Like other apps, Mingle2 collects personal information about users and openly admits, “We share the information we collect with third-party business partners who commit to comply with applicable laws concerning their usage of the information[3]”. They claim to never discloses user data to third parties or other suspicious organizations.

On the site, users may block others they do not wish to interact. In the settings area, users have the ability to limit who can send them mail, turn off instant messaging, browse invisibly, or deactivate their accounts.

The owner of Mingle2 is Next LLC, which owns a massive network of dating websites and mobile applications. That is why when a new member provides their personal information to Mingle2, they share it with the whole network. However, it is a reliable network that protects the privacy of the clients. The reason for this is to enhance the opportunity for profile viewing, members of other dating apps in their network will be able to view each other profiles and photos.
