1. Information We Collect

We collect several categories of information to operate our dating platform, match you with compatible Slavic women, and ensure a safe user experience. The types of data we gather include:

• Personal Identification Data: Full name, email address, date of birth, gender, phone number, and country of residence provided during registration.
• Profile Information: Photographs, biographical descriptions, relationship preferences, education level, occupation, physical attributes, and personal interests you voluntarily share on your profile.
• Communication Data: Messages, chat logs, video call metadata, and correspondence exchanged through our platform's messaging system between members.
• Verification Documents: Government-issued identification, selfie photos for identity confirmation, and any supplementary documents submitted during our 6-step profile verification process.
• Payment Information: Billing name, billing address, and transaction records. Credit card numbers and payment credentials are processed exclusively by PCI DSS-compliant third-party payment processors - we never store full card details on our servers.
• Usage and Device Data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, pages visited, time spent on pages, click patterns, referral URLs, and general geolocation (city/region level).
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: Data collected through cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy.

2. How We Use Your Information

We process your personal data for specific, legitimate purposes directly related to operating a safe and effective international dating platform. Your information is used to:

• Create and manage your account: Process registration, maintain your profile, and authenticate your identity across sessions.
• Match you with compatible partners: Analyze profile data and stated preferences to suggest compatible Slavic women through our matching algorithms.
• Enable communication: Facilitate messaging, video chat, and other interaction features between verified members.
• Verify profiles and enforce safety: Conduct identity verification, detect fraudulent accounts, prevent scams, and enforce our community guidelines and Terms and Conditions.
• Process payments: Handle subscription billing, credit purchases, and refund requests through our secure payment partners.
• Improve our platform: Analyze usage patterns and member feedback to enhance features, fix technical issues, and optimize the user experience.
• Communicate with you: Send account notifications, security alerts, customer support responses, and - with your consent - promotional content about new features or membership offers.
• Comply with legal obligations: Respond to lawful requests from government authorities, enforce our legal rights, and meet regulatory reporting requirements.

3. Data Storage and Security

Protecting your personal data is a core priority at SlavicHearts. We employ industry-leading security measures to safeguard your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Additional security measures include:

• Strict employee access controls: Only authorized personnel with a legitimate business need can access member data, governed by role-based permissions and audit logging.
• Regular third-party security audits: Independent cybersecurity firms conduct penetration testing and vulnerability assessments on our infrastructure quarterly.
• Automated threat detection: AI-powered monitoring systems scan for suspicious activity, unauthorized access attempts, and potential data breaches around the clock.
• Data minimization: We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by applicable law.

Verification documents (government IDs and selfies) are encrypted separately, stored for a maximum of 90 days after verification completion, and then permanently deleted from our systems.

4. Third-Party Data Sharing

We never sell your personal data. This is an absolute commitment. Your profile information, communication history, and personal details are never sold to data brokers, advertisers, or any third party for their own marketing purposes.

We share limited data only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: Trusted partners who assist with payment processing, email delivery, cloud hosting, customer support tools, and analytics - all bound by strict data processing agreements that prohibit them from using your data for their own purposes.
• Legal requirements: When compelled by valid court orders, subpoenas, or other legal processes issued by courts of competent jurisdiction, or when disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law.
• Safety enforcement: When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of our members, prevent fraud, or address violations of our Terms and Conditions.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, member data may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy.
