Its full name is Tea Dating Advice, and the central idea is a women-only app that gives those who are dating the ability to access background checks on men. This includes whether they have a criminal record (or if they're sex offenders), as well as reverse image searching to identify catfishing (assuming a false identity online).

The exposed data came from an old system that stored information over two years old and no recent data is affected.

Tea, a dating safety app which allows women to anonymously give men red or green "flags," says it had more than 70,000 photos stolen in a data breach.
