Privacy
Independent operator: Dating App Challenge is run by Jerrad Ross. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Hinge or Match Group. We do not ask for your Hinge password, sign-in codes, or account access.
Consent notice version 4. Choosing an export reads it on your device. It does not submit your export information. Before any submission, you review the information, select an unchecked consent box, and press Submit update. Selecting another file or editing a reviewed field clears that consent. The local-only owner test never submits export information.
What is sent when you submit
- Your display label (first name and last initial, or an assigned label), score totals, activity coverage and profile-bonus states.
- Any full name, phone number or email you leave in the optional contact fields. Suggestions are read locally from user.csv and can be edited or cleared.
- Protected account and activity matching signals. An identifier derived from an export email or phone is used to match updates and possible duplicates, even if you clear the optional contact fields. This is not proof of ownership or authenticity.
- Available sent and received message text and included voice recordings dated within the challenge window, with timestamps, direction and hashed conversation identifiers, for organizer verification.
The complete ZIP is not uploaded. Messages outside the challenge dates, unrelated media and profile prompt answers/media are not collected by this flow. Voice URLs are not fetched: only uniquely matched recordings already inside the ZIP are used. Message text and recordings are not automatically redacted and can contain names or other personal information about you or other people. Only submit information you are entitled to share.
Who can see it
The public leaderboard shows only display labels, rank and points. Contact details, message text and recordings never appear on the public leaderboard. Jerrad can privately view contact details and read or listen to verification evidence to manage entries and prize claims. Owner-test records remain private. Hosting providers process the data to operate the service. Contact values and evidence content are encrypted in storage; evidence metadata is also stored. Owner access checks protect organizer tools. Encryption and hashed identifiers do not make message content anonymous.
Retention, withdrawal and deletion
Stored submissions, optional contact details, matching signals, message text and recordings, including earlier upload versions, are retained indefinitely until manually deleted. There is no automatic deletion deadline. Withdrawal hides the score but does not delete stored records or evidence. To request deletion or discuss permission to use your data, email jerradross90@gmail.com. Complete participant-data deletion is not self-service in this build. Provider backup retention and deletion timing have not been verified.
Limits and browser storage
Verification evidence is limited to a 2 MiB transcript, 8 MiB per recording, 32 MiB and 100 recordings per submission. Missing, ambiguous or oversized evidence is reported as partial rather than assumed complete. Exports and scores remain unverified. Matching updates replace the displayed score without stacking points.
Your browser may keep the display name/settings, a private upload key and a submission receipt. Parsed export information remains in tab memory and clears on reload. Reloading or clearing browser storage does not delete previously submitted information. Losing the upload key can prevent updates or withdrawal from a different browser.
Public participant intake remains closed until explicitly opened by the organizer. This local corrective build does not change that state.
