Privacy Policy

1. Our Privacy Commitment

At NikahNama.pk, we recognize the deeply personal and sensitive nature of matrimonial information. We are committed to protecting the privacy, modesty, and personal information of every Pakistani bride, groom, and family member who uses our platform.

2. Information We Collect

To provide accurate matchmaking and maintain platform safety, we collect:

• Registration Data: Name, email address, password hash, date of birth, gender, and residential city.
• Verification Data: Mobile phone number used exclusively for SMS OTP verification and fraud prevention.
• Matrimonial Biodata: Education, occupation, religious sect, mother tongue, height, family status, and partner preferences.
• Photographs: Profile photographs that you choose to upload, categorized as either public or private.
• Technical Metadata: IP address, device type, and login timestamps to secure sessions and detect unauthorized access.

3. Private Photograph Controls

We provide industry-leading photograph privacy. Any photo marked as Private is encrypted in cloud storage and protected behind temporary presigned URLs. Private photos are never displayed in public search previews; they can only be viewed by members whose photo request you explicitly accept.

4. Contact Detail Confidentiality

Your direct phone number and private email address are never displayed publicly on search results or member profile pages. Contact information is only shared when both parties mutually accept a formal interest or when Guardian Mode coordinates an elder-to-elder introduction.

Your information is used strictly to:

• Operate and improve your matrimonial matchmaking experience.
• Calculate compatibility scores via AI Matchmaker based on your stated partner criteria.
• Verify accounts, prevent duplicate profiles, and detect automated bots.
• Process subscription upgrades via verified local payment processors (JazzCash).
• Send important account alerts (e.g. interest requests, OTP codes, moderation notifications).

No Third-Party Sale of Personal Data: NikahNama.pk does not sell, rent, or trade your personal contact information to third-party marketing companies or advertisers.

6. Cookies & Session Management

We use secure, HttpOnly session cookies to authenticate your login sessions and prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF). These cookies do not track your activity across unrelated websites.

7. Your Data Rights & Account Deletion

You retain complete ownership of your personal data:

• Edit anytime: You can modify your biodata and partner preferences whenever your situation changes.
