Kamaʻāina Date (808singles.com) Last updated: October 12, 2026
This policy explains how RyPul Media ("we," "us") collects, uses and shares information when you use 808singles.com and the Kamaʻāina Date web app (the "Service").
You give us: - Account details: email address, password (stored hashed by our authentication provider) and date of birth. We use your date of birth to confirm you are 18 or older and store only your age on your profile. - Profile details: first name, age, gender, who you want to see, the island you're on, town, bio, interests, up to 3 prompt answers, and the optional "I'm here as" and "Looking for" fields. - Optional basics, only if you choose to add them: height, kids (have / want), drinking, smoking, pronouns, languages, ethnicity, and local favorites (favorite beach and plate-lunch spot). You can leave any of these blank or remove them at any time. - Privacy settings you choose, such as showing your ethnicity or hiding your age and island until you match. - Up to 6 photos you upload. We re-encode photos in your browser before upload, which removes EXIF metadata, including GPS location. - Messages you send to matches, and your likes (Alohas), passes, matches, blocks and reports. - Messages you send us by email. - If you choose to get photo verified: a live selfie and a temporary face measurement (see "Photo verification and biometric information" below).
Collected automatically: - Usage and device information through Google Analytics (measurement ID G-TY28ENHB13) and the Metricool tracker on public pages: pages viewed, referrer, approximate location derived from IP, browser and device type. - Sign-in session data stored in your browser's local storage so you stay logged in.
From payment processing: - If you subscribe, Stripe processes your payment. We receive your subscription status and plan, and a customer ID. We do not receive or store your full card number.
We do not collect your precise location. We show only the island you choose, never your distance or exact location, and we do not show when you were last online.
Photo verification is optional and free. You can browse, send Alohas and message your matches without it. If you choose to verify, you first agree to a one-time face check in the app. You then take a live selfie copying a random pose. Our server creates a temporary face measurement (face geometry) from the selfie and from your approved profile photos, compares them, and shows a "Photo verified" badge if they match. The check uses open-source software on our own hosting (Netlify); your face data is not sent to any third-party face-recognition company.
Ethnicity is optional and private by default: only you (and our team, for safety and support) can see it unless you turn on "Show my ethnicity on my profile." It is never used for search, Discover filters or matching. Members can't see your email address, date of birth, account ID or private settings.
New photos are checked automatically with open-source software (for nudity, whether the first photo shows a face, and whether a photo is already used by another member). Photos the check flags are reviewed by our team before they appear. To protect members, profiles may not include phone numbers, email addresses, links or social media handles.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We use browser local storage to keep you signed in. Google Analytics and Metricool use cookies or similar technologies to measure site usage. We do not use advertising cookies.
The Service is only for people 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a user is under 18, we remove the account immediately and block that email from signing up again. We keep only a minimal record of the removal, and any material we are legally required to preserve or report, as the law requires. Please report suspected underage users through the app or at kamadate@proton.me.
Data is sent over HTTPS. Database access is restricted by row-level security, so members can change only their own data. Payment data is handled by Stripe. No system is perfectly secure. Please use a strong, unique password and tell us right away if you suspect unauthorized access.
Our service providers may process data in the United States and other countries where they operate.
We may update this policy. If the changes are material, we will notify you by email or in the app before they take effect.
