Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 27, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Footography (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “App”) collects, uses, shares and protects your information when you use our mobile application and related services. Footography is a dating and social application intended only for adults aged 18 and over. By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Who we are
Footography is operated by LORDLY, a company registered in France (SIREN 989287271 — VAT FR64989287271), with its registered office at 58 rue de Monceau, CS 48756, 75380 Paris CEDEX 08, France. For any privacy question or request, contact us at contact@lordly.us. For users in the European Union, LORDLY acts as the “data controller” for your personal data under the GDPR.
2. Information we collect
a) Information you provide
- Account & identity: when you sign up (via Google Sign-In, Apple, or email), we receive your email address and a unique account identifier.
- Profile information: your name, age/date of birth, gender, photos, bio, interests, and dating preferences.
- Messages & content: the text and photos you send in conversations with other users.
- Support requests: any information you provide when you contact us or report another user.
b) Information collected automatically
- Device & usage data: device model, operating system, app version, and how you interact with the App (for reliability and performance).
- Push notification token: a Firebase Cloud Messaging token so we can send you message and match notifications.
c) Purchases
If you buy a subscription or in-app item, the transaction is processed by Google Play Billing or the Apple App Store. We receive confirmation of your purchase and your subscription status, but we never receive or store your full payment-card details.
3. How we use your information
- To create and manage your account and profile.
- To operate core features: discovery, matching, and messaging.
- To show relevant profiles based on your preferences.
- To send notifications about new messages and matches.
- To process subscriptions and unlock premium features.
- To keep the community safe, detect abuse, and enforce our Terms.
- To provide customer support and respond to your requests.
- To comply with legal obligations.
4. Content moderation & safety
To protect our users, photos uploaded to the App may be automatically analyzed using Google Cloud Vision to detect explicit, illegal, or harmful content. We also provide tools to block and report other users. Accounts that violate our policies or our Child Safety Standards may be suspended or removed.
5. How we share your information
We do not sell your personal data. We share information only as follows:
- With other users: your profile (photos, name, age, bio, interests, approximate distance) is visible to other users as part of the dating service. Messages are shared with the people you message.
- Service providers: we use Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore database, Cloud Functions, Cloud Messaging, Performance Monitoring), Google Cloud Vision for photo moderation, and DigitalOcean Spaces for storing photos and media. These providers process data on our behalf under their own terms.
- App stores: Google and Apple for purchase processing.
- Legal reasons: when required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public.
6. Data retention
We keep your personal data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, we delete your profile and associated personal data, except where we must retain certain information to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. Backups are purged on a rolling basis.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live (including under the EU GDPR), you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you;
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
- Delete your data (“right to be forgotten”);
- Object to or restrict certain processing;
- Request a portable copy of your data;
- Withdraw consent at any time.
You can exercise most of these directly in the App, or by emailing contact@lordly.us. EU users may also lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority.
8. Security
We use industry-standard measures — including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) and access-controlled cloud infrastructure provided by Google — to protect your data. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children
Footography is strictly for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor has created an account, we will remove it. See our Child Safety Standards.
10. International transfers
Your data may be processed on servers located outside your country (including the United States, where Google’s infrastructure operates). Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new version here and update the “Last updated” date. Significant changes may be communicated in the App.
