4. Accessing and Changing Information
You can review and edit your information through our app. However, some information, such as your name, gender, religion, date of birth, father's name, mother's name, and siblings' names, cannot be changed directly. If you need to update any of these, please contact us with the necessary proof to facilitate the correction.
5. Information Security
We implement industry-standard safeguards to protect your information. While no security system is impenetrable, we use encryption to protect sensitive information during transmission and restrict access to personal information to employees who need it for specific job functions.
6. Data Retention Upon Account Deactivation
If you choose to deactivate your account, you can select the "turn off" option. Once deactivated, we will cease sharing your information with others. However, your biodata will be securely stored in our database. This retention is necessary to prevent the creation of fake accounts, ensure data integrity, and comply with potential inquiries from law enforcement agencies.
7. Account Deletion
If you choose to delete your account, all personal information including your biodata, interest requests, and matches, will be permanently deleted. However, certain details such as your login email, mobile number, report data, and some other information will be retained to prevent the creation of fake accounts and protect against fraud.
Additionally, if you delete your account, any active plans or subscriptions will be cancelled and cannot be reinstated. Furthermore, if you later reopen an account using the same email and mobile number, you will no longer be eligible for any free basic services that were initially offered.
To delete your account, please visit this page and follow the instructions provided.
8. Policy Changes
We will notify you of any policy changes via email or app notification. If we intend to use your information in a new way, we will seek your consent before doing so.
