At Mymatchsticks, your privacy matters deeply. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.
We collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, date of birth, gender, location, profile photos, and any content you add to your profile. We also collect usage data such as how you interact with the app, device information, IP address, and approximate location when you use location-based features.
We use your information to: provide and improve our services; match you with compatible users; send you notifications and service updates; verify your identity and age; prevent fraud and ensure platform safety; comply with legal obligations; and with your consent, send marketing communications.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share data with trusted service providers who help us operate the platform (e.g., cloud hosting, payment processors), when required by law, or with your explicit consent. Your profile information is visible to other registered users according to your privacy settings.
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal purposes.
Depending on your location, you may have the right to: access your personal data; correct inaccurate data; request deletion of your data; object to or restrict processing; data portability; and withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@mymatchsticks.com.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience. See our Cookie Policy for full details. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences.
We use industry-standard encryption and security measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to report any suspected security breaches immediately.
Mymatchsticks is strictly for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we become aware that a minor has registered, we will immediately delete their account and data.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or in-app notification. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance.
