This Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices of Filippo Cecchi (“Matchly”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) and how we handle personal information that we collect through our application, website and any other sites or services (collectively, the “Services”).
The basics
Matchly allows users to receive responses to personality quizzes through Instagram. This is how it works:
The Matchly app permits a user (“App User”) to generate a Matchly link and then use the link to solicit messages from anyone with access to the link (the person sending an anonymous message is a “Message Sender”).
When a Message Sender clicks on the Matchly link, they will be taken to a URL where they can send a set of responses directly to the App User. The App User also has the choice to respond the messages.
Matchly may reveal properties of the Message Sender to the App User, based on the Message Sender input. Additionally, Matchly may share this information for compliance, safety, and integrity issues.
To protect the safety of our users, we allow to report abuse.

PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: September 22, 2024
This Privacy Policy describes the privacy practices of Filippo Cecchi (“Matchly”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) and how we handle personal information that we collect through our application, website and any other sites or services (collectively, the “Services”).
The basics
Matchly allows users to receive responses to personality quizzes through Instagram. This is how it works:
The Matchly app permits a user (“App User”) to generate a Matchly link and then use the link to solicit messages from anyone with access to the link (the person sending an anonymous message is a “Message Sender”).
When a Message Sender clicks on the Matchly link, they will be taken to a URL where they can send a set of responses directly to the App User. The App User also has the choice to respond the messages.
Matchly may reveal properties of the Message Sender to the App User, based on the Message Sender input. Additionally, Matchly may share this information for compliance, safety, and integrity issues.
To protect the safety of our users, we allow to report abuse.
Personal information we collect
We collect information about you from a variety of sources, and the type of information we collect depends on how you interact with our Services – such as whether you visit our website, download the Matchly app, or send messages to App Users through the Services.

Automatic data collection. We and our service providers may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interaction over time with our Services, our communications and other online services, such as:

We use the following tools for automatic data collection:
