Abstimmungsergebnis: Sehr unheimlich

Started in 1997, this dating app is targeted at Jewish men and women looking for other Jewish people to date. Free to sign up and browse profiles, users must have a subscription to message other users. With around 200,000 users worldwide, the app allows people to target specific Jewish affiliations such as Conservative, Hasidic, or Reform as part of their search. Users don't have to be Jewish to sign up, there is a "Willing to convert" profile option. Both straight and LGBTQ profile options are available on Jdate. And while users are only required to provide some basic personal information to sign up, users more open to sharing personal information will get more matches on the app.

Was könnte passieren, wenn etwas schiefgeht?

You learn some interesting things researching dating apps. Here's one: The Jdate app ask for permissions to control the flashlight on your phone and the ability to disable your lock screen. Weird and a little creepy, right? Creepy app permissions aside, Jdate says they don't "sell" your personal information based on a the legal definition of "sell." They aren't clear on how they might otherwise share or exchange your information though. And be warned, if you connect your Facebook account to Jdate they could be collecting a lot of data on you, including your name, profile picture, public Facebook profile, network, gender, username, user ID, age range or birthday, place of work, relationship interests, language, location, country, interests, photos, photos you are tagged in, videos, contacts list, friends lists or followers and other information such as information about Facebook friends you might share in common with other members. Shoot, depending on the site and your privacy settings, they may also post information to your social network. Yikes! Remember, when you connect a social media account like Facebook to Jdate, both Facebook and Jdate now potentially collect more information together. That's why we recommend users don't link your dating app to Facebook. What's the worst that could happen? Well, we'd hate to see the app take control of the flashlight on your phone and turn it on in the middle of a date with an SOS warning. That would be awful, as would Jdate collecting a whole bunch of information about you and sharing it around with others without your knowledge.

Welche Daten sammelt das Unternehmen?

Wie nutzt das Unternehmen die Daten?

JDate claims not to “sell” personal information, however, also claims that “If we exchange personal information with third party partners for monetary or other valuable consideration in the future, we will take steps to avoid activities that could be considered a “sale” of California consumer personal information, such as by seeking consent or by excluding California residents from such promotions or activities.” The dating app uses, aside from technical data, users’ location, gender and age to serve targeted advertising and profiling, as well as permit advertising networks to collect information on users.
