Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

To deliver accurate matchmaking recommendations and protect members from impersonation, we collect the following categories of information:

• Account Basics: Full name, verified email address, phone number, date of birth, gender, and login credentials.
• Matrimonial Profile Details: Religion, ethnicity, civil status, height, education, occupation, residence, and family background.
• Horoscope / Kendara Data: Time of birth, place of birth, and optional astrological Kendara charts uploaded for Porondam compatibility.
• Verification Documents: National Identity Card (NIC) or Passport copies uploaded solely for manual trust badge validation. These documents are stored privately in encrypted vaults and are never publicly displayed.
• Photos: Profile photos uploaded by you. You retain full control over privacy settings, including blur-photo and view-upon-request options.

2. How We Use Your Information

We strictly use your information for legitimate matchmaking purposes:

• Algorithmic Matching: Matching partner preferences based on age, religion, height, occupation, and astrological compatibility.
• Safety & Verification: Validating legitimate identity to prevent fraudulent, duplicate, or underage accounts.
• Secure Communication: Facilitating real-time chat, voice calls, and interest proposals between authenticated users.
• Notifications & Service Updates: Sending instant proposal notifications, chat alerts, and security alerts via SMS or Email.

3. Profile Privacy & Contact Sharing

Your contact numbers are safeguarded by default. A prospective match cannot view your verified phone number unless:

1. The member holds an active eligible membership plan (Starter, Premium, or Stellar).
2. You have accepted their interest proposal or explicitly consented to contact exchange.
3. Both accounts are in good standing without outstanding verification flags.

You can adjust photo visibility, hide your profile from search, or activate stealth browsing at any time from your Account Settings.

4. Data Security & Encryption

Mangalajaya.LK implements enterprise-grade security protocols to protect your personal matrimonial records:

• Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS): All communications between your browser and our servers are encrypted via HTTPS.
• Encrypted Storage: Sensitive records, identity documents, and passwords are encrypted using modern cryptographic standards (bcrypt, AES-256).
• Restricted Admin Access: Internal staff access to sensitive user data is strictly audited and limited to authorized moderation officers.

5. Your Rights & Account Deletion

You maintain complete ownership of your personal profile. At any time, you have the right to:

• Edit & Update: Modify your personal, horoscope, and photo details in your Profile Dashboard.
• Pause / Deactivate: Temporarily hide your profile from search results while preserving your conversation history.
• Permanently Delete: Request complete account erasure. Upon confirmation, your profile, photos, horoscope documents, and chat records are permanently purged from our active databases.
