Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

ShadiTerminal ("we", "our", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have — so you can use ShadiTerminal with confidence.

1. Information We Collect

  • Account information you provide when you register, such as your email address and password.
  • Profile information you choose to share, including your name, date of birth, gender, religion, education, profession, family background, photos, and partner preferences.
  • Communications you send through our platform, including interests you express and messages you exchange with other members.
  • Usage information such as pages visited and actions taken on ShadiTerminal, collected automatically to help us operate and improve the service.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To operate your account and display your profile to other members according to your privacy settings.
  • To power search, filtering, and matching between members.
  • To communicate with you about your account, safety notices, and — where you've agreed — product updates.
  • To detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, and violations of our Terms of Service.

3. What We Share — and What We Don't

  • We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
  • Your profile is visible to other registered members according to the visibility settings you choose. Your email address and password are never shown to other members.
  • We may share information with service providers who help us run ShadiTerminal (such as hosting and email delivery), bound by confidentiality obligations, and where required by law.

4. Your Choices & Rights

  • You can review and update most of your profile information at any time from your dashboard.
  • You can hide your profile from search, block or report other members, and control what appears on your profile.
  • You can request a copy of your data or request deletion of your account by contacting us — see the Contact Us page. Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR (UK/EU) or applicable data protection laws in your country.

5. Data Retention

  • We retain your information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your profile, photos, and messages, other than information we're required to retain for legal, safety, or fraud-prevention purposes.

6. Security

  • We use industry-standard measures — including encrypted password storage and secure connections — to protect your information. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so we also encourage you to follow the guidance on our Safety Tips page.

7. Children's Privacy

  • ShadiTerminal is intended for adults 18 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

8. Changes to This Policy

  • We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll notify members through the platform or by email before the changes take effect.

9. Contact Us

  • If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, please reach out via our Contact Us page.
