Hibbly Privacy Policy & Cookie Policy

This policy applies to everyone who visits or registers on Hibbly, an adult dating platform built for singles in the United States. "You" means any visitor or member; "we," "us," and "our" mean Hibbly. Hibbly is strictly limited to adults aged 18 and older - the Service is not directed at, and must not be used by, anyone under that age.

By using Hibbly, including completing the sign-up quiz, creating a profile, or browsing member profiles, you acknowledge that you have read and accepted this privacy policy. This page is effective as of September 23, 2026 and is designed to be read alongside our Terms & Conditions, which governs your use of the Service more broadly.

Hibbly collects only what it needs to run a matching and messaging service and to keep the platform safe. The categories below cover what we gather directly from you and what our systems gather automatically.

• (a) Information you provide. This includes your gender and preference selections from the sign-up quiz, your stated age range, your account email and password, profile photos, bio text, messages you send to other members, and any information you submit through customer support requests.
• (b) Automatically collected technical data. When you visit Hibbly, our servers and analytics tools may log your IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, approximate location derived from IP address, referral URL, and timestamps of your visit.
• (c) Usage and interaction data. We record how you interact with the Service - pages viewed, profiles you like or pass, matches formed, and general session activity - to keep the matching experience relevant and to detect misuse.

Where you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, information that identifies or could reasonably identify you is treated as "personal data" under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the rights described in Section 7 apply to that data.

We use collected data for clearly defined purposes and, where GDPR applies, on a documented legal basis such as your consent, our legitimate interest in running a safe service, or the need to perform our agreement with you.

• Operating, maintaining, and improving the Service, including troubleshooting and performance monitoring.
• Matching and local discovery - using your quiz answers, age range, and activity to surface relevant nearby profiles.
• Security, fraud prevention, and enforcing our Terms & Conditions, including screening for fake or duplicate accounts.
• Sending service communications, such as match notifications, account alerts, and responses to support requests.
• Meeting legal, regulatory, and law-enforcement obligations where required.
• Measuring the performance of marketing campaigns that bring members to Hibbly, generally in aggregated or pseudonymized form.

Where a purpose relies on your consent - for example, certain cookies described below - you may withdraw that consent at any time, consistent with the consent principles set out in GDPR Chapter 2.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to make the Service work, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. Hibbly uses four broad categories of cookies, summarized below.

You can manage or withdraw cookie consent at any time through your browser's cookie and site-data settings, or through the on-site consent control where available. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and it will not affect the lawfulness of any use that took place before you withdrew it.

Hibbly does not sell your personal information for money. We do share limited data with a small set of recipients, each serving a specific operational purpose.

• Service providers who host our infrastructure, process payments where applicable, or provide customer support tooling, under contractual confidentiality obligations.
• Analytics and advertising partners who help us understand site performance and measure marketing campaigns, typically using aggregated or pseudonymized data.
• Legal and regulatory authorities when required to comply with a valid legal process, protect our rights, or investigate suspected fraud or abuse.
• Successors in a corporate transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, where data may transfer as part of the deal subject to this policy's protections.

Some service providers may be located outside your home country, including outside the European Economic Area. Where personal data of EU or EEA visitors is transferred internationally, we rely on the safeguards recognized under the GDPR, such as standard contractual clauses, to keep that data protected.

All traffic to and from Hibbly is protected with SSL/TLS 256-bit encryption, and stored data is encrypted at rest wherever technically appropriate. Access to member data internally is limited to personnel who need it to perform their role, supported by access controls and monitoring.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately using the details in Section 11.

If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, the GDPR gives you a defined set of rights over your personal data. Hibbly honors the following rights for EU and EEA visitors:

• Right of access - request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification - ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") - request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer needed for the purposes it was collected, or where you withdraw consent.
• Right to restriction of processing - ask us to pause certain processing while a dispute is resolved.
• Right to data portability - receive certain data in a structured, commonly used format.
• Right to object - object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.
• Right to withdraw consent - withdraw consent at any time for processing that relies on it, without affecting past lawful processing.

To submit a request, email [email protected], our data protection contact for EU and EEA enquiries. We aim to respond within the timeframe set by the regulation, generally one month from a verified request. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority at any time.

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you specific rights over the personal information we hold about you.

• Right to know - what categories of personal information we collect, use, and disclose, and the sources and purposes involved.
• Right to delete - request deletion of personal information we have collected, subject to certain legal exceptions.
• Right to correct - request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Right to opt out - opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information; Hibbly does not sell personal information for money, and you may still request to limit sharing for cross-context advertising.
• Right to non-discrimination - exercising any of these rights will not result in denial of service or a different price or quality of service.

To submit a verifiable consumer request, email [email protected] from the address associated with your account, or have an authorized agent submit the request on your behalf with appropriate proof of authorization. For a full description of your account and how Hibbly's service works, see our Terms & Conditions.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Once data is no longer needed - for example after account deletion and any applicable legal holding period - it is deleted or anonymized so it can no longer identify you.

Hibbly is strictly for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that an account belongs to a minor, we will remove the account and associated data promptly. If you believe a minor is using Hibbly, contact us using the details in Section 11 so we can investigate. You can review the full member eligibility rules on our homepage and in our Terms & Conditions.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of Hibbly after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy, so we encourage you to review this page periodically.

For any privacy question, data request, or concern about how your information is handled, contact us at [email protected], or reach our EU data protection contact at [email protected]. For questions about your account or the rules governing the Service, see our Terms & Conditions, or return to the Hibbly homepage to learn more about how the Service works.
