Privacy Policy

When you create an account, we collect personal information including your name, email address, gender, date of birth, religion, education, occupation, city, state, and other profile details you choose to share. If you become an event organizer, we collect your organization name and bio.

When you purchase a subscription or register for a paid event, payment is processed through Stripe. We do not store your credit card number, CVV, or other payment card details on our servers. Stripe handles all payment data in compliance with PCI-DSS standards.

We automatically collect certain information when you visit our platform, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and timestamps. We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience and analyze usage patterns.

When you upload profile photos or event images, we store and process these files on our servers. We do not use your photos for any purpose other than displaying them on your profile or associated event pages.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:


• •Account Management: To create, maintain, and secure your account.
• •Matchmaking: To display your profile to other users and facilitate connections based on preferences, religion, location, and other criteria.
• •Communication: To send you notifications about interests received, matches, event registrations, and important account updates.
• •Payment Processing: To process subscription payments and event registration fees through our payment partner, Stripe.
• •Platform Improvement: To analyze usage patterns, fix bugs, and improve our features and user experience.
• •Safety & Moderation: To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and violations of our Community Guidelines.
• •Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes.

Your profile information (name, age, religion, location, education, occupation, photos, and other details you provide) is visible to other registered and subscribed users of the platform. You control what information you include in your profile.

We share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our platform, including Stripe (payment processing), hosting providers (data storage), and email services (notifications). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Your data is never shared with advertisers or data brokers.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including encryption of data in transit (HTTPS/TLS), secure password hashing (bcrypt), access controls limiting who can view your data, and regular security reviews. While no system is 100% secure, we are committed to protecting your information to the best of our ability.

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data from our active systems within 30 days. Some data may be retained in backups for up to 90 days. We may retain anonymized, aggregated data for analytics purposes indefinitely.

You have the following rights regarding your personal information:


• •Access: You can view and download your profile data at any time through your account settings.
• •Correction: You can update most profile information directly. For sensitive fields (name, date of birth), submit a Change Request with ID verification.
