What about my Privacy?

Profiles are only visible to signed-up members. You’re encouraged to upload a face photo, but it’s not required. Prefer more discretion? You can upload photos to a private album, visible only to those you invite. You can hide your profile at any time, and Premium users can choose to appear only to other Premium members.

At Tingler, your privacy is non-negotiable. We never share your data with third parties. All traffic is secured with HTTPS encryption, and all personal data is encrypted at rest. We will never share your information with 3rd party companies. You can read our full Privacy Policy here.
