Privacy Policy
Last updated: 3 October 2026
Who we are
Radar Dating is operated from Lithuania by Lukas Skaburskis under the Radar Dating brand. We are responsible for the personal information described in this policy.
Privacy contact:
radardating.support@gmail.com
Correspondence address: 287 Lincoln Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207, United States.
The address is for correspondence; Radar operates from Lithuania.
This policy covers the Radar Dating web app. Any information collected separately by the public landing website must be covered by an appropriate notice.
What information we collect
Your account. Your email address, account identifier, sign-in provider, account creation details and email verification status. Supabase handles email and password authentication. If you sign in with Google, we receive information such as your email, name and profile image.
Your profile and preferences. Your name, date of birth, gender, photo, bio, languages, relationship goal, profile prompt, preferred genders and age range, where you provide them.
Your questionnaire answers. Your selected answers, interests derived from them and the dates your answers were recorded.
Your location and safe zones. Your device coordinates, the position published for discovery, update times and whether your position has changed. For safe zones, we store their names, centre coordinates, radius and active status.
Your interactions and requests. Waves, their responses and timing, encounter feedback, reports, support emails and information needed to handle safety or privacy requests.
Technical information. Browser and device information, sign-in sessions and technical request information, such as IP addresses and service logs.
Why we use it
We use your information to create and manage your account, display your profile, discover nearby people, apply preferences and safe zones, calculate compatibility, and manage waves and feedback.
We also use relevant information to answer requests, review photos, investigate reports, handle account restrictions and protect Radar from misuse. These reviews are handled manually by Radar's operator. A reviewed photo or verification label is not a background check or a guarantee of another person's conduct.
Discovery uses automated filtering and compatibility calculations based on your profile, preferences, questionnaire and location. It does not guarantee a suitable match or a successful connection.
We ask for your explicit consent before storing and using your preferred genders to filter discovery and find compatible people, because these preferences may reveal sexual orientation. The choice is optional and starts unchecked. Without consent, you can keep your account, but discovery stays paused. You can withdraw in Account & Settings → Privacy & Safeguards; withdrawal removes these preferences and pauses discovery. We keep a record of your consent and withdrawal while your account remains active. Accepting this policy does not itself provide consent. This consent covers your preferred genders. Please avoid including health information, religious or political beliefs, or other sensitive personal information about yourself or others in your bio, prompts or support messages unless needed to explain a request. Contact us to remove sensitive information you have already provided.
Our legal bases
Under the GDPR, we rely on:
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Create and manage your account; provide requested profiles, ordinary questionnaire-based compatibility, nearby discovery, safe zones and waves | Performance of our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)), limited to information necessary to provide the service you request |
| Store and use preferred genders, which may reveal sexual orientation, for discovery filtering and compatibility | Your consent (Article 6(1)(a)) and explicit consent for this sensitive information (Article 9(2)(a)) |
| Prevent misuse, secure the service, review photos and reports, handle account restrictions and answer ordinary support requests | Our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) in providing a safe, reliable service and protecting users, balanced against your rights |
| Meet applicable legal requirements and handle legally required rights requests or disclosures | Compliance with a legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)) |
You may object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where consent is our basis, withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully carried out before withdrawal. Account information is needed to maintain your account; location and consented preferences are needed for nearby discovery. Without them, discovery cannot operate, but you may retain your account.
How location works
Radar requests device-location access for nearby discovery. While the live map is active, it obtains precise device coordinates and stores location information on your device and in its database.
The app generally evaluates position updates every five minutes. Small movements may leave the previous position unchanged, and some updates, including an initial position, can happen immediately. This is not a guaranteed five-minute delay and does not itself reduce the precision of your coordinates.
Other signed-in users may receive your published position and distance through discovery. Closing the app does not immediately hide your last published position. Discovery excludes positions more than two hours old, measured from their last publication. Hiding a position does not automatically erase it from storage.
You can revoke location permission in your browser or device settings. This stops future permitted location access, but does not immediately remove information already published. Contact support for help with stored information.
How safe zones work
Safe zones normally cover a 500-metre radius around a place you choose. An active safe zone is intended to exclude you from discovery when your stored published position falls inside it.
Radar stores safe-zone coordinates to apply this rule. GPS accuracy and update timing can affect when exclusion takes effect. Safe zones do not make those coordinates anonymous to Radar or guarantee personal safety.
What other users can see
The app can provide other signed-in users with profile information, including your name, age, gender, photo, bio, languages, relationship goal, prompt, interests and questionnaire information. Discovery can also provide your published coordinates and distance. Wave participants receive relevant interaction information.
Profile photos use publicly accessible storage links. Someone with a photo link may view it outside the app. Information another person has already viewed or saved cannot always be recalled.
Our service providers
We use Supabase for authentication, the database, photo storage and realtime interactions. The Supabase database is hosted in region eu-west-1. Vercel hosts the web app at app.radardating.com.
Maps load resources from CARTO, fonts from Google Fonts and flag images from FlagCDN. Google processes information when you choose Google sign-in. Support correspondence is handled through Gmail.
These services may receive IP addresses and standard technical request information. We use Supabase dashboard usage statistics to manage the service. The app does not integrate Google Analytics or PostHog tracking.
We may disclose relevant information when required by law, in response to a lawful request, or where necessary to investigate misuse and protect people's rights and safety.
Some providers and their subprocessors may process information outside the European Economic Area. Supabase’s Data Processing Addendum includes European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses for applicable transfers. Other providers describe their processing and transfer arrangements in their privacy notices. An EU database region does not mean every provider processes information only in the EU. Contact radardating.support@gmail.com for information about applicable safeguards and copies where available.
Provider information: Supabase, Vercel, Google, CARTO and FlagCDN.
Browser storage
Radar uses browser storage to maintain sign-in, remember navigation information, cache profiles, save current and published coordinates, and cache resources for the installed web app.
Some locally stored information has no automatic expiry on your device. This storage supports sign-in and app operation; the app does not use advertising cookies. Clearing site data can remove local information and sign you out. It does not delete your server-side account or information already received by another person.
How long we keep information
We use the following retention schedule:
| Information | Retention |
|---|---|
| Account, profile, questionnaire, safe zones and photos | While your account is active; removed through the verified account-deletion process, subject to limited lawful exceptions |
| Consent and withdrawal records | While your account is active; removed with account deletion, subject to a specific lawful preservation requirement |
| Stored location | Eligible for deletion 24 hours after its last successful update; removed during the next daily cleanup |
| Waves and ordinary encounter feedback | Eligible for deletion 90 days after creation; removed during the next daily cleanup. Waves linked to retained safety reports are kept while those reports remain |
| Safety reports | During investigation and for 12 months after closure, unless a specific legal need requires longer preservation |
| Support emails | During handling and for 12 months after resolution |
A wave expiring or a location disappearing from discovery does not mean its record has already been deleted. Relevant information may be retained longer where required for a specific legal obligation or dispute. Such retention must be limited to that purpose.
Daily database cleanup is scheduled for 03:00 UTC. Report cleanup depends on the operator recording when a case is closed; support emails are handled separately and manually. Account deletion also removes associated interaction and report records, so the periods above do not guarantee that every record will remain for the full period. Deleting an active record does not necessarily remove it immediately from provider backups or technical logs. Providers may retain copies under their backup cycles and for security, service operation or legal obligations. These copies are separate from active app records; contact us for information about the retention applicable to your request.
Deleting your account
Email radardating.support@gmail.com from your registered address to request account deletion. We may take proportionate steps to verify that the account belongs to you.
We process verified deletion requests within 30 days, covering the account, profile, questionnaire answers, photos, safe zones and location, subject to applicable legal exceptions. Opening the deletion screen or an email composer does not itself delete anything.
Account deletion is handled manually by Radar’s operator, who removes all stored photo uploads before deleting the account and its associated database records. Replacing a photo does not currently erase earlier uploads; those uploads are included in account deletion. Clearing browser storage, removing the installed web app or logging out does not delete your account. Copies held by other users may remain outside Radar’s control.
Your rights
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your information, and object to certain processing. Where processing depends on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing.
Send privacy requests to radardating.support@gmail.com. We may need proportionate identity verification and will respond within applicable legal deadlines, explaining any lawful limitation.
You can complain to Lithuania’s State Data Protection Inspectorate or another competent supervisory authority, including the authority where you live or work.
Age, security and changes
Radar is intended for people aged 18 or older. Contact support if you believe an underage person has an account.
No online service guarantees complete security. Keep sign-in details private and tell us if you suspect unauthorised access.
We will update this policy when our practices change, revise its date and provide additional notice of material changes where required.
