|'''Zero data-selling or ad-tracking.'''

|Your info isn’t monetised or passed to ad networks. No creepy retargeting.

'''~~With other users:~~''' ~~when You share personal information or otherwise interact in the public areas with other users, such information may be viewed by all~~ users and ~~may be publicly distributed outside~~.

|'''GDPR-compliant & globally transparent.''' Identifies an EU representative, lawful bases, and user rights.

'''~~With Your consent:~~''' ~~We may disclose Your personal information~~ for ~~any other purpose with Your consent~~.~~</blockquote>The language~~ of the policy raises a lot suspicion that the app is created to fish for private information to later sell that data either to a business partner or to sell the company outright with all the valuable data.

|Even if you’re outside Europe, you get EU-level protections and clear opt-outs.

|-

|'''Trusted processors only.''' Firebase, RevenueCat, App Store / Google Play, Postmark—each bound by strict contracts & encryption.

|Your data flows through reputable, security-audited services, not random third-parties.

|-

|'''Clear retention limits.''' Content auto-purges after 24 months of inactivity; receipts kept 10 years for tax.

|Data isn’t hoarded forever. There’s a schedule, so less risk if accounts lie dormant.

|-

|'''One-tap delete & portability.''' You can erase or export everything from in-app settings.

|You stay in control; leaving Lovify doesn’t trap your data.

|-

|'''Child-safety gate.''' Under-13/16 users are not allowed.

|Reduces legal risk for parents and keeps the community adult-focused.

|-

|'''Modern security stack.''' TLS, AES-256 at rest, MFA for staff, annual pentests.

|Lower chance of breaches; swift response if something goes wrong.

|}

A more minor issue is that the app seems to not function properly for some people where the questions and answers are not correctly synchronised. According to the replies of the developer the issue seems to relate to some kind of localization update.
