Privacy Policy

When you join the waiting list, we may collect:

• your phone number;
• your country calling code;
• your city and country;
• whether you consent to receive automated text messages;
• what brought you to Fewer;
• where you are in your current search for a relationship;
• what would make an introduction feel worth your time;
• the date and time you joined;
• the source through which you discovered Fewer;
• your responses to optional research questions.

Joining the waiting list should not require consent to promotional text messages.

When accounts become available, we may collect:

• your name;
• phone number;
• email address;
• date of birth;
• age;
• city, region, and country;
• authentication and account-security information;
• language preferences;
• account status;
• identity or age-verification results, where applicable.

We do not currently intend to continuously track your precise device location. If location functionality is later introduced, the product and this policy should explain clearly whether the information is approximate, user-provided, or derived from the device.

Fewer may invite you to share information through written or spoken conversation, including:

• your relationship intentions;
• values and beliefs;
• lifestyle;
• communication preferences;
• relationship experiences;
• boundaries;
• expectations;
• interests;
• family plans;
• geographic preferences;
• reflections about previous relationships;
• what you find difficult or meaningful when dating;
• preferences relating to potential introductions.

You decide what to share. However, some information may be necessary for Fewer to provide meaningful introductions.

Please avoid unnecessarily sharing names, contact details, or private information about former partners or other people.

If Fewer introduces voice conversations, we may collect:

• audio recordings of conversations with Fewer;
• transcripts of those recordings;
• voice messages you deliberately send to another member;
• feedback conversations;
• technical information needed to process or play audio.

The final product must explain separately:

• when recording begins;
• whether raw audio is retained;
• how long it is retained;
• whether transcripts are retained;
• who can access recordings;
• which transcription or AI providers process them;
• whether any recording is reviewed by a person;
• whether recordings are used to improve models.

Fewer does not currently intend to create biometric voiceprints or use voice to uniquely identify members. This must be reassessed if technical implementation changes.

If profile features become available, we may collect:

• photos;
• a short biography;
• answers shown to other members;
• introduction content;
• media you choose to exchange;
• profile edits and preferences.

The final product must define whether photos are used only for presentation, or whether any automated image analysis occurs. Fewer should not claim that photos are excluded from matching unless that is technically true.

Fewer may use information you provide to generate an evolving understanding of matters such as:

• values;
• relationship intentions;
• communication style;
• lifestyle;
• preferences;
• interpersonal patterns;
• areas of alignment;
• possible areas of difference;
• qualities that may make an introduction worth exploring.

These are interpretations and inferences, not objective truths, diagnoses, or professional psychological assessments.

Where possible, you should be able to:

• review them;
• correct them;
• remove them;
• tell us they do not represent you;
• provide additional context.

To provide and improve introductions, we may collect:

• introductions offered;
• whether an introduction was viewed or accepted;
• whether both people chose to communicate;
• whether a first or subsequent meeting occurred;
• private feedback you provide about an introduction;
• whether both people wanted to continue;
• broad relationship outcomes over time;
• reasons an introduction did or did not feel worthwhile;
• reports or safety concerns.

We should avoid asking members to disclose unnecessary private information about the other person.

Where outcomes are used to improve Fewer, this should happen with an appropriate legal basis and, where needed, explicit consent.

We may collect information contained in:

• messages sent to customer support;
• safety reports;
• feedback;
• research interviews;
• text-message responses;
• requests to exercise privacy rights;
• complaints and appeals.

If member-to-member messaging becomes available, the policy must explain whether messages are encrypted, moderated, automatically scanned, retained, or reviewed following a report.

When you use the website or service, we may automatically collect:

• IP address;
• device and browser type;
• operating system;
• preferred language;
• approximate location derived from IP address;
• pages viewed;
• buttons selected;
• dates and times of activity;
• referral source;
• crash and performance information;
• cookie identifiers;
• consent choices;
• security events.

We should collect only what is reasonably necessary to operate, secure, and improve Fewer.

We may receive information from:

• authentication providers;
• identity or age-verification providers;
• analytics providers;
• SMS and communication providers;
• safety and fraud-prevention services;
• app stores;
• payment providers;
• members who submit a report concerning another person.

We should not purchase commercial dating profiles or sensitive audience datasets about individuals.

This includes:

• recording your interest;
• understanding where Fewer should launch;
• determining likely demand;
• contacting you about availability;
• inviting selected participants to research or early access;
• preventing duplicate, fraudulent, or abusive registrations.

We may send:

• requested service messages;
• waiting-list confirmations;
• invitations to early access;
• essential privacy, security, or legal notices;
• responses to support requests;
• promotional launch updates where you have consented.

Direct-marketing SMS should rely on a clear and separate consent where required. EU electronic-communications rules protect people against unsolicited direct marketing, including SMS, and consent may be withdrawn.

You may opt out of marketing messages at any time, including by following the instructions in a message.

Opting out of promotional messages should not remove you from the waiting list unless you separately ask us to remove your waiting-list entry.

We may use information from conversations and questionnaires to:

• create summaries;
• identify values and intentions;
• understand communication preferences;
• form hypotheses about relational patterns;
• allow you to review and refine our understanding;
• personalise your experience.

We may use information about members to:

• identify possible introductions;
• assess practical compatibility such as geography and relationship intentions;
• reason about possible areas of alignment or complementarity;
• avoid known dealbreakers or conflicts;
• decide when an introduction may be appropriate;
• explain why an introduction may be worth considering.

Fewer does not claim to predict chemistry, love, safety, or the success of a future relationship.

We may use information to offer:

• preparation before a meeting;
• questions for reflection;
• structured feedback after an introduction;
• prompts that help members clarify what they experienced;
• communication support.

These features do not constitute psychotherapy, medical treatment, or professional relationship counselling.

We may use information to:

• verify age or identity;
• detect fraudulent or duplicate accounts;
• prevent harassment, exploitation, impersonation, and abuse;
• review reports;
• moderate content;
• enforce our Terms;
• protect the rights and safety of members;
• comply with legal obligations.

We may use appropriately protected information to:

• understand whether introductions are useful;
• test product features;
• improve conversations and generated summaries;
• evaluate bias and fairness;
• understand broad patterns in successful and unsuccessful introductions;
• improve accessibility and performance;
• conduct internal research.

Personal voice recordings, transcripts, private messages, sensitive insights, or identifiable relationship information should not be used to train general-purpose AI models without clear disclosure and an appropriate legal basis, including consent where required.

We may process information to:

• respond to valid legal requests;
• establish or defend legal claims;
• keep records required by law;
• investigate suspected unlawful conduct;
• protect someone from serious harm;
• meet regulatory obligations.

A potential introduction may receive selected information such as:

• your name or first name;
• age;
• general location;
• photos;
• relationship intentions;
• selected profile content;
• selected values or interests;
• a carefully written explanation of why meeting may be worthwhile.

We should not disclose:

• your raw conversation transcript;
• private internal insights;
• exact address;
• private contact details;
• sensitive information you did not choose to share;
• private feedback about another introduction.

The actual introduction format must make clear what information is visible before you participate.

We may use carefully selected providers for:

• European or international cloud hosting;
• databases;
• SMS delivery;
• authentication;
• analytics;
• customer support;
• transcription;
• artificial intelligence;
• safety and moderation;
• identity and age verification;
• payments;
• error monitoring;
• email delivery.

Providers should be contractually limited to using information only for agreed purposes and must apply appropriate security measures.

The final policy should list important provider categories and, where useful, name key providers.

We may share limited information with lawyers, accountants, auditors, insurers, and security advisers where necessary.

We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

• comply with law;
• respond to a valid court or government request;
• investigate fraud or abuse;
• protect a person's safety;
• establish or defend legal claims;
• enforce our Terms.

If Fewer is reorganised, financed, acquired, merged, or sold, information may be disclosed to relevant parties subject to appropriate confidentiality and privacy safeguards.

• sell personal relationship information to data brokers;
• sell phone numbers to advertisers;
• use private conversations for third-party advertising;
• allow advertisers to target people based on sensitive relationship information;
• publicly disclose member stories without permission;
• share raw relational insights with another member;
