It turns out that fake dating sites store special personal data without their customers’ permission from research KRO-NCRV program pointer. This includes medical history and data on clients’ sexual preferences, mental health and religion. Also, according to Pointer, nude photos are archived.

On fake dating sites, customers think they can strike up a conversation with possible love. In reality the site is full of fake profiles. On sites visited by Pointer, customers have to pay per message sent.

During chats, customers share their data, which is stored without their consent. For example, these websites violate GDPR privacy legislation and mislead customers, says Pointer.

Fictional character

The research platform has been conducting research for weeks. For example, Pointer spoke to several former employees who wrote chat messages for fake dating sites. Pointer also created a fictional character and conducted conversations on four chat platforms.

Customer data is kept in a register. This way chat operators can easily read chat conversations and know broadly what the customer said to the fake profile.

According to the GDPR privacy legislation, it is not allowed to store or disclose personal data without authorization.
