Privacy policy.

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how SalafiMatch collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you use our mobile application.

3.1 Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly:

• Personal Identifiable Information (PII): Name, email address, mobile number, user ID, gender, date of birth, marital status.
• Profile Data:Height, complexion, highest education, occupation, “About Me” (bio), hobbies & interests, family details, religious background (Aqeedah, Manhaj, etc.), scholars you follow/listen to, and your level of religious practice.
• Sensitive Information (Islamic Context): Your stance on being Muslim by birth or revert, willingness to marry a revert/widow/divorcee, and your stance on polygamy.
• Wali (Guardian) Information (for Female Users): Wali’s full name, relationship to you, and their WhatsApp contact number.
• Partner Preferences: Desired age range, expectations.
• Profile Pictures & Verification Documents.

Information Collected Automatically (Usage Data):

• Interaction Data (views, interests, requests, messages, searches, shortlists).
• Activity Status (last active, online status).
• Technical Data (device info, IP, app version).
• Payment Status (from payment gateways, not full card details).

Information from Third-Party Services:

• Firebase (backend, notifications, analytics).
• Payment Gateways (Dodo Payments, Razorpay).

3.2 How We Use Your Information

To provide and maintain the service, security and verification (including OTP and ID checks), Islamic compliance (Wali notifications), membership/billing, service improvement, communication, and legal compliance.

We do not allow sisters to upload a profile picture. They choose an illustration from a curated library instead. Brothers’ photographs are reviewed by an administrator before they appear.

3.3 How Your Information is Shared

With Other Users:

Public profile info is visible for matchmaking. Contact details are blurred by default and require an eligible Premium contact credit. A sister’s registered mobile number and email are never shown to another member; only her Wali’s name, relationship and contact details may be returned through that flow. Sisters are represented by an illustration rather than a photograph. Brothers’ photographs stay hidden until the brother approves a specific member’s request to see them.

With Your Wali (for Female Users):

Wali’s WhatsApp number receives notifications about conversation initiations.

With Service Providers:

Third-party providers (Firebase, payment gateways) access info only as needed for their functions.

With Administrators:

Admin team access for approval, moderation, verification, and support.

Legal Requirements & Business Transfers.

3.5 Your Data Protection Rights

3.6 Security of Your Information

We use reasonable security measures but cannot guarantee absolute security.
