Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2026
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide during registration (name, email, phone) and biodata creation (personal details, education, family information, expected partner preferences). We also collect usage data such as page visits, search queries, and interaction patterns to improve our service.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your information is used to: create and display your biodata to potential matches, provide search and filter functionality, process connection purchases, send notifications about your account activity, and improve our platform. We never sell your personal data to third parties.
3. Contact Information Protection
Your contact information (phone numbers, email) is considered highly sensitive. It is never displayed publicly on your biodata. Contact details are only revealed to other users who purchase a connection to your profile. This ensures your privacy while maintaining the matchmaking process.
4. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted passwords (bcrypt hashing), JWT-based authentication, HTTPS encryption for all data transmission, and secure database storage. We regularly review and update our security practices.
5. Data Retention
Your account and biodata information is retained for as long as your account is active. You may request account deletion at any time through the Settings page or by contacting support. Upon deletion, all personal data associated with your account will be permanently removed within 30 days.
6. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party payment processors (bKash, Nagad, SSLCommerz) for connection purchases. These services have their own privacy policies and handle payment data securely. We do not store your payment card information.
7. Cookies & Analytics
We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We may use analytics tools to understand usage patterns. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect platform functionality.
8. Your Rights
You have the right to: access your personal data, correct inaccurate information, request data deletion, object to data processing, and withdraw consent at any time. Contact us at support@sohodharmini.com to exercise these rights.
9. Changes to This Policy
