Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) outlines the rules for using TheLoverWhirl.com (the “Site,” “we,” or “us”). It explains the types of personal information we may collect, why and how we process it, how it is stored and protected, the parties with whom it may be shared, and the options you have regarding its collection and use.

This Policy applies solely to TheLoverWhirl.com and our own data-handling practices. It does not cover third-party websites that may be linked from our pages, as such external sites maintain their own privacy policies describing how they manage personal information.

We value your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal data. By using or continuing to browse the Site, you acknowledge and accept the practices described in this Policy.

In accordance with applicable data protection regulations, TheLoverWhirl.com acts as the “data controller,” meaning we determine the purposes and methods for processing personal information collected via the Site.

Please note: TheLoverWhirl.com is an independent, third-party informational website providing reviews, insights, and news about online dating platforms. We are not affiliated with, owned by, or officially connected to any dating service or platform, including those with similar names. All content on the Site is provided for informational purposes only.
