What TrustDate does — and doesn't — collect.

Effective: May 11, 2026 · Last updated: May 11, 2026

The short version, in plain English: TrustDate runs entirely on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store your dating-profile photos, the profiles you view, the people you flag, or any record of how you use the extension. We have no servers that receive your data. We do not know you have installed TrustDate.

1. What we don't collect

To be specific, TrustDate does not collect, transmit, or store:

The profiles you view on Match, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, or eHarmony
The photos on those profiles
Any text from those profiles, including bios and messages
Your reverse-image search results
Profiles you mark as suspicious
Investigation history you build up over time
Your identity, your dating-app accounts, or any account information
Analytics, telemetry, error reports, or usage statistics
Anything about you, your habits, your relationships, or your activity

We do not have servers that receive any of the above. We could not retrieve this information about you even if we wanted to, because it never leaves your computer.

2. What is stored — locally, on your device

The extension stores the following in your browser's local storage (chrome.storage.local), readable only by the extension itself on your specific device:

Photo fingerprints (perceptual hashes) — 64-bit hashes (16 hex characters) of dating profile photos you encounter. These are mathematical fingerprints, not images. The original image cannot be reconstructed from a hash.
Profile metadata — display names, ages, and locations as shown on profiles you view, alongside their fingerprints, so we can show you "this photo has been seen before" when relevant.
Investigation history — which reverse-image search engines you clicked, when, on which photos, for your own reference.
Suspicious-profile list — photo fingerprints of profiles you have explicitly marked as suspicious. These let the extension flag the same photos if they appear on other profiles in the future.
Settings — which detectors you have enabled, your panel position, your threshold configuration.

All of this stays on your computer. Uninstalling the extension removes it.

3. Reverse-image search

When you click the Yandex, TinEye, or Google Lens buttons in the extension, that photo's URL or bytes are sent to those third-party services as part of the reverse-image search request. We do not control how those services use the photos you submit to them. Their respective privacy policies apply:

The reverse-image search action only runs when you explicitly click those buttons. TrustDate does not run reverse-image searches automatically.

4. What the dating sites see

Dating sites you visit (Match.com, Bumble, Hinge, etc.) see your normal browsing activity as they always would. TrustDate does not change what these sites can observe. The extension reads the DOM (the visible profile content) on those pages to extract names, bios, and photos for local analysis, but does not transmit anything to TrustDate, Alice Ventures, or any third party as a result.

5. Premium features (when available)

TrustDate may, in the future, offer optional premium features that require an account — for example, syncing your suspicious-profile list across your devices. When and if those features ship:

They will be clearly opt-in and require explicit account creation.
Photo fingerprints (hashes) — never images — would be transmitted to our servers for synchronization to your other devices.
This Privacy Policy will be updated to describe exactly what is stored, where, and for how long, before any premium feature is enabled.

Until then, no account exists. No premium tier is active. Nothing about you is on our servers because we have no servers receiving anything.

6. Children

TrustDate is not directed at children under 18. It is a tool for adults using adult dating services. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

7. Changes to this policy

If we change the way TrustDate handles your data — including adding premium features that require account creation — we will update this Privacy Policy and post the effective date. Material changes will be announced through the extension itself.
