Raw Dating, a mobile application that advertises secure communications protected by end-to-end encryption, has exposed sensitive user data—including dating preferences and detailed location information—to the public internet.
Security researchers discovered that the app inadvertently left user data accessible without proper access controls. Despite claims of strong privacy measures, including end-to-end encryption, the app leaked personal metrics such as who users were interested in, profile details, and geographically precise location data.
These disclosures raise significant privacy concerns, especially given the intimate nature of the information involved. The data breach could allow outside parties to track users’ movements or deduce private details about their dating habits and personal lives.
The company behind Raw Dating has not yet issued a public statement addressing the vulnerability or the steps it is taking to secure user data.
Security experts urge users of the app to reassess the information they have shared and to be cautious about using platforms that fail to guarantee robust data protection despite marketing claims.
The incident highlights the critical importance of not only encrypting data but also ensuring that proper authentication and access controls are in place to prevent unauthorized exposure of personal information.
