Wingman ("we", "us", or "our") operates wingmanapp.live — a real-time social discovery app that helps people meet others at public venues. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
When you register, we collect your phone number to verify your identity and prevent fake accounts. We also collect your name, age, a short bio, and interests that you choose to provide.
We collect your precise GPS location to detect when you are physically present at a supported public venue (bar, park, concert, etc.). Location is used only to power check-ins and show you other users at the same venue in real time.
Location data is processed on-device for geofencing. We do not continuously store a history of everywhere you go. Your current venue is stored only while you are actively checked in and cleared when you leave or close the app.
Profile photos you upload are stored securely and displayed only to other users at the same venue as you.
If you start a live location sharing session using Wingman's Safety Tools, your real-time location is shared with a trusted contact you choose — this contact does not need to be a Wingman user. You set a check-in timer; if you do not manually confirm you're safe before it expires, we automatically send an SMS to your trusted contact with an alert and your last known location or venue, so they can check on you. Safety session data (start time, expiration, check-in status, and contact phone number) is stored only for the duration of the active session and deleted immediately once the session ends or you confirm you're safe.
If you enable push notifications, we collect a device token used to deliver notifications about waves, matches, messages, and account activity. You can disable push notifications at any time in your device settings.
When you enter your phone number and tap "Send Code" during sign-up, you'll receive a one-time verification code to confirm your identity. This code is used solely for account verification — no marketing or promotional messages are ever sent via SMS.
For questions about verification, contact us at privacy@wingmanapp.live.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party — ever. We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers. Your phone number is never displayed to other users.
We use the following trusted services to operate Wingman:
These providers process data only as necessary to deliver their services and are bound by their own privacy policies.
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time.
To delete your account immediately: use the Delete Account page or tap Settings → Delete Account inside the app. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.
We will process all deletion requests within 30 days. After deletion, your data cannot be recovered.
Wingman is intended for users 18 years and older. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has registered, contact us immediately.
We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit (TLS) and at rest. Auth tokens are hashed using SHA-256 before storage. We regularly review our security practices.
We may update this policy periodically. Significant changes will be communicated via in-app notification. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
