Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 13, 2026

1. Introduction

Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect, why we need it, and what we do with it. We'll keep things straightforward—no hidden tricks or legal jargon you need a lawyer to decode.

By using Amaladate, you're agreeing to how we handle your information as described here. If you're not comfortable with any part of this, please don't use our service.

2. What We Collect

Info You Give Us

When you create your account, you provide:

  • Your name and email
  • Date of birth (to verify you're 18+)
  • Gender
  • Profile photos
  • Your bio and amala spot preferences

Info We Collect Automatically

  • Device and browser information
  • How you use the app (what features you click, who you interact with)
  • Basic log data like IP address and access times

Payment Info

We use Paystack to handle payments, so we never see your full credit card details. We only keep track of whether your payment went through and the transaction reference.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to make Amaladate work:

  • Set up and manage your account
  • Match you with people who share your amala spots
  • Let you send and receive date requests
  • Process your membership payment
  • Send notifications about matches and dates
  • Make the app better based on how people use it
  • Keep the platform safe and spot suspicious activity
  • Comply with legal requirements when necessary

4. Who Sees Your Information

We don't sell your data. Period. Here's who does see it:

Your Matches

When we match you with someone, they can see your profile—name, age, photos, bio, and preferred amala spots. That's kind of the whole point!

Service Providers

We work with these companies to run Amaladate:

  • Cloudflare: Keeps the site running
  • Paystack: Handles payments
  • Firebase: Sends push notifications
  • Brevo: Sends emails

Legal Requirements

If the law requires it—like a court order—we may have to share your information. We'll also share it if necessary to protect our users or the platform.

5. Keeping Your Data Safe

We take security seriously and use industry-standard measures to protect your information. That said, nothing online is ever 100% secure. We do our best, but we can't make absolute guarantees.

6. Your Control Over Your Data

You have these rights:

  • Access: Ask for a copy of your data
  • Update: Edit your profile information anytime
  • Delete: Request account deletion
  • Opt-out: Unsubscribe from promotional emails
  • Control notifications: Turn off push notifications in your settings

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]

7. How Long We Keep Your Data

We keep your information as long as you have an active account. If you delete your account, we'll remove or anonymize your data within 30 days (unless we're legally required to keep something longer).

8. Age Requirement

Amaladate is strictly for adults. You must be 18 or older to use it. If we find out someone under 18 has created an account, we'll delete it immediately.

9. Updates to This Policy

We might update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll post the new version here and update the date at the top. If you keep using Amaladate after changes, that means you're okay with them.
