and we do not treat you differently for exercising a right. We may need to verify your identity before acting, using information we already hold, and we will not ask for more than necessary.
If you use an authorized agent, we may ask for proof of their authority.
11. Privacy rights in the United States
11.1 California
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended, California residents have the rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, limit the use of sensitive personal information, and not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
Categories of personal information we have collected in the past 12 months, using the statutory categories: identifiers; personal information listed in the California customer records statute; characteristics of protected classifications; commercial information; internet or other electronic network activity information; audio and visual information (photographs and voice messages); professional or employment-related information; and inferences drawn from the above. We also collect sensitive personal information, specifically information about sex life or sexual orientation, and, for members who verify, a government identifier processed by our verification provider.
Sources, purposes, and recipients are described in sections 2, 3, and 5.
Sale and sharing. We have not sold personal information and have not shared it for cross-context behavioral advertising in the past 12 months, and we do not do so now. Because of this, we do not display a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link.
Sensitive personal information. We use it only to provide the Service you requested, to keep the platform safe, and for other purposes permitted without a right to limit under the Act. We do not use or disclose it to infer characteristics about you. Because of this, we do not display a "Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information" link.
Retention is described in section 7.
Opt-out preference signals. We honor the Global Privacy Control. Because we do not sell or share personal information, the signal does not change how we handle your data, but it is respected as a valid opt-out.
Shine the Light. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
This section is reviewed and updated at least every 12 months.
11.2 Other US states
If you live in a state with a comprehensive consumer privacy law, including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, Minnesota, Maryland, Indiana, Kentucky, or Rhode Island, you have the rights listed in section 10 to the extent that state's law provides them, including the right to appeal if we refuse a request. To appeal, reply to our decision and write "Appeal" in the subject line. If we deny your appeal, you may complain to your state Attorney General.
Sensitive data. We treat information revealing sexual orientation, and any biometric or precise geolocation data, as sensitive. Where your state requires consent before processing sensitive data, we rely on the consent you give when you provide it. We do not sell sensitive data in any state, and we do not process it beyond what is necessary to provide the Service you asked for.
Targeted advertising and profiling. We do not use personal data for targeted advertising, and we do not profile members in furtherance of decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects.
Washington, Nevada, and Connecticut residents should also read our separate Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy.
12. Privacy rights in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland
12.1 Controller and representatives
InviteTrip Inc. is the controller. Because we have no establishment in the European Union or the United Kingdom, we are required to appoint representatives.
- Representative in the European Union (GDPR Article 27): [TO BE APPOINTED AND NAMED HERE BEFORE LAUNCH IN THE EUROPEAN UNION.]
- Representative in the United Kingdom (UK GDPR Article 27): [TO BE APPOINTED AND NAMED HERE BEFORE LAUNCH IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.]
- Representative in Switzerland (Article 14 revised FADP): [TO BE ASSESSED AND, IF REQUIRED, APPOINTED AND NAMED HERE.]
You may contact a representative on any matter relating to the processing of your personal data, as an alternative to contacting us directly.
12.2 Your rights
You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and portability, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. Where we rely on legitimate interests, you may object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation, and we will stop unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, or the processing is needed for legal claims.
12.3 Complaints
You may complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the country of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. In the United Kingdom this is the Information Commissioner's Office. In Switzerland it is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner. We would appreciate the chance to address your concern first.
12.4 Providing your data
Providing account and profile data is necessary to use the Service. Providing sensitive matching preferences is optional, but some matching features will not work without them. Identity verification is optional, but unverified accounts have restricted functionality.
13. Cookies
See the Cookie Policy.
14. Children
The Service is for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor is using the Service, contact us at the address in the Legal Notice and we will investigate and remove the account. We do not process the personal data of known children for any purpose.
15. Changes to this policy
We will post any revised policy here with a new version number and effective date. Where a change is material, we will notify you through the Service or by email before it takes effect.
