This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website https://nikahelite.com (the “Site”), register as a member, or use our matrimonial/match-making services (the “Services”).
By accessing or using the Site and/or Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

• Cookies, web-beacons and similar tracking technologies to recognise your device, remember your preferences, compile aggregated usage statistics, and improve functionality.

2.3 Third-Party Data

We may receive information from third parties if you link or use third-party services (for example social login, payment services, or other integrations). We will indicate where this is the case.

3. Use of Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

• To provide, operate and maintain our Services, including enabling you to create a profile, search for matches, receive notifications, and connect with other members.

• To verify your identity, validate your membership, and ensure the authenticity of profiles (for example, to help us maintain a “Verified Members” environment).

• To communicate with you – for example to respond to your inquiries, send updates, newsletters, promotional notices (with your consent), or service announcements.

• To personalise your experience: to deliver content and features more relevant to you, such as suggesting matching profiles, remembering your preferences, and assisting in navigation.

• To monitor, analyse and improve Site performance, user experience, and to detect, prevent and address technical issues or abuse.

• To comply with our legal obligations, enforce our Terms & Conditions, or protect our rights, property or safety and that of our users.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We will not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may disclose your information in the following situations:

• With other members of the Site: When you choose to make certain profile information visible to other members (according to your account settings), that information may be disclosed to those members.

• Service providers: We may engage third-party service providers (such as hosting, data storage, payment processing, analytics) to perform services on our behalf. These providers will only have access to the information necessary for them to perform their functions, and are contractually required to keep it confidential and secure.

• Legal and safety reasons: We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; to protect our rights or property or those of others; to enforce our Terms & Conditions; or in connection with a corporate transaction such as merger, acquisition or sale of assets.

• Aggregated or anonymised information: We may share aggregated or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify you as an individual.

We use cookies and similar technologies to collect usage information and personalise your experience. You may configure your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being used. However, if you disable cookies, parts of the Site may not function properly.

6. Data Retention

We will retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our Services, and as required to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you request deletion of your account and data, we will delete most of your personal data unless otherwise required by law or certain legitimate business purposes persist (e.g., fraud prevention, legal compliance).

7. Security of Your Information

We implement security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These include encryption (where appropriate), access controls, secure servers, and regular monitoring. Nonetheless, no method of transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
