Draft: get this reviewed before launch, and fill in the bracketed details.
Amana Rishta ("we") is operated by [legal entity name], [registered address]. We are the data controller for the information you give us. ICO registration number: [number]. Contact: [email protected].
When you register we ask for details about the person registering (name, email, phone, relationship to the candidate) and about the candidate (first name, gender, date of birth, town and postcode area, marital status).
In the optional profile you can add more about the candidate: height, whether they have children and where the children live, education, profession, languages, willingness to move, and plans for children. You can also tell us what they are looking for in a partner (age, location, heritage, education, height and other preferences), and describe them and what matters most in your own words.
Religious and heritage details are optional. These are: heritage and family origin, Islamic background and school of thought, whether they are a revert, how often they pray, halal habits, hijab or beard, and views on living arrangements and on a wife working after marriage. You can choose "Prefer not to say" or leave these blank. This information is "special category" data under UK GDPR, and we only use it with your explicit consent.
After you register we give you a private link so you can add to or change your profile. It stops working after 14 days, and anyone who has the link can see and edit the profile, so please keep it private. We store only a scrambled (hashed) version of the link, not the link itself. You can edit the profile until we have started verifying the registration.
Before anyone is introduced, we speak to the candidate directly by phone or video. We confirm their consent and check photo ID to confirm their name and age. We record only that the checks were passed, not the ID itself.
We never publish profiles. We only share limited details (such as first name, age, town, background and what they're looking for) with a potential match's family after both sides agree to an introduction. We use Cloudflare to host this website and store data. We do not sell your data.
If you register a son, daughter or relative, you confirm that they are 18 or over, that they know about the registration and agree to it, and that they want to marry of their own free will. We may contact the candidate directly to confirm this before making any introduction.
Until you ask us to delete it, or 24 months after your last contact with us, whichever comes first. If we remove someone for safety reasons, we keep a scrambled (hashed) copy of their email and phone number, and the reason, for up to 6 years so we can spot a re-registration. We do not keep copies of ID documents. [Confirm retention periods.]
You can withdraw consent at any time, and you can ask for a copy of your data or ask us to correct or delete it. Email [email protected]. If you're unhappy, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
This service is only for UK residents aged 18 and over.
