Hosted in Paris. Your data stays in the EU.
RAWR runs on servers in Paris (France), so EU data-protection law applies to your data, not a far-away jurisdiction.
Servers in Paris, France
We operate at Scaleway in Paris, inside the EU. The GDPR and the EU Digital Services Act apply to us directly, a clear legal framework, an EU supervisory authority, and a straightforward path for complaints and legal remedies.
Where the other apps are based
Not every dating app can say that. A look at where major gay dating services have their headquarters:
- ·Grindr, West Hollywood, California, USA
- ·Hornet, USA
- ·Scruff (Perry Street Software), USA
- ·ROMEO, Amsterdam, Netherlands (EU)
- ·machoBB, Buddyble SAS, Bogotá, Colombia
Why that can matter
A US-based provider can be obliged under the US CLOUD Act to hand over user data to US authorities, even when the servers sit in Europe. For a user in the EU, that can potentially mean that US law may apply to their data and that seeking legal recourse can be more difficult. We keep your data in France, under EU law.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you'd want to know before you join.
Is RAWR free?
Yes. The grid, chats, and core features are completely free. Pro and Plus unlock more profiles nearby, advanced filters, unlimited chats, and other extras.
How does age verification work?
At sign-up you take a quick live selfie that's automatically checked against your stated age. The image is never shown on your profile, it's used only for that check.
What is RIGHT NOW?
A time-limited status that tells others you're available right now, great for spontaneous meetups. You choose how long it stays visible and can end it anytime.
Who can see my location?
Only your approximate distance from other users, never your exact location. You can also turn on ~1km fuzzing in settings for extra discretion.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes, with one tap right in the app, no email, no phone call. Your access continues through the end of the period you already paid for.
What are business profiles?
A separate, clearly labeled category for professional providers, so everyone knows what they're engaging with, kept apart from personal dating profiles.
How do you handle problematic content?
Every profile and message can be reported. Our team reviews reports promptly, and automated detection also flags clearly illegal content.
Can I have my data deleted?
Yes, anytime, from Settings → Delete account, full and irreversible deletion, in line with GDPR.
