We built Olive IRL with one goal: help you find your person and delete the app. That goal shapes everything about how we handle your data.
We collect the minimum data needed to run the service. We do not sell your data. We do not use it for advertising. We do not want to keep it longer than necessary.
Faith information is sensitive. We treat it that way.

Your faith tradition and related profile information are considered sensitive personal data under Philippine and international privacy law.
We collect this only because it is the core purpose of Olive IRL. You provide it voluntarily. It is used only to power matching and display your profile to compatible people. It is never shared with advertisers or data companies.
Olive IRL is distributed exclusively through the Apple App Store. Certain interactions are also governed by Apple's privacy practices:
Other services:
None of these providers are permitted to use your data for their own purposes.
We do not use your information for advertising, behavioral tracking, or sale to any third party. Ever.
Olive IRL requests location access to show you people nearby. We store only your approximate city, never your precise GPS coordinates. Your exact location is never shared with other users or third parties. You can disable location access in your device settings at any time.
When you delete your account:
You can delete your account from Settings → Delete Account inside the app.

Olive IRL is for users 18 and older only. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we discover an underage user, we immediately delete their account and all associated data.
We use encrypted data transmission (TLS), row-level database security, and secure token-based authentication. No system is 100% secure, but we take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect your information.
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via the app or email. Continued use of Olive IRL after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
