Dating apps are neglecting user privacy by prioritizing AI tool development. Companies like Grindr, Bumble, and Tinder are using personal data for their AI initiatives, often without adequate consent. Users, especially in the LGBTQ+ community, face substantial privacy risks as apps encourage sharing sensitive information. Companies should implement opt-in consent for data used in AI training and minimize data collection practices. Users have a reasonable expectation that their conversations and personal data will remain secure and confidential from misuse or unauthorized sharing.
Dating apps should prioritize user privacy by default and laws must enforce this requirement over corporate profit, yet they often compromise privacy for AI development.
The significant privacy harms stem from dating apps encouraging openness about sensitive personal information while simultaneously collecting vast intimate details about users.
