We take strict measures to ensure that anonymous visitors' browsing behavior remains distinct from registered users' activity.

2.5. Supplementary Data Collection and User Consent

4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

At Guardian Muslim Marriage, we believe in being open and transparent about how your personal information is shared, and, in some cases, monetized.

4.7. We Reserve the Right to Monetize Your Information

We explicitly reserve the right to monetize, license, or otherwise transfer user data including but not limited to personal details, usage data, and behavioral analytics to third parties for commercial purposes, including marketing, advertising, research, and business intelligence. By using our services, you consent to this practice.

4.8. Profile Sharing and Public Accessibility

Our platform allows users to share profile links externally, potentially making your publicly available information accessible outside of our platform. If you opt into certain features, such as social media sharing, portions of your profile may become visible beyond our controlled environment.

While we provide options to manage certain privacy settings, your ability to restrict data sharing is limited. However, you may:

4.10. International Data Transfers

Given the global nature of our operations and the interconnected digital landscape in which we operate, it is possible that your personal data may be transferred across international borders to be processed, stored, or otherwise handled in jurisdictions that may have different, and in some cases more stringent, data protection and privacy laws than those applicable in your home country. We recognize the importance of safeguarding your personal information and, where necessary, we implement appropriate protective measures to ensure that your data remains secure and is treated in accordance with recognized privacy standards. To facilitate such international data transfers in a legally compliant manner, we typically rely on established mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses, which are widely accepted contractual provisions designed to ensure that any entity processing your data outside your jurisdiction adheres to a certain standard of privacy and security obligations.

4.11. Policy Updates and Changes

We may modify this policy at any time without prior notice. Updates will be reflected on our platform, and continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of any revised terms.

By engaging with our platform, you acknowledge, understand, and agree to these data-sharing practices, including the potential sale of your personal information to third parties. If you have any concerns, you may contact our platform for further clarification.

5. DATA RETENTION & SECURITY

We will only retain your personal information for as long as it is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other reporting requirements, or as otherwise permitted by law. In determining the appropriate retention period for personal information, we take into account various factors, including but not limited to:

the nature, amount, and sensitivity of the personal information;

the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of such information;

the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through alternative means;

our legal obligations under applicable laws, regulations, and industry best practices; and

the applicable limitation periods for claims and litigation that may be brought against us or by us.

Reminder that deleting information from your profile or closing your account does not guarantee its complete removal. Copies may still exist if shared with others or stored elsewhere. We do not have control over this and bear no responsibility for it. Additionally, third-party applications or websites with prior access to your information may retain it according to their own terms and policies.

In certain cases, the retention period for your personal information may vary depending on the type of account you have with us and whether your account remains active, deactivated, or has been deleted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to retain certain categories of personal information beyond the standard retention period in specific circumstances, including but not limited to:

in the event of an ongoing complaint or dispute;

in the context of a criminal, financial, fraud-related, tax-related, or regulatory investigation, inquiry, or proceeding (or similar legal or governmental inquiry);

where we reasonably believe that continued retention is necessary to protect the health, safety, and well-being of our staff, users, or third parties;

where we believe there is a reasonable prospect of litigation arising out of our relationship with you; or

where retention is necessary for compliance with contractual obligations, industry standards, or internal business continuity and risk management policies.

For avoidance of doubt, personal information that has been fully anonymized, de-identified, or aggregated may be retained indefinitely for research, statistical, analytical, or other business purposes, provided that such information does not allow for the direct or indirect identification of any individual.

Additionally, we may retain transactional records, including purchase histories, complaint logs, payment details, and other records related to your interactions with us, even after the deletion of your account or the expiration of the standard retention period, if such retention is necessary for fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal compliance, regulatory reporting, audit purposes, financial record-keeping, or other legitimate business interests. While we implement industry-standard security practices, no online system can be entirely secure, and users should exercise caution when sharing personal data.

6. YOUR RIGHTS & CHOICES

We are committed to ensuring that you have full transparency and control over your personal data. As part of our commitment to data protection and privacy, we recognize and facilitate the exercise of various rights regarding your personal information. These rights, which may be subject to limitations based on the applicable laws in your jurisdiction, allow you to access, manage, and, where necessary, restrict the processing of your data. Below, we provide a detailed explanation of these rights, as well as the means through which you may exercise them.

7. VERIFICATION AND LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS

We take the security and privacy of our members seriously. To ensure that we are addressing requests appropriately and safeguarding your personal data from unauthorised access or misuse, we may require you to provide sufficient information to verify your identity or to demonstrate your authority to act on behalf of another member before we can process certain requests. This precautionary measure is implemented to prevent unauthorised parties from gaining access to, modifying, or controlling your personal data. The protection of your personal information is a priority, and we are committed to ensuring that only you, or an authorised individual acting on your behalf, can exercise the rights related to your data.

It is important to note that we reserve the right to decline requests under certain circumstances. A request may be rejected if we are unable to verify your identity or authority to act on another's behalf, if the request does not comply with applicable legal requirements, or if granting the request would be unlawful or invalid. Additionally, we may decline requests where fulfilling them would compromise our legitimate business interests, infringe upon trade secrets, violate intellectual property rights, or affect the privacy and legal rights of other individuals.

If your request relates to obtaining information associated with another member-such as requesting a copy of messages exchanged with them-we are unable to disclose such information unless the other member submits a request independently. In such cases, the individual whose data is being requested must exercise their own rights directly to ensure compliance with data protection regulations and privacy laws.

8. APPEALS PROCESS FOR RESIDENTS OF CERTAIN U.S. STATES

For residents of specific states within the United States including Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut, if we deny your privacy-related request, you may have the right to appeal this decision. Should you wish to initiate an appeal, you must contact us through the appropriate channels and explicitly reference the term "Privacy Rights Appeal" in your communication. This will ensure that your appeal is properly identified and reviewed in accordance with the applicable legal framework.

9. ESCALATION AND COMPLAINTS TO DATA PROTECTION AUTHORITIES

Individuals residing in certain countries, including those within the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK), have the right to pursue further action if they have concerns regarding the manner in which their personal data is being processed. This includes the right to seek judicial remedies and the right to lodge a formal complaint with the appropriate data protection authority in their respective jurisdiction.

If you believe that your rights under applicable data protection laws have been violated or that your personal data is being processed in a manner that is inconsistent with legal requirements, you have the option to escalate your concerns to the relevant regulatory body.

We remain committed to ensuring that our data handling practices align with relevant legal standards and that you are provided with accessible avenues to exercise your rights. If you require additional information or further assistance regarding any of the matters outlined above, we encourage you to reach out to us through our designated contact channels.

8. COOKIES & TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience, track analytics, and deliver personalized content. Users can manage cookie settings via their browser preferences. For more information, please refer to our Cookies Policy.

9. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Guardian Muslim Marriage is strictly intended for users 18 years and older. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. We do not permit individuals under the age of 18 on our platform. If you suspect an underage user, report them through our platform.
