1. Introduction & Scope
Hibbly Review ("we," "us," "our") operates the informational website hibbly-review.us, which publishes independent review content about the Hibbly dating app for a US audience. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our pages, use the on-page quiz widget, or click an outbound registration button.
This policy applies only to hibbly-review.us. It does not govern the privacy practices of Hibbly itself or any third-party platform you reach through an outbound link - once you leave our domain, that destination's own privacy policy controls. We encourage every reader asking "is online dating safe?" to read the receiving platform's policy before creating an account there.
2. Information We Collect
We collect three narrow categories of data. This site itself does not host user photos, dating profiles, or private messages - those live exclusively on the third-party platforms we review.
Information you provide
If you use our on-page Quick Quiz widget, you may voluntarily enter an age range, a stated dating intention (serious, casual, or open), and a ZIP code. This information is used only to render a personalized on-page result and is not stored in a persistent database tied to your identity.
Automatically collected data
Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools log your IP address, device and browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and time spent on each page. This data helps us understand which sections of the review are useful and diagnose technical issues.
Cookies & analytics data
We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functionality, aggregate analytics, and tracking which outbound registration button a visitor clicked (affiliate attribution). Full cookie category details are covered in our Cookie Policy section of the Terms & Conditions.
3. How We Use and Share Information
We use the information described above for four narrow purposes: operating and improving this website, measuring which content and campaigns perform well, detecting and preventing fraudulent or abusive traffic, and complying with applicable law. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share visitor data with any recipient that is not disclosed in this policy.
Dating-related data is treated as unusually sensitive. Faces, location, relationship preferences, and orientation are the kinds of details that, if mishandled by any platform, can resurface later in facial-recognition training sets, retail analytics, or surveillance tools the original person never agreed to. That risk is precisely why Hibbly Review keeps its own data footprint deliberately small: we do not ask for or retain your photo, and we do not transfer any personal data for AI model training, ours or a partner's, without your explicit, separate consent.
4. Third-Party Data Recipients & Business Partners
We work with a limited set of service providers to run this site: web hosting infrastructure, an analytics provider that processes aggregated traffic statistics, and affiliate tracking technology that records which outbound button led to a Hibbly sign-up so we can be compensated for the referral. None of these providers receives your quiz answers tied to your identity, and none is authorized to use site data for purposes beyond the service they perform for us.
When you click a registration button and leave hibbly-review.us, you become subject to Hibbly's own data practices, not ours. Consumer privacy guidance recommends reading a destination platform's privacy policy specifically for how it describes its "partners" or "affiliates," since that language can quietly cover any company with a commercial or investor relationship to the platform. We recommend the same caution before you upload any photo to any dating platform, including Hibbly. See our related disclosure in the Terms & Conditions.
5. Data Retention & Your Deletion Rights
We retain server and analytics logs for a limited operational window, generally no longer than needed for security monitoring and traffic analysis, after which they are aggregated or deleted. Quiz responses are not linked to a persistent profile and are not retained beyond your browsing session.
If you are a resident of California, Virginia, Colorado, or another state with a comprehensive privacy law, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you. Under the CCPA/CPRA and comparable state laws, we must respond to a verifiable deletion request within 45 days, with one permitted 45-day extension for complex requests. Before requesting deletion, consumer privacy guidance recommends first requesting a data export - a downloadable copy of what we hold - since that export is the only practical way to confirm exactly what information exists on file. You may submit either request using the contact details in Section 10.
6. Your Privacy Choices & Opt-Out Rights
You can decline non-essential cookies through the cookie banner shown on your first visit, or by adjusting your browser's cookie settings at any time; blocking cookies will not affect your ability to read our review content. Most browsers also let you send a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which we honor as a valid opt-out-of-sale-and-sharing request for California visitors, even though we do not sell personal information. To exercise any privacy choice that requires identity verification - such as an access or deletion request - email us using the contact details in Section 10 and we will confirm your identity through the email address you used to contact us.
7. Children's Privacy
This site and the dating platform it reviews are intended strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that a minor has submitted information through our quiz widget or contact channel, we will delete that information promptly. Parents or guardians who believe a minor has provided us data should contact us using the details in Section 10.
8. Data Security Measures
We use industry-standard safeguards to protect the limited data we process, including encrypted (HTTPS/TLS) transmission between your browser and our servers, restricted internal access to analytics dashboards, and vetting of the hosting and analytics vendors we rely on. We maintain a basic incident-response process to investigate and, where required by law, disclose any confirmed security incident affecting personal information. No website can guarantee perfect security, and we encourage you to use unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication on any dating account you create.
A note on trust: We built this policy to be more restrictive than it needs to be, precisely because dating-adjacent data has a history of ending up in places users never agreed to. If a practice isn't disclosed here, we don't do it.
9. Regulatory Compliance Context
US regulators have sharpened their scrutiny of how dating platforms collect, share, and disclose photo and demographic data in recent years, alongside comparable data-protection frameworks abroad. That broader enforcement climate is part of why review and affiliate marketing sites serving a US dating audience are expected to publish clear, legally compliant privacy policies that name their data recipients and consent basis rather than relying on vague catch-all language. This policy is written with that expectation in mind: every category of recipient we work with is disclosed above, and none receives data beyond the specific service it performs for us. This section describes general industry standards and does not allege any wrongdoing by Hibbly or any specific platform.
10. Changes to This Policy & Contact Information
We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be reflected here before they take effect; we encourage you to review this page occasionally.
