We've said it before, and we'll say it again: keeping your personal data private and secure is something we take very seriously. It occupies the time not only of our legal experts, but also of our tech staff behind the product and user experience, who want to make sure that you can enjoy the site safely and securely wherever in the world you may be and whatever device you might use to log in.
We've recently made some updates to our Privacy Policy, which you can read here. We've tried to make this policy free of 'jargon' and not require a law degree to understand it! We've tried to explain some of the internet security terms you might hear bandied around elsewhere – for example, we describe what 'cookies' are, what they're used for and soon there'll be information there too about the types of cookies used by Badoo! (And no, we're not talking about the chocolate chip variety….) And of course, our policy explains generally what information we collect, how we collect it, how we use it, and – most importantly – how we store and protect it.
We believe that protecting users' privacy means providing transparency around how we collect data, as well as creating controls and options for you to customize your experience on the site. And we hope that with this new policy, we've taken a step further in helping your experience on the site.
