Sensitive Matching Consent

1. What this consent covers

Some matching questions reveal special categories of personal data. We ask for separate, specific, affirmative consent before collecting or using those answers for matching. Refusing consent means that features which depend on those inputs cannot operate.

• Survey and reflection data: answers, importance, dealbreakers, visibility choices, survey version, and completion state. Some answers may reveal religion or philosophy, political views, sexual orientation or sex life, and health- or fertility-adjacent information.

2. Legal basis

We do not sell personal data. Paid status does not improve profile ranking or visibility. We do not use sensitive matching information for advertising.

• Special-category compatibility and matching information: separate explicit consent under Article 9 GDPR.
• Introduction ordering and recommendations: contract, legitimate service-quality and safety interests, and explicit consent for special-category inputs.

3. Withdrawing this consent

You may withdraw through Privacy Controls as easily as you gave consent. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of earlier processing. It stops future sensitive matching use and pauses the discovery features that depend on those inputs. Active locks and Focused Matches are not silently altered.

Withdrawal does not by itself erase answers you have already given. To have them erased, write to the privacy address in the operator block. We complete an erasure request within one month of receiving it, and if the request is unusually complex we may extend that by up to two further months and will tell you within the first month that we have done so.
