2.1 Creating an account and a profile on the Online Platform is free for the Users. A User can accept up to five connections and communicate with them in the communication application for free. A User must sign up for a plan with a monthly fee, determined by the price list of MeetnFly, to accept more connections. In the case of paid services, a payment obligation arises for the User when signing up for the paid Service. A User must pay for the Service in full for the first month and MeetnFly will not return any fees to the User even if the User ceases to fully or partially use the Service. MeetnFly subscription can be cancelled at any time. After cancellation of the subscription, the User can use MeetnFly until the end of the last billing cycle. When signing up for a plan, the subscription is automatically extended every subsequent month and a User must cancel their MeetnFy subscription under ‘Billing’.

After initial registration, a User cannot change their first name or age.

3.6. MeetnFly can suspend the use of a User Account partially or fully at any time and delete a User Account if the information connected to the user account is untrue or the User uses the User Account in a way that is irreconcilable with the Terms of Use or violates the rights of third parties or MeetnFly, including if the User Account is used in the interests of third parties.

4. Principles of processing Users’ personal data

4.1. MeetnFly collects and processes the Personal Data disclosed by the User by providing services to the User and allowing the User to use the Online Platform, thus MeetnFly is considered a responsible processor of Personal Data in the definition of data protection legal acts. The data collected and processed by MeetnFly include a User’s first name, date of birth, e-mail address, place of residence and other information related to finding a suitable partner by the User. When creating a profile, a User can add a photo or photos of themselves and include additional information about their lifestyle. MeetnFly processes Personal Data to find a suitable partner for a User. If a User signs up for the paid functions, such as signing up for a paid service, or purchases services directly from MeetnFly, the User shares information, e.g. the number of their debit or credit card or other financial information, with MeetnFly or MeetnFly’s payment service provider.

4.2. MeetnFly processes Personal Data in accordance with the principles of data protection recognised in Europe (primarily legality, fairness, transparency, purposefulness, minimality) and always follows the interests, rights and freedoms of the User when processing Personal Data.

4.3. A User has a right to publish their profile (the first part of their filled in profile) on the Online Platform, and the Personal Data published there will be made accessible to other users in accordance with the selection criteria selected by the User.

4.4. If a User has begun to fill in their profile and entered their Personal Data in the database but has not completed filling in the profile (all mandatory fields are not filled), the User cannot save their profile and the Personal Data will neither be visible nor transmitted to other Users.

4.5. If a User has filled in a profile and saved it in the database of MeetnFly, MeetnFly has the right to request additional information from the User in the event that the profile is filled in inaccurately (for example, the user has not added a picture of themselves or has only provided brief answers to the profile questions). Until clarification of these inaccuracies, MeetnFly is not obliged to activate the User’s profile. MeetnFly does this to offer users the opportunity to meet only users with complete profiles.

4.6. Third parties, i.e. data processors, need to process Personal Data in some circumstances. Data processors process Personal Data for MeetnFly only if it is necessary for the purposes of processing and on the condition that they ensure the level of protection of Personal Data required by legal acts. MeetnFly uses predominantly the following data processors for processing Personal Data (listed by category):

(I) IT service providers who help to retain, organise and process the Data of MeetnFly and ensure the operation and development of the Online Platform, including but not limited to cloud providers and software developers.

(II) E-mail forwarding providers who help to transmit newsletters and offers to the Users.

4.7 MeetnFly also processes Personal Data for statistical purposes, including analysing Users’ profiles to study the trends of the dating platform and improve the Services offered to the User. MeetnFly may work with research institutions (including universities, researchers) to improve the Online Platform for Users. In this case, MeetnFly processes Personal Data on the basis of justified interest, primarily meaning the balance between the interests of MeetnFly and the rights of the User. MeetnFly cannot provide the best and most modern Online Platform and Services without conducting statistical and market analyses. The impact of this type of processing on the rights of the User is minimal because the results of the processing are anonymous.

4.8 A User can contact MeetnFly at any time and request the amendment of their Personal Data. MeetnFly retains the Personal Data of a User until the data is necessary for justified business purposes and is in accordance with the relevant law. If a User decides to close their MeetnFly account, the profile of the User will no longer be visible to other users. If a User Account has been inactive for two years, the User Account will be automatically closed and the data deleted. After the deletion of an account, we will delete the Personal Data of a User as follows:

A security period is valid for three months after the deletion of an account and one year after the blocking of an account to protect the safety of other users and, if necessary, cooperate with legal bodies. We retain the data of a User if necessary for investigations of illegal or harmful activity. The retention of the data during this period is based on our justified interest and that of possible third party victims.

After the end of the security period, MeetnFly deletes the data of a User and retains only limited data for the purposes determined as follows:

(I) MeetnFly retains limited data to fulfil its obligations for the retention of data established by law – primarily transaction data for seven years to fulfil the legal tax and accounting requirements.

(II) MeetnFly retains customer service data for five years and profile data for one year to prevent possible litigations and prevent the re-opening of accounts by blocked individuals if this is necessary for guaranteeing the safety and interests of other users.

4.9 When agreeing to the Terms of Use, a User gives their consent to MeetnFly to the use of cookies on the Online Platform with the purpose of personalising the Service and helping provide a better Service to the User.

4.10 A User can delete their account by clicking on ‘settings’ in the right upper corner and then the red button at the bottom of the page. If a User has requested to delete their personal data via e-mail (meetnfly@meetnfly.com), the data will be deleted within one week of the submission of the request. However, a User should note that MeetnFly retains some data after the submission of the request in some circumstances, e.g. a security period applies if the User had an active profile (see clause 4.8).
