Data Collection

What Information We Collect

We collect the minimum information needed to verify members, enable safe introductions and keep this data protection dating site secure. Each category below serves a specific, stated purpose.

Account & Profile Details

Your profile includes photos, age, location, lifestyle preferences and the intentions you share when creating an account, so other verified members understand who you are before messaging.

Verification Data

To confirm you are a real adult, we collect identity or selfie verification during onboarding. This data confirms authenticity and reduces fraudulent profiles across the platform.

Usage & Device Data

We record how you browse the platform, including device type and session activity. This helps secure accounts, detect suspicious behavior and improve match relevance.

Communication Content

Messages exchanged between members are stored securely to support safety enforcement and dispute resolution, and are never sold to third parties.

Purpose

How We Use Your Information

FindSugarMatch uses the information you provide to power four core functions: matching you with compatible members, verifying account authenticity, enforcing community safety standards, and communicating important service updates. Member data is never used to construct fabricated or synthetic profiles.

  • Facilitate relevant introductions between members based on stated lifestyle and preferences.
  • Confirm identity and photo authenticity during onboarding and periodic verification checks.
  • Detect and act on behavior that violates our Terms & Conditions, including solicitation attempts.
  • Send account, security and billing notifications relevant to your membership.
  • Meet legal, regulatory and law-enforcement obligations where required.

Security

How We Protect Your Data

Encryption is the foundation of security on this data protection dating site - applied both to stored records and to every conversation you send.

Data at rest is protected using AES-256 encryption, an industry-standard cipher for securing stored member information. Data in transit - everything sent between your device and our servers - travels over TLS/SSL encrypted connections.

Private messages between members receive end-to-end encryption, so conversations remain unreadable to anyone outside that exchange, including our own systems wherever architecturally possible.

Encrypted Messaging
