Dodees - An Emotional Intelligence Platform

Effective Date: June 2, 2026
Last Updated: October 12, 2026

This policy explains how Dodees Affairs handles information across the Dodees app, website, support channels, discovery, conversations, Signal, Reveal, gifts, payments, and optional AI assistance.

1. Who Is Responsible

Dodees Affairs
5, Central District, Lagos, Nigeria
Email: [email protected]
Phone: +234 818 771 5302

Contact us about privacy, access, correction, or deletion. We may need to verify ownership of the account before acting on a request.

2. Information You Provide

Depending on the features you use, you may provide your name, email, phone number, date of birth, gender, preferences, interests, profile details, photos, videos, captions, messages, voice notes, reports, and support correspondence. Eligible withdrawal requests may require payout details.

Provide only information you are comfortable sharing. Never send us a password, one-time verification code, or full payment-card credentials in a support message.

3. Account and Service Information

We process account identifiers, supported sign-in information, device and app information, notification tokens, interaction records, technical logs, moderation results, payment references, and transaction status to operate the service and protect accounts.

Login, cloud, map, media, AI, app-store, and payment providers may process information needed for their part of the service under their own policies.

4. Why We Use Information

We use information to:

create and manage accounts;
provide discovery, profiles, Reels, Reveal, Signal, invitations, and conversations;
process supported purchases, gifts, earnings, and withdrawals;
deliver notifications and respect your preferences;
review content, investigate reports, and prevent misuse;
offer optional, labeled AI assistance;
maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the service;
answer support and privacy requests;
meet applicable legal obligations.

We rely on the legal grounds applicable to the particular processing, including providing the service you request, consent where required, lawful legitimate interests, and legal obligations. Where consent is required, you can withdraw it through available controls or by contacting us. Withdrawing consent does not invalidate earlier lawful processing.

5. Location, Discovery, and Signal

Location permissions support nearby discovery where enabled. You can control device permissions; declining them may limit location-dependent features.

Signal is an optional, temporary moment in a chosen approximate area. Its area index uses broad geographic zones, not a per-person live GPS pin. Public-place suggestions identify possible meeting ideas, not another person's current position. Approximate distance bands refer to chosen areas.

Your visible Signal profile and moment can be shown to eligible users while active. Shared-interest alerts require both people to opt in. You can stop a moment early. Saved moments and old notifications do not extend access after a moment ends.

Read the separate Signal Privacy and Terms for more detail.

6. Photos, Videos, and Review

Profile photos, public media, submitted voice or video content, and selected verification submissions may be processed for content review, face visibility or consistency signals, and community protection. These signals do not guarantee identity, honesty, intentions, or safety.

Choose media you have the right to use. Avoid revealing addresses, identity documents, or other sensitive information in public content. Private feature content and media you send to someone can still be viewed or saved by that recipient.

7. Conversations and AI Assistance

Messages, Buzz, gifts, voice notes, and shared media are processed to deliver the interaction and support account, moderation, and safety workflows. Do not assume that another person cannot save a message or screenshot content.

AI-assisted features may process the relevant profile information, preferences, prompts, and conversation context supplied to that feature. Assistance is separate from the real person and may be inaccurate. Optional AI avatars and their supported display choices remain separate from identity verification. Read the AI Features Notice before using assistance.

8. Payments and Financial Records

We process transaction references, purchase confirmations, amounts, eligible balances, payout details where needed, and dispute records. Payment providers process their own payment information. Never submit full card details through our contact page or email.

Diamonds, wallet earnings, gift holds, refunds, and withdrawals are distinct records. Some financial and fraud-prevention records may need to remain after account deletion.

9. Visibility and Sharing

Other users may see the profile details and public media you make visible, general location information, interactions appropriate to the feature, and content you send them.

We share information with service providers needed to operate Dodees, and where necessary for payment support, legal obligations, fraud prevention, safety investigations, or a lawful business transition. We do not sell your private messages to other users.

10. Website Storage

The website uses a session cookie where needed by its framework. Its homepage may remember an image and entrance effect in browser session storage so the next visit has a different opening. This preference is not a profile, location record, or advertising identifier.

You can clear browser storage or adjust cookie controls. Embedded third-party services, if introduced, may have their own notices and choices. This website does not accept account passwords or collect contact messages through a submission endpoint; the contact draft opens your own email application.

11. Retention and Account Deletion

Information is kept for the purposes described above, with retention depending on its category, the feature, applicable law, and legitimate safety or financial needs.

The current app schedules account deletion with a 60-day grace period and stops showing the pending account in discovery. You can cancel through Keep my account before the scheduled deadline. Eligible account data is then processed for deletion; some records may remain for lawful accounting, payment disputes, safety, fraud prevention, other users' interactions, or backups.

Deleting an account does not necessarily remove a message another person already received, cancel a financial obligation, or instantly erase every backup. Read Account Deletion and Data Requests for the request process.

12. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correction, deletion, a copy of your data, objection, restriction, withdrawal of consent, or review of a decision. Contact [email protected]. We respond within applicable legal periods, subject to appropriate identity checks and lawful exceptions.

You can also control supported visibility, Signal, notification, device-permission, blocking, and reporting choices. You may raise a concern with the relevant data protection authority. In Nigeria, this is the Nigeria Data Protection Commission: https://ndpc.gov.ng.

13. Adults, Security, and International Processing

Dodees is for people aged 18 and over. Report an account you believe belongs to a minor.

We use measures intended to protect information, but no internet service is completely secure. Protect your device and credentials. Service providers may process data in countries outside your own; applicable transfer requirements and protections remain relevant.

14. Policy Changes and Contact

The effective date records when this policy first applied. The revision date changes when its text changes. Material changes may require notice or renewed consent where applicable; this notice does not waive your statutory rights.
