Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

YesNoMaybe operates a private matchmaking service. Contact details appear on the live site domain you use to access the app.

2. What we collect

• Account identifiers: generated username, passphrase verifier (we do not store your passphrase in plain text if hashed; implementation may evolve), optional email if you provide it.
• Profile and search data: answers you choose to questions (About Me and Search), language preference, batch preferences, credit balance events.
• Match activity: batch results delivered to you, Yes/Maybe/No decisions, timestamps.
• Technical data: basic logs needed to run and secure the service (e.g. approximate access times, error logs). We aim to minimize permanent device fingerprinting.

3. What we do not require

• We do not keep raw government-ID images or MRZ in our database. Age and identity checks are run by an independent third-party verification service as needed, before you buy credits and before you enter the matching pool. We store status, timestamps, and a vendor reference — not the ID file.
• Public social graph access.

4. How we use data

• To operate matching, batches, credits, and the features you use.
• To keep the service secure and prevent abuse.
• To produce aggregated statistics (e.g. counts of active users) that do not identify you.
• To comply with law when required.

5. Photos and chat

Photo exchange and chat, when enabled, are controlled by mutual rules. Treat anything you share as sensitive. Do not share content you are not willing to have the other person retain.

6. Sharing

We do not sell your personal profile as a marketing list. We may use infrastructure processors (hosting, database, payments) and an independent third-party verification service under contracts that restrict their use of data. These Terms and this policy will not always name the current vendor. Other users see only what the product allows for matches (compatibility signals, and later media you explicitly share).

7. Retention

Inactive accounts may be frozen or removed under our activity policy (see Terms). Change logs and backups exist for operational integrity and are pruned on a schedule.

8. Your choices

• Answer only questions you are comfortable with.
• Use optional email or not.
• Request closure via published support channels.
• Export of your data may be offered as the product matures; ask support if needed.

9. Security

We use industry-standard hosting and access controls. No method of transmission is 100% secure; use a unique passphrase and keep it private.

10. International users

Data may be processed in the United States or other regions where our providers operate. If you need region-specific terms, contact us.

11. Children

YesNoMaybe is for adults only (18+, or the higher age of majority where you live). We do not knowingly serve minors. Under-18 use is banned. Failed or refused verification can freeze or close the account.

Verification data

When a check is required, an independent third-party verification service collects the ID and liveness proof. We receive a pass/fail (or pending) result, a vendor reference, and timestamps. We do not store raw ID images or machine-readable zone data in Postgres. Affiliate reports do not include verify columns.

12. Changes

We may update this policy. Continued use after notice on the site means you accept the updated policy.
