By using our platform, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
We operate an international dating platform connecting Western men with verified Asian women across 33 countries. Given the sensitive nature of dating data, we apply industry-leading security standards to safeguard every piece of information you share with us.

How and Why We Use Your Data
Every piece of data we process has a specific, lawful purpose. We do not collect data "just in case" - here is exactly how your information powers a safer, better dating experience:
- Provide and improve matchmaking services - Your profile data and preferences drive our AI-powered compatibility algorithm, connecting you with women who share your values and goals.
- Verify user identity - ID verification and photo matching protect you from fake profiles and romance scams, reducing fraudulent accounts by over 95%.
- Ensure platform safety - Usage patterns and communication metadata help our 24/7 moderation team detect suspicious behavior and enforce community guidelines.
- Communicate service updates - We use your email to send essential account notifications, security alerts, and (with your consent) dating tips and match suggestions.
- Comply with legal obligations - We retain certain data as required by applicable laws, including financial regulations and law enforcement cooperation requirements.
- Conduct anonymized analytics - Aggregated, de-identified data helps us understand platform trends and improve features for all users.
Legal basis (GDPR): We process your data under consent (Article 6(1)(a)), contractual necessity (Article 6(1)(b)), legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)), and legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)), depending on the specific processing activity.
When We Share Your Information
Your trust is fundamental to our business. We never sell your personal data to third parties. We share information only in the following limited circumstances:

- Law enforcement requests - When required by valid legal process (court order, subpoena, or statutory obligation) in the relevant jurisdiction
- Safety emergencies - When we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to prevent imminent harm to a user or the public
- Aggregated anonymous analytics - De-identified, statistical data that cannot identify any individual may be shared with research partners
- Business transfers - In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data would transfer under equivalent privacy protections
