Effective Date: March 23, 2026

At ShidduchProfile.com ("we," "us," or "our"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform.

1. Information We Collect

• Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and authentication information (via Supabase).
• Profile Information: You voluntarily provide personal information for your profile, including name, date of birth, photos, bio, education, family information, references, and contact details.
• Notification Preferences: If you provide a phone number or select a preferred notification method, we may store your contact details and notification preferences, including email and WhatsApp preferences. If you opt in to SMS/text notifications, we also store your SMS consent choice and related consent record.
• Usage Data: We may collect information about how you interact with our platform, including pages visited and features used.
• Device Information: We may collect information about your device, browser, and IP address for security and functionality purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To authenticate your account and provide secure access to your profile
• To send you important account, profile, and matching-related updates by email or, if you choose, by WhatsApp or SMS/text
• To send transactional SMS/text notifications only after you explicitly opt in through your account settings
• To improve our platform, troubleshoot issues, and ensure security
• To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

3. How We Share Your Information

Public Profile Sharing: Your profile is accessible to anyone who has your unique profile link. While we take steps to prevent search engine indexing (using noindex, nofollow meta tags), anyone with your link can view your profile. You control who receives your profile link.

Service Providers: We use third-party services to operate our platform:

• Supabase: For authentication, database storage, and file storage
• Google reCAPTCHA: To verify human users on public profile pages
• Resend: For sending email communications
• Twilio: For sending WhatsApp and SMS/text notifications
• Stripe: For processing premium subscription payments (if applicable)

Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.

SMS/Text Privacy: If you opt in to SMS/text notifications, we use your phone number and consent record only to send transactional account and match-related updates. We do not sell or share mobile opt-in data with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing purposes.

4. Data Security

We implement security measures to protect your information, including:

• Row-Level Security (RLS) policies in our database to restrict access to your data
• Secure authentication via Supabase
• HTTPS encryption for all data transmission
• Regular security updates and monitoring

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Your Rights and Choices

• Access: You can view and edit your profile information at any time through your account settings
• Deletion: You can delete your account and all associated data at any time through the account deletion feature
• Profile Control: You can update, deactivate, or regenerate your profile link at any time
• Contact Information: You control what contact information is displayed on your profile
• Notification Choices: You can update your preferred notification channel or remove your phone number in your account settings, which may limit our ability to send WhatsApp or SMS/text notifications
• SMS Opt-Out: You can opt out of SMS/text notifications at any time by replying STOP or by updating your notification settings

6. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information, subject to any legal retention requirements.

7. Children's Privacy

Our platform is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 18, please contact us immediately.

8. Third-Party Links

Your profile may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. Your continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Your Responsibility

Important: You are solely responsible for who you share your profile link with. Once you share your link, others may view, copy, screenshot, or forward your profile information. We cannot control how others use your information once it has been shared. Please share your profile link only with trusted individuals.
