Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy & Data Protection Covenant
Effective Date: January 01, 2026
## 1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Azwaaj.com operates as a global sanctuary for marriage-minded individuals. We recognize that the information you share with us—ranging from your personal history to your spiritual aspirations—is deeply private. This policy governs how we handle that data across every jurisdiction we serve, ensuring that your journey toward companionship remains dignified and secure.
## 2. The Data We Collect and Why
To facilitate authentic matches, we require specific categories of information:
* Direct Identity: Your legal name, contact credentials, and verified age are used to establish a baseline of trust.
* Compatibility Profiles: We collect details regarding your education, profession, and marital history to help our community find their intellectual and social equals.
* Spiritual and Cultural Nuances: Information on faith, sect, and personal values is collected to satisfy the psychological and spiritual requirements of a lifelong union.
* Verification Assets: Copies of official identification documents are requested during our manual vetting process. These assets are encrypted and restricted to our internal verification team.
## 3. Lawful Processing and Consent
By creating an account, you grant us the mandate to process your data for the sole purpose of matchmaking. We operate under the legal framework of Contractual Necessity and Explicit Consent. You retain the right to withdraw this consent at any moment by closing your account, at which point we cease all processing of your active profile.
## 4. Manual Human Vetting
Unlike automated dating apps, Azwaaj.com employs human moderators to review every registration. We use your data to filter out insincere actors, ensuring that the community remains a safe space for those with serious matrimonial intent.
## 5. Information Sharing and Visibility
* User-to-User: Your profile data is visible to other registered members to facilitate introductions. You have full autonomy over who can view your private photographs through your account dashboard.
* Operational Partners: We share limited technical data with our infrastructure providers (such as HostFast and Cloudflare) only to the extent necessary to keep the site online and shielded from attacks.
* Zero Commercial Sharing: We do not trade, sell, or lease your personal information to marketing agencies or third-party data brokers.
## 6. Global Data Sovereignty (GDPR & CCPA)
We respect the privacy laws of all nations. Regardless of your location, you have the right to request a complete export of your personal data, correct any inaccuracies in your profile, or request the permanent deletion of your records from our systems.
## 7. Security Protocols and Encryption
We utilize industry-standard TLS encryption for all data transmissions. Our internal database architecture is designed to prevent unauthorized access, and we implement specific server-side protections to safeguard your private correspondence and media files.
## 8. Anti-Screenshot and Media Protection
To protect the privacy of our female members and high-profile individuals, we employ technical hurdles designed to prevent the unauthorized capturing of profile images. While no technology is infallible, we take active steps to maintain the exclusivity of your profile media.
## 9. Use of Cookies and Analytics
We use essential cookies to maintain your login session and improve site performance. We do not use "tracking pixels" to follow your behavior across other websites or build advertising profiles.
## 10. Data Retention Policy
We keep your information only as long as you are an active member. If you find your match and delete your account, or if your account remains inactive for a period of 24 months, your data is scheduled for permanent removal from our active databases.
## 11. Protecting the Vulnerable
Our platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. If we discover that any information has been submitted by a minor, that data will be purged immediately, and the account will be permanently blacklisted.
## 12. Updates to this Covenant
As global privacy laws evolve, so will this policy. We will notify you of any material changes via the email address associated with your account or through a dashboard notification.
## 13. Limitation of Liability and Mandatory Arbitration
By using Azwaaj.com, you acknowledge that no digital platform can guarantee 100% immunity from cyber-attacks. You agree that our liability is limited to the "best-effort" provision of security. Furthermore, you agree that any disputes regarding privacy or data shall be resolved through final and binding arbitration in our primary jurisdiction. By accepting these terms, you waive your right to pursue claims in a court of law or participate in class-action suits. This clause is a fundamental condition of our service and is intended to be upheld across all international legal systems.
