How dating apps exploit India’s loosely formed definition of ‘personal information’

W hen Judith Duportail, a freelance journalist, broke up with her boyfriend, she downloaded Tinder, the dating app. She began getting addicted to the app and in the course of using it, being a journalist, she became curious about how the app was helping her find matches. IO, which aims to ensure data protection rights — she sent an email to Tinder asking it to show all the data it had on her. Soon, she was surprised when she received pages of information — about her Facebook likes, links to her old Instagram pictures, ranking of the age group of men she was interested in, the number of friends she had on Facebook and where she had carried out each and every online conversation with her matches. To put it simply, the application ranks every profile to assess who is a better match for someone. This system is capable of classifying users in relation to their intelligence, preferences, wealth, ethnicity, and attractiveness. However, according to Duportail, the story is quite different, pointing out that Tinder collects information that is far more than what we ordinarily expect while using an app.
