How your personal data is used:
We only share what’s needed to help other users see if you're a potential match according to their filters and vice versa. We only disclose data to third parties if legally required to do so by a statutory authority from the appropriate jurisdiction. We never sell your data to third parties. Your privacy is our priority!

2. Login Info: We store your login info to verify your identity and grant access to your account. Slide currently uses a secure mobile number and ‘OTP’ login system.

You can review their privacy policy here. Photos uploaded in the future are also authenticated before they appear on your profile and are visible to other users. We may use software to detect and notify us of inappropriate content (e.g., derogatory visuals or unlawful use such as obscene, pornographic, paedophilic, invasive of another’s privacy including bodily privacy, insulting or harassing on the basis of gender, racially or ethnically objectionable) and may delete such content or accounts they are sent from. Affected Users can contact Slide to contest the decision. This applies to all visual content you post on Slide and also content retrieved from third-party social and digital media platforms you have voluntarily connected to Slide.

8. Social Media Content: When creating your profile, you'll connect 1 or more social and digital platforms you use frequently. With your permission, content from these platforms is displayed on your profile, but your name and handle remain private and can't be used to access your profiles directly outside of Slide’s platform. The content, such as your posts or likes, is refreshed regularly based on your recent actions on said platforms, and we don't process older content for more than one month once replaced with fresh content on the mobile app or website.

9. Screenshots and Profile Privacy: The app disallows screenshots of user profiles because protecting your identity is a priority. We also do not allow profiles to be circulated within your network of acquaintances or with third parties via a ‘share’ feature.

10. Chat Messages and Other Written Content: Your chat messages are confidential and only processed for you to access your chat history and for others to view messages sent to them by you. We may use software to detect and notify us of inappropriate content (e.g., derogatory language or unlawful use) and may delete such content or accounts they are sent from. Affected users can contact Slide to contest the decision. This applies to all written content you post on Slide and also content retrieved from third-party social and digital media platforms you have voluntarily connected to Slide.
