What Information We Collect

We only collect what is needed to run a verified, translation-ready dating platform - nothing more.

  1. 1

    Account registration data

    When you create a free profile, we collect the email address, password and basic identity details you provide at sign-up, along with the match preferences you set.

  2. 2

    Profile details you publish

    Photos, your written bio, interests and relationship goals that you choose to add are stored so other verified members can see the person you want to present.

  3. 3

    Verification documents

    Every profile completes an ID check, a live selfie check and a live video call. Documents and images submitted for this process are used only to confirm identity.

  4. 4

    Communication and usage data

    Messages sent through the platform, translation requests and general usage data such as pages viewed help us run features like AI matching and keep the service reliable.

How We Use Your Information

  1. 1

    Matching and recommendations

    Profile and preference data feeds our AI matching engine, which weighs more than 50 compatibility factors to recommend members you are more likely to connect with.

  2. 2

    Verification and fraud prevention

    ID, selfie and video verification data confirms every member is who they claim to be, while usage patterns are monitored to flag suspicious behavior early.

  3. 3

    Message translation

    When you write in one language, message content is processed by our translation tools so members reading in more than 30 languages can understand each other naturally.

  4. 4

    Service communication

    We use your account email to send essential service messages, such as verification updates, safety alerts and other account-related communication.

How We Protect Your Data

MatchAsian protects the data you share with technical and human safeguards working together. Information sent between your device and our platform is protected with SSL/TLS encryption, so messages, verification files and profile content stay unreadable to anyone intercepting the connection. Internal access to member data is restricted to staff who need it to moderate profiles, review verification submissions or investigate reports. A dedicated team reviews flagged accounts and monitors behavior in real time, working alongside automated fraud-detection systems to catch suspicious activity before it reaches other members. This combination of encryption, restricted access and continuous monitoring keeps your information - and your conversations - private.

Encryption in transit

SSL/TLS encryption protects data moving between your device and MatchAsian, including messages and verification files.

Verified, moderated access

Only staff who need it can view member data, and human moderators review profiles and verification submissions.

Continuous fraud monitoring

Automated systems and a 24/7 investigation team watch for suspicious behavior and act on it in real time.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

MatchAsian uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences and understand how the platform is used. Some cookies are essential for the site to function, while others support analytics or personalization and can be adjusted through your browser settings. For a full breakdown of the cookie categories we use and how to manage them, see our Cookie Policy.

Your Rights Over Your Information

You keep meaningful control over the information you share with MatchAsian. These rights apply to every member, and requests are handled by our support team through the contact page.

Access

Request a copy of the account and profile data we hold about you.

Correction

Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or out of date.

Deletion

Request that your account and associated data be deleted.

Objection

Object to certain uses of your data, such as non-essential communications.

Withdrawal of consent

Withdraw consent for optional processing, such as marketing messages, at any time.

Online Dating Safety Tips for Members

Good online dating safety tips start with the platform itself, but your own habits matter too. Keep early conversations inside MatchAsian rather than moving to outside apps, use our unlimited HD video calls to see and hear a match before making any plans to meet, and never send money to someone you have not verified in person. If anything feels off, report it immediately - our FAQ covers common concerns, and our contact page connects you directly with the safety team.

Privacy Questions and Policy Updates

We may update this policy as MatchAsian's features evolve; the most recent version is always published on this page with a revised date at the top. If you have a question about how your data is handled, or want to submit a privacy request, reach out through our contact page. Our Terms & Conditions and Cookie Policy cover related terms in full.
