5. Tailored Matching & Recommendations

BlockTalk uses profile information, interests, preferences, lifestyle indicators, and location-based data to create more meaningful and relevant community connections. Our matching systems are designed to improve compatibility and local relevance, not random networking.

6. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with service providers supporting app operations, cloud hosting and security providers, analytics providers, legal authorities when required by law, and moderation or safety partners when necessary. Public profile information may be visible to other users depending on your settings.

7. User Safety & Community Standards

BlockTalk is committed to maintaining a respectful and safe community. We may monitor reports of abuse or misconduct, remove harmful content, suspend or terminate violating accounts, and use moderation tools and automated systems to improve safety.

8. Data Storage & Security

We use commercially reasonable security measures to protect your information, including encrypted communications, secure servers, access controls, and authentication systems. However, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights & Controls

Depending on applicable laws, you may have the right to:

Access your information
Update your profile
