Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Seriously Match ("we", "us", "our") operates the Seriously Match mobile web application and related services (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you create an account, complete onboarding, use matching, messaging, the social feed, stories, events, notifications, or any other feature we offer.

2. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly and information generated by your use of the Service.

• Account and profile: name, email address, password (stored in hashed form where applicable), date of birth or age range, gender and preferences you choose, city or location fields you enter, photos and media you upload, bio text, interests, and onboarding or profile-completion data.
• Authentication: if you sign in with Google or Facebook, we receive identifiers and basic profile information from those providers as permitted by your settings and their policies.
• Activity: swipes, matches, messages you send and receive, follows, feed posts, comments, story views or uploads where applicable, event RSVPs or interactions, notification preferences, and technical logs associated with those actions.
• Device and technical data: IP address, device type, browser or app identifiers, approximate region derived from IP, cookies or similar technologies used to keep you signed in and secure sessions, and diagnostic data to operate and improve the Service.

3. How we use your information

We use the information above to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve Seriously Match, including matching, chat, feed, stories, and events.
• Send transactional emails such as verification, security notices, and service-related messages.
• Personalize what you see, including suggestions, compatibility-related features, and notifications.
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and technical issues; enforce our Terms & Conditions.
• Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

4. Sharing of information

Seriously Match is a social product: other members can see profile and content you choose to make visible (for example public feed posts or stories, depending on how the product is configured). We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

• Service providers who host infrastructure, send email, or analyze aggregated usage under contract.
• OAuth providers (e.g. Google, Meta/Facebook) as needed to complete sign-in you initiate.
• Law enforcement or regulators when required by law or to protect rights and safety.

5. Retention

We retain information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service, comply with law, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion of your account subject to legal and legitimate business retention needs.

6. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect data in transit and at rest. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure; you use the Service at your own risk and should use a strong, unique password and protect your device.

7. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, or to object to or restrict certain processing. Contact us using the details below to exercise applicable rights. You can update much of your profile inside the app where editing is available.

8. Children

Seriously Match is not intended for anyone under the age of 18 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. International transfers

If you access the Service from outside the country where our servers or processors are located, your information may be transferred across borders. We take steps designed to ensure appropriate safeguards where required.

10. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version and revise the "Last updated" date. Material changes may be communicated through the Service or by email where appropriate.

11. Contact

For privacy questions or requests, contact the Seriously Match team through the support options provided in the app or on your official website when published.
