Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information MatchTechno LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“MatchTechno”, “AzwajApp”, “we”, “us”), collects through the AzwajApp app, why we collect it, and the choices you have. Marriage-seeking is a sensitive purpose, and this policy is written with that in mind — several of the app's design decisions exist specifically to minimize what we and other users can see about you.

• Account information: name, email or phone number, date of birth, and password (stored hashed, never in plain text).
• Profile information: details you choose to add, such as location, education, practice level, and what you are looking for in a spouse.
• Photos: images you upload, shown to other users only under the app's modesty and match rules described in our Terms.
• Verification data: if you choose to verify your identity, the document and selfie you submit are handled one of two ways depending on how verification is configured for your account: either sent to our identity verification partner and not stored on our own servers beyond the verification result, or uploaded directly to and stored securely on our own servers for review by our team.
• Guardian (wali) data: if a wali relationship is set up, the wali's account information and the activity that relationship grants them visibility into.
• Messages: conversations you send through the app, visible only to the participants (and, where configured, an acting wali).
• Marriage outcome: if you and your match confirm in the app that you are getting married, we record that, take both profiles out of discovery, and count it among the marriages made through AzwajApp. If you choose to share your story, we keep it, and publish it only if you allow it, without your names.
• Payment information: subscription purchases are handled entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play — we receive confirmation of a purchase, never your card details.
• Device and usage information: device type, app version, crash logs, and a push-notification token, used to operate and improve the Service.

Religious information and your consent: practice level, hijab or beard style, hafidh status, and your partner practice-level preference are religious information, a special category of personal data. We process it only with the explicit consent you give when you sign up (for a wali-managed profile, the wali gives it), and only to show it on your profile and use it in matching. You can withdraw that consent at any time in the app under Settings → Religious profile details: we then delete those details from your profile straight away and accept no new ones until you turn the setting back on. Withdrawing doesn't affect processing that happened before, and your account keeps working without them. Each time you give or withdraw this consent is recorded, with the date, as proof.

Push notification payloads never contain a sender's name or message text — a notification tells you that something happened (a new interest, a new message) without revealing who or what on the lock screen of a shared or visible device. This is an architectural decision in how the app is built, not a setting that can be turned off.

• To operate core features: profiles, discovery, interests, guardian oversight, chat, and verification;
• To enforce our Terms, including reviewing reports and blocks;
• To send service notifications (never marketing spam);
• To improve the Service's safety, reliability, and performance;
• To comply with legal obligations.

We do not use your data to serve third-party advertising, and we do not sell your personal information.

• Other users: only what your profile settings and match status allow — see our modesty and matching rules.
• A guardian (wali): only when a wali relationship is set up on that account.
• The other family, for a family meeting: if both sides of a conversation agree to a family meeting, the groom and the bride's wali each see the other's name and verified phone number so the families can arrange it. Nothing is shared unless the other side accepts the request.
• Service providers: when applicable, our identity verification partner; our cloud hosting provider; and our push notification provider — each bound to use your data only to provide their service to us.
• App stores: Apple and Google process subscription payments directly; we receive only confirmation of purchase.
• Legal requirements: where required by law, or to protect the safety of our users.

We retain your information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your profile data within a reasonable period, except where we are required to retain certain records (for example, for fraud prevention or legal compliance).

If we suspend an account for violating our Terms (for example, fraud, scams, or abusing other users), we keep the account's email address, phone number, and the ID-document number from its identity verification on a blocklist, so the same person cannot open a new account or verify again. These identifiers are stored only as keyed one-way hashes that cannot be turned back into the original values, are used for nothing else, and are kept even after the account itself is deleted, until the suspension is lifted.

So that each launch offer (such as a free trial for verifying your phone or your identity) is given only once per person, we also keep a keyed one-way hash of the phone number that earned a signup offer and of the ID-document number from an approved identity verification, and check new claims against them. These hashes are stored without any link to your account, are used for nothing else, and are kept after your account is deleted, so that deleting an account and signing up again doesn't earn the same offer twice.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information. You can update most of your information directly in the app, or contact us at [email protected] for anything you cannot change yourself, including full account deletion.

Where we rely on your consent — for religious information, and for analytics cookies on our website — you can withdraw it at any time, as easily as you gave it: in the app under Settings → Religious profile details, and on the website under Cookie settings.

AzwajApp is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a minor has created an account, contact us and we will remove it.

We use industry-standard measures — encryption in transit, hashed credentials, and access controls between the app's modules — to protect your information. No system is completely secure, and we encourage using a strong, unique password.

Your information may be processed in a country other than the one you live in. Where this happens, we take steps to ensure it receives an appropriate level of protection.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified in-app or by email before they take effect.
