Dating platform LOVOO deactivates the accounts of underage users
The dating platform, or rather the dating app LOVOO, has now deactivated accounts that were registered and used by underage users. According to the company, the reason for this is that they have to orientate themselves and adhere to the new rules.
All underage accounts will be deactivated by October 22, 2019, and can be reactivated on the user's 18th birthday, so that the user can use the platform regularly again. If the user does not reach the age of majority by the specified period, the account will be deleted. The company also explains that you can get a refund for the in-app or general purchases on this platform.
In addition, underage users have the right to request information and deletion of the account in accordance with the GDPR.
