Do you live in California? Check out our California Privacy Statement, which supplements this Privacy Policy.


Hey there! Welcome to our Privacy Policy.

We know reading a privacy policy might not be everyone's idea of a good time, but hear us out. We put a lot of effort into making this policy as clear and engaging as possible, because we actually want you to read it! Think of us as your digital wingmate, here to guide you through the ins and outs of what data we collect, and why and how we use it. So get cozy, grab your beverage of choice, and let's dive into the world of personal data together.

This Privacy Policy applies from April 1, 2025.

1. Who We Are

The company responsible for your data is:

Missing Pixel LLC

8750 North Central Expressway

Suite 1400

Dallas, TX 75231

United States

2. Where This Privacy Policy Applies

This Privacy Policy applies to websites, apps, events and other services we operate under the chemistry brand. Whether you're searching for your soulmate or something less serious, this Policy has got you covered. For simplicity, we just refer to all of our platforms and offerings as our "service" in this Privacy Policy.

If for some reason, one of our services requires its own separate privacy policy, then that policy will be made available to you and that policy -- not this Privacy Policy -- will apply.

3. Data We Collect

It goes without saying, we can't help you develop meaningful connections without you providing some information about yourself, like basic profile details and the types of people you'd like to meet. Using our service also generates some information, such as when you logged in and how you used the service. We may also collect data from third parties, like when you access the service through an account you have on another platform (e.g., Facebook, Google or Apple) or when you upload information from your account on another platform to complete your profile. If you're interested in all the details, be sure to check out the table below.

Data you give us
CategoriesDescription
Account DataWhen you create an account, you give us basic information for your account to be set up such as your phone number, email address and date of birth.
Profile DataWhen you complete your profile, you share additional details about you, such as your gender, interests, preferences, approximate location, etc. Some of this data may be considered sensitive or special in certain countries, such as details about sexual orientation, racial or ethnic origins, or political affiliations. If you choose to provide this data, you consent to us using it as laid out in this Privacy Policy.
ContentWhen you use our service, you may post photos, videos, audio, text and other types of content, such as your chats with other members.
Purchase DataWhen you make a purchase, we keep the details of the transaction (e.g., what you purchased, the date of the transaction, and the price). The exact data depends on the payment method you choose. When you pay directly with us (rather than through a platform such as iOS or Android), you provide your debit or credit card number or other financial info.
Marketing, Survey and Research DataWe sometimes run (i) surveys, focus groups, or market studies for research purposes and (ii) promotions, events or contests for marketing purposes. When you choose to participate, you give us information to process your entry and participation, as well as your responses to our questions and your feedback.
Third-Party DataWhen you choose to share with us information about other people (for example, if you use the contact details of someone you know for a given feature or if you submit a query or report involving a member), we process this data on your behalf to complete your request. You can learn more about how chemistry processes the information of non-members here.
Customer Support Data

When you contact us, you provide us with information that may be necessary to help address your inquiry. Other people may also submit queries or reports involving you. Finally, our moderation tools and teams can collect additional data as part of their investigations.

We consider the safety and security of members a top priority. Your data may be shared with us by our affiliated companies to allow us to take necessary actions, including closing your account or preventing you from creating an account on our service.

Where legally allowed, we can also receive information about suspected or convicted bad actors from third parties as part of our efforts to ensure our members' safety and security.

Social Media DataYou may decide to share data with us through your accounts on other platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, Google or Apple), for instance if you decide to create and log into your account via these platforms or if you decide to upload data such as photos or playlists onto our service from these platforms.
Data generated or automatically collected
CategoriesDescription
Usage DataUsing the service generates data about your activity, including how you use it (e.g., when you logged in, features you've been using, actions taken, information shown to you, referring webpages, ads you interacted with) and how you interact with others (e.g., searching, matching, communicating). We may also receive data related to interactions you had with our ads on third party's websites or apps.
Technical DataUsing the service involves the collection of data from and about the device(s) you use to access our service, including hardware and software information such as IP address, device ID and type, apps settings and characteristics, app crashes, advertising IDs and identifiers associated with cookies or other technologies that may uniquely identify a device or browser. For more information about cookies, see our Cookie Policy.
Other data we collect with your permission/consent
CategoriesDescription
Geolocation DataIf you give us permission, we can collect your geolocation (latitude and longitude) from your device. If you decline permission, features that rely on precise geolocation may not be available to you.
