Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

SeniorMatch ("we", "us", "our") operates the website senior--match.com, a dating and companionship platform for mature singles. We are the data controller for the personal information you share with us. Questions about this policy can be sent to support@senior--match.com or via our contact page.

2. Information We Collect

• Account information — your email address, password (stored only in encrypted form) and the profile details you choose to provide: name or nickname, age, location, photos, interests and introduction.
• Usage information — how you use the platform: profiles viewed, searches, messages sent (metadata, not content sold to anyone), and device/browser information for security and performance.
• Payment information — if you purchase premium features, payment is processed by our payment provider; we never see or store your full card details.
• Communications — messages you send to our support team, and reports you make about other members.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To operate your account and show your profile to other members (only the details you choose to make visible).
• To suggest compatible members and improve the relevance of the community.
• To keep the platform safe: moderation, fraud detection, scam prevention and enforcing our Terms of Service.
• To communicate with you about your account, and — only with your consent — occasional news and dating advice you can opt out of with one click.

4. What We Never Do

We never sell your personal information. We never show your email address, phone number or exact location to other members. We never use your photos or profile in advertising without your explicit written consent.

5. Cookies

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and the site working, and optional analytics cookies to understand how the site is used so we can improve it. You can refuse optional cookies in your browser settings; the essential ones are required for the service to function.

6. Sharing Your Information

We share personal information only with the trusted providers who help us run the service — hosting, payment processing, email delivery — under contracts that require them to protect it. We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect the safety of our members.

7. Data Retention

We keep your information while your account is active. When you delete your account, your profile and personal data are removed from public view immediately and deleted from our systems within 90 days, except where we must retain records for legal, tax or safety reasons.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live (including under GDPR and similar laws), you have the right to access, correct, export and delete your personal information, and to object to certain uses of it. Every one of these can be exercised from your account settings or by writing to support@senior--match.com — no forms, no runaround.

9. Security

We use encryption in transit and at rest, strict access controls and regular security reviews. No online service can promise absolute security, but protecting your information is treated as a core feature of this platform, not an afterthought. Our safety guide explains what you can do on your side.

10. Changes to This Policy

If we make meaningful changes to this policy, we'll notify members by email and on the site before they take effect. The "last updated" date above always shows the current version.

11. Contact

Privacy questions, requests or concerns: support@senior--match.com, or the contact page. A real person reads every message.
