Privacy Policy
Last updated: 7 September 2026
1. Who We Are & Scope of This Policy
PatriotDating ("we", "us", "our") operates the website patriotdating.co.uk.
Data Controller: PatriotDating
Contact: privacy@patriotdating.co.uk
This policy covers only the pre-launch interest-registration waitlist on this page. If you create a full PatriotDating account (a separate sign-up, not carried over from the waitlist), a different privacy policy applies to your account data — see the App Privacy Policy.
2. What Data We Collect
When you register your interest, we collect:
- First name
- Email address
- Age range (e.g. 50–59)
- UK region
- Whether you consented to marketing communications (yes/no)
- Date and time of registration
- Which link or campaign brought you here, if the address you visited included one (for example a tag from one of our social media posts)
We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as political views, religion or health information) as part of this waitlist registration.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use your data solely to:
- Notify you when PatriotDating launches
- Send you early access information and founding member benefits (if you opted in)
- Understand the geographic and demographic interest in the service
- Understand which of our posts and links lead people to register
4. Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data on the basis of consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the UK GDPR). By ticking the required consent checkbox on our registration form, you consent to us contacting you about PatriotDating.
Where you have also opted in to marketing communications, that processing is similarly based on your freely given, specific and informed consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
5. Where We Store Your Data
Your registration data is stored in Google Sheets, a service provided by Google LLC. Google processes data in accordance with Standard Contractual Clauses and is an approved processor under UK GDPR adequacy arrangements. Data may be processed within the European Economic Area.
6. How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain your waitlist registration data for a maximum of 24 months from the date of registration, or until you create a full PatriotDating account (at which point your account data is instead governed by the App Privacy Policy) — whichever comes first. You may request deletion at any time (see section 8).
7. Sharing Your Data
We will never sell your personal data to third parties. We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers or any third party without your explicit consent, except where required by law.
Our only processor is Google LLC (Google Workspace / Sheets), acting under a data processing agreement.
8. Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR you have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Erasure — request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
- Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate data
- Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Withdraw consent — at any time, without affecting prior processing
- Restrict processing — ask us to limit how we use your data
- Object — to processing for marketing purposes
To exercise any right over your waitlist data, email us at privacy@patriotdating.co.uk. We will respond within 30 days. If you have a full PatriotDating account, see the App Privacy Policy instead.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the ICO at ico.org.uk.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the service develops. When we make significant changes we will update the "Last updated" date above. If you have registered your interest, we will email you to notify you of any material changes.
