GLIMMER PRIVACY POLICY – BILL OF RIGHTS 2026
Glimmer (“Glimmer,” “we,” and “us”) respects the privacy of its users (“you”) and has
developed this Privacy Policy to show its commitment to protecting your privacy. This
Privacy Policy describes the information we collect, how that information may be used, with
whom it may be shared, and your choices about such uses and disclosures. We encourage
you to read this Privacy Policy carefully before using our application or services or
transacting business with us. By using our website or application (our “Service”), you are
accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions about our privacy practices, please refer to the end of this
Privacy Policy for information on how to contact us.
Information we collect about you
In General. We may collect information that can identify you such as your name and email
address (“personal information”) and other information that does not identify you. We may
collect this information through a website or a mobile application. By using the Service, you
are authorizing us to gather, analyze and retain data related to the provision of the Service.
When you provide personal information through our Service, the information may be sent
to servers located in the United States and countries around the world.
In order to register as a user with Glimmer, you will be asked to sign in using your
Facebook login. If you do so, you authorize us to access certain Facebook account
information, such as your public Facebook profile (consistent with your privacy settings
in Facebook), your email address, interests, likes, gender, birthday, education history,
relationship interests, current city, photos, personal description, friend list, and
information about and photos of your Facebook friends who might be common
Facebook friends with other Glimmer users. You will also be asked to allow Glimmer to
collect your location information from your device when you download or use the
Service. In addition, we may collect and store any personal information you provide
while using our Service or in some other manner. This may include identifying
information, such as your name, address, email address and telephone number, and, if
you transact business with us, financial information. You may also provide us photos, a
personal description and information about your gender and preferences for
recommendations, such as search distance, age range and gender. If you chat with
other Glimmer users, you provide us the content of your chats, and if you contact us
with a customer service or other inquiry, you provide us with the content of that
communication.
We use various technologies to collect information from your device and about your
activities on our Service.
We automatically collect information from your browser or device when you visit our
Service. This information could include your IP address, device ID and type, your
browser type and language, the operating system used by your device, access times,
your mobile device’s geographic location while our application is actively running, and
the referring website address.
Cookies and Use of Cookie Data. When you visit our Service, we may assign your
device one or more cookies to facilitate access to our Service and to personalize your
experience. Through the use of a cookie, we also may automatically collect information
about your activity on our Service, such as the pages you visit, the time and date of
your visits and the links you click. We or other advertisers may use certain data
collected on our Service to show you Glimmer advertisements on other sites or
applications.
Pixel tags. We embed pixel tags (also called web beacons or clear GIFs) on web pages,
ads, and emails. These tiny, invisible graphics are used to access cookies and track
user activities (such as how many times a page is viewed). We use pixel tags to
measure the popularity of our features and services. Ad companies also use pixel tags
to measure the number of ads displayed and their performance (such as how many
people clicked on an ad).
Mobile Device IDs: If you’re using our app, we use mobile device IDs (the unique
identifier assigned to a device by the manufacturer), or Advertising IDs (for iOS 6 and
later), instead of cookies, to recognize you. We do this to store your preferences and
track your use of our app. Unlike cookies, device IDs cannot be deleted, but Advertising
IDs can be reset in “Settings” on your iPhone or Android. Ad companies also use device
IDs or Advertising IDs to track your use of the app, track the number of ads displayed,
measure ad performance and display ads that are more relevant to you. Analytics
companies use device IDs to track information about app usage.
We may allow service providers, advertising companies and ad networks, and other
third parties to display advertisements on our Service. These companies may use
tracking technologies, such as cookies or web beacons, to collect information about
users who view or interact with their advertisements. We do not provide any non-
anonymized personal information to third parties. Some of these third-party
advertising companies may be advertising networks that are members of the Network
Advertising Initiative, which offers a single location to opt out of ad targeting from
member companies (www.networkadvertising.org). Opting out will not decrease the
number of advertisements you see.
How we use the information we collect
In general, we may use information that we collect about you to:
Deliver and improve our products and services, and manage our business;
Manage your account and provide you with customer support;
Perform research and analysis about your use of, or interest in, our or others’ products,
services, or content;
Communicate with you by email, postal mail, telephone and/or mobile devices about
products or services that may be of interest to you either from us or other third parties;
Develop, display, and track content and advertising tailored to your interests on our
Service and other sites, including providing our advertisements to you when you visit
other sites;
Website or mobile application analytics;
Verify your eligibility and deliver prizes in connection with contests and sweepstakes;
Enforce or exercise any rights in our Terms of Use; and
Perform functions or services as otherwise described to you at the time of collection.
Job applicants. If your personal information is submitted through our website when
applying for a position with our company, the information will be used solely in connection
with considering and acting upon your application. We may retain your personal
information, but only for the purpose of considering your application for current or future
available positions. This information, which may include your name and contact
information, prior education and experience, and other information you provide to us, may
be shared with third-party service providers retained by us to collect, maintain and analyze
candidate submissions for job postings.
In all circumstances, we may perform these functions directly or use a third party vendor to
perform these functions on our behalf who will be obligated to use your personal
information only to perform services for us. Also, if you access our Service from a third
party social platform, such as Facebook, we may share non-personal information with that
platform to the extent permitted by your agreement with it and its privacy settings.
With whom we share your information
Information Shared with Other Users. When you register as a user of Glimmer, your
Glimmer profile will be viewable by other users of the Service. Other users will be able to
view information you have provided to us directly or through Facebook, such as your
Facebook photos, any additional photos you upload, your first name, your age,
approximate number of miles away, your personal description, and information you have in
common with the person viewing your profile, such as common Facebook friends and likes.
If you swipe right to say “yes” to a person, you will be able to chat with that person if they
swipe right to you, e.g., when you have a “match.” If you chat with your match, of course
your match will see the content of your chat.
Personal information. We do not share your personal information with others except as
indicated in this Privacy Policy or when we inform you and give you an opportunity to opt
out of having your personal information shared. We may share personal information with:
Service providers: We may share information, including personal and financial
information, with third parties that perform certain services on our behalf. These
services may include fulfilling orders, providing customer service and marketing
assistance, performing business and sales analysis, ad tracking and analytics, member
screenings, supporting our Service functionality, and supporting contests, sweepstakes,
surveys and other features offered through our Service. These service providers may
have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but are not
permitted to share or use such information for any other purposes.
Other Situations. We may disclose your information, including personal information:
In response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a
request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to
establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as
otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal
objection or right available to us.
When we believe disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate,
prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other
wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property or safety of our company,
our users, our employees, or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate
with law enforcement; or to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements or
policies.
In connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of our
business, a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event
of bankruptcy.
Aggregated and/or non-personal information. We may use and share non-
personal information we collect under any of the above circumstances. We may also share
it with other third parties to develop and deliver targeted advertising on our Service and on
websites or applications of third parties, and to analyze and report on advertising you see.
We may combine non-personal information we collect with additional non-
personal information collected from other sources. We also may share aggregated, non-
personal information, or personal information in hashed, non-human readable form, with
third parties, including advisors, advertisers and investors, for the purpose of conducting
general business analysis or other business purposes. For example, we may engage a data
provider who may collect web log data from you (including IP address and information
about your browser or operating system), or place or recognize a unique cookie on your
browser to enable you to receive customized ads or content. The cookies may reflect de-
identified demographic or other data linked to data you voluntarily have submitted to us
(such as your email address), that we may share with a data provider solely in hashed, non-
human readable form. To opt-out of cookies that may be set by third party data or
advertising partners, please go to http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.
Do Not Track Disclosure
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. DNT
is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information
about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We
are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information we collect
and that is why we provide the opt-out links above. However, we do not recognize or
respond to any DNT signals, as the Internet industry works toward defining exactly what
DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to
DNT.
Third Party Websites
There are a number of places on our Service where you may click on a link to access other
websites that do not operate under this Privacy Policy. For example, if you click on an
advertisement on our Service, you may be taken to a website that we do not control. These
third- party websites may independently solicit and collect information, including personal
information, from you and, in some instances, provide us with information about your
activities on those websites. We recommend that you consult the privacy statements of
all third-party websites you visit by clicking on the “privacy” link typically located at the
bottom of the webpage you are visiting.
How you can access your information
If you have a Glimmer account, you have the ability to review and update your personal
information within the Service by opening your account and going to settings. More
information about how to contact us is provided below. You also may close your account at
any time by visiting the “Settings” page for your account. If you close your account, we will
retain certain information associated with your account for analytical purposes and
recordkeeping integrity, as well as to prevent fraud, enforce our Terms of Use, take actions
we deem necessary to protect the integrity of our Service or our users, or take other actions
otherwise permitted by law. In addition, if certain information has already been provided to
third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, retention of that information will be subject
to those third parties policies.
Your choices about collection and use of your information
You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but that may result in you
being unable to use certain features of our Service because such information may be
required in order for you to register as user; purchase products or services; participate
in a contest, promotion, survey, or sweepstakes; ask a question; or initiate other
transactions.
Our Service may also deliver notifications to your phone or mobile device. You can
disable these notifications by going into “App Settings” on the app or by changing the
settings on your mobile device.
You can also control information collected by cookies. You can delete or decline
cookies by changing your browser settings. Click “help” in the toolbar of most browsers
for instructions.
How we protect your personal information
We take security measures to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorized
access and disclosure. However, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although
we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect,
that your personal information, chats, or other communications will always remain secure.
Users should also take care with how they handle and disclose their personal information
and should avoid sending personal information through insecure email. Please refer to the
Federal Trade Commissions website
at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/menus/consumer/data.shtm for information about how to
protect yourself against identity theft.
Information you provide about yourself while using our Service
We provide areas on our Service where you can post information about yourself and others
and communicate with others. Such postings are governed by our Terms of Use. Also,
whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly-viewable pages, that
information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by others. For example,
if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages. We cannot control
who reads your posting or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily
post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your personal
information.
Children’s privacy
Although our Service is a general audience Service, we restrict the use of our service to
individuals age 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal
information from children under the age of 18.
Visiting our Service from outside the United States
If you are visiting our Service from outside the United States, please be aware that your
information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our
servers are located and our central database is operated. By using our services, you
understand and agree that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those
third parties with whom we share it as described in this privacy policy.
No Rights of Third Parties
This Privacy Policy does not create rights enforceable by third parties or require disclosure
of any personal information relating to users of the website.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We will occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we post changes to this Privacy Policy,
we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy. We recommend that
you check our Service from time to time to inform yourself of any changes in this Privacy
Policy or any of our other policies.
