Our Sacred Commitment to Privacy (Amanah)
In Islamic jurisprudence, privacy is a fundamental right. Global Nikkah operates under the principle that every candidate's matrimonial search must remain discreet, dignified, and secure from unsolicited voyeurism, commercial exploitation, or public disclosure. We do not sell your personal data, nor do we run third-party advertising trackers.
Modesty & Default Photo Privacy (Haya Safeguards)
To uphold the Sunnah requirement of modesty (Haya), all profile photos uploaded by candidates are blurred by default across public search, candidate discovery, and profile listings.
- Unblurring requires mutual authorization: Photos are only unblurred when both candidates mutually accept an interest request, or when explicit photo access is granted by the account owner.
- Guardian (Wali) inspection: If a female profile has an active Wali chaperone, the Wali holds authorized oversight to inspect candidate photos and discussions to safeguard her dignity.
- Revocation: You can revoke photo access for any user at any moment from your privacy settings.
Information We Collect & Why
We only collect information strictly necessary to facilitate a blessed, Halal marriage matching process:
Account & Deen Details
Name, verified email, prayer frequency, madhhab, Islamic values, age, and country of residence.
Guardian (Wali) Details
Wali's name, relationship (e.g. Father, Brother), email address, and chaperone permission levels.
Identity Verification & KYC Security
To eliminate fake accounts, scammers, and casual daters, our trained human compliance moderators review government-issued ID documents. Identity documents are stored with AES-256 encryption in secure non-public storage and are never revealed or shared with other seekers.
GDPR Compliance & Right to Permanent Erasure
Under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR Article 17) and international privacy laws, you possess the unabridged right to request complete data erasure. When you deactivate or delete your account, all photos, biodata, matches, and chat histories are permanently wiped from active databases.
Payment Gateways & Transaction Security
Payments for our Single Marriage Pass are processed strictly through Level 1 PCI-DSS certified payment processors—Stripe and PayPal. Global Nikkah never captures, processes, or stores your credit card numbers, CVV codes, or banking login credentials on our servers.
