GDPR & NDPR Compliance

Your data, your rights

FindYourNikkah complies with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR). No matter where you live, we apply these standards as our baseline.

Your rights

Right to access

You can view all the personal data we hold about you, including your profile, photos, matches, messages, and activity logs — directly from your account.

View my profile

Right to rectification

If any data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you can correct it at any time. Most fields are editable from the Edit Profile page; for anything else, contact support.

Edit my profile

Right to data portability

You can request an export of your data in a structured, machine-readable format. Exports include your profile, preferences, messages, and photo metadata.

Request data export

Right to erasure

You can delete your account at any time. Deletion is permanent and removes your profile, photos, conversations, and all associated data, subject to legal retention requirements (for example, financial records for billing).

Delete my account

Right to restrict processing

You can pause notifications, hide your profile, or deactivate your account without deleting it — reducing how your data is used while keeping it available for later.

Manage privacy

Right to object

You can opt out of promotional communications and certain non-essential data processing. Opting out of essential processing (like match suggestions) means some features won't work.

Notification settings

Legal basis for processing

We process your personal data on the basis of your consent (when you sign up), contractual necessity (to provide the matchmaking service), legitimate interest (fraud prevention, platform safety), and legal obligation (keeping financial records for as long as the law requires).

Data retention

We keep your profile and activity data while your account is active. After you delete your account, most personal data is removed immediately. A limited set of records — such as payment and abuse reports — may be retained for legal and audit purposes for up to the period required by law.

International transfers

Our infrastructure and third-party processors (payments, email delivery, anti-spam) may process data outside your country. In those cases we rely on appropriate safeguards — standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms — to ensure your data is protected to the same standard.

Complaints

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country (for example, your national supervisory authority in the EU, or the Nigeria Data Protection Commission). We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue directly.
