Tangent is a social discovery app that helps people with overlapping interests meet in real life. We take privacy seriously and collect the minimum data required to make that experience good.
What we collect
- Account identity: phone number or Google sign-in, display name, and a generated user ID.
- Profile signals: onboarding answers, interests, fingerprint, approximate city (no precise GPS is stored server-side unless you explicitly enable location).
- Activity: matches you see, games you play, and diagnostics (crash reports, request errors).
What we do with it
- Generate match recommendations.
- Send one-time passwords for sign-in.
- Keep the app running and fix bugs.
We do not sell personal data. We do not use your content to train third-party AI models.
Your controls
- Edit your profile any time in the Profile tab.
- Request account deletion at /delete-account.
- Email privacy@heytangent.life with any other request.
Children
