Privacy Notice

Version 2026-08-19

How TondiMatch collects, uses, shares, protects, and deletes personal information.

The data controller is NoelTech Solutions LLC, doing business as TondiMatch,

United States. For privacy questions or requests, email privacy@tondimatch.com.

Dating information is highly personal. This notice describes what the service

does today. If a practice below changes, we will update this notice and obtain

any consent required before the change applies.

What we collect, and what we do with it

WhatHow it is storedWhy
Your email addressAs a keyed hash for account lookup. The address itself is not shown to other members.It is how we recognise your account when you sign in with an emailed code or with Google or Apple, and how we enforce one account per address.
Your date of birthEncrypted. We derive your age from it and show only the age.We are 18+ only and must be able to prove we checked.
Your name, gender, who you are looking for, intentions, languages, optional job title, education, faith, values, interests, and what you write about yourselfPlainly, as you entered itIt is your profile. Other members see it. Faith is shown as you entered it, is never inferred from anything else, and is not used to rank or filter anyone today.
Your city, and optionally where you are fromAs a choice from a fixed list of placesDistance is shown to others as a band — "same city", "nearby", "same region", "elsewhere in the country", or "abroad". Never a precise position.
Your photosIn private storage. Location and camera metadata are stripped before we store them.Your profile. A photo a moderator has removed stops being visible.
A verification selfie, if you choose to verifyUntil a moderator decides, then deletedSo a person can confirm the photos are of you. It is never shown to members and never becomes a profile photo. We do not store a face template or face geometry from it.
Your messages, likes, passes, matches, blocks, reports and appealsPlainlyThe service does not work without them. Reports keep a copy of the relevant messages so a moderator can act even if they are later deleted.
Discovery ranking logsPlainly, tied to your account id while the account existsTo improve who we show whom. They are erased when your account is erased.
Sign-in sessions, a device identifier, a push notification token, and the IP address your device uses to reach usAs hashes, opaque tokens, or short-lived connection metadataTo keep you signed in, end a session, deliver notifications you allow, and limit abuse.
Purchase records, if you buy anythingWhich store charged, whether a subscription is running and when it renews or ends, when a Spotlight placement started and ended, and how many placements you bought on a given dayTo unlock what you paid for, apply the daily and outstanding Spotlight limits, and keep an audit trail of what was charged. We never receive your card, Mobile Money number, PIN or wallet details.

Phone-number sign-in is built but switched off until an SMS provider is contracted. We do not ask for your phone number in the app today.

We do not currently offer video profile media, voice notes on profiles, or in-app

voice or video calls. Any previously stored profile voice intro is deleted.

What we do not collect

and no third-party analytics, cookies, pixels, or advertising SDKs.

subscribe, Apple or Google take the payment. We receive a confirmation, not

the instrument. The same is true of a one-time Spotlight placement.

Sensitive information

A dating profile can reveal sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, sex-life

information, and other sensitive details — especially gender, who you are

looking for, intentions, and optional faith. Those fields are optional except

where needed to run the matching feature you chose. Accepting this notice when

you create an account is the consent we record for those fields. There is not a

second, separate sensitive-data checkbox in the app today. You can leave

optional fields blank or clear them later. We do not sell sensitive

information, use it for third-party advertising, disclose it to data brokers,

or infer sensitive characteristics from photos or behaviour for advertising.

We do not use private messages, verification selfies, or sensitive profile

traits to train a general-purpose AI model.

Why we use information, and on what basis

We use the information above to:

messages, matches, likes and the features you request;

prohibited conduct, investigate reports, and enforce the Community Rules;

Depending on your location and the purpose, privacy laws use grounds such as

performance of our contract, your consent, compliance with legal obligations,

protection of vital interests, and legitimate interests such as safety, fraud

prevention and securing the Service. Naming those grounds does not mean a

Cameroon data-protection authorization has been granted, and it is not a claim

that every processing activity has already been approved by a regulator.

This means your data leaves Cameroon. Contact privacy@tondimatch.com if you have

questions about that transfer. We may replace or add a processor after security,

privacy, contract and transfer review; material changes will appear in this

notice.

Recommendations and automated systems

Discovery ranking uses the city you chose and the distance band it produces,

the preferences and filters you set, activity such as likes and passes, how

recently you were last active, intentions and languages you share with the

other person, whether you both have roots in the same area, and whether you

have completed selfie verification.

Paying changes placement, and we will not pretend otherwise. A purchased

Spotlight lifts you higher in other members' Discover for the length of that

placement. It does not change who you see, and it cannot put you in front of

someone who blocked you, someone whose filters exclude you, or anyone at all

if your profile is incomplete — those checks run before ranking and a payment

does not affect them. Outside a Spotlight window, nobody's placement is

affected by money.

We do not infer race, health, religion, wealth or sexuality from photos or

behaviour. Automated filters may flag scams, spam or possible rule violations;

a person reads reports and makes high-impact account decisions. Automated

results can be wrong. You can change key preferences, and you can appeal a

qualifying account decision by writing to support@tondimatch.com.

Face and identity verification

Verification means a moderator compared a live selfie to your profile photos.

It tells other members that the photos are probably of you. It does not mean a

person is honest, kind or safe. The selfie is deleted after that decision

unless a documented fraud investigation, appeal or legal obligation requires a

short exception. Government-ID verification is not part of ordinary use today.

How long we keep it

applies.

How long the kept items last. We do not keep them forever. Report evidence,

blocks made against you, and purchase records are held only for as long as the

purpose that justifies them lasts: report evidence and blocks until the safety

risk they document is spent, and purchase records for as long as store, tax,

accounting and dispute rules require. When that purpose ends we erase them on

the next scheduled deletion run. If you want to know whether we still hold

something about you, ask privacy@tondimatch.com and we will tell you.

Security

Traffic uses HTTPS. Date of birth is encrypted. Your email address is stored as

a keyed hash. Photos sit in private storage. No service can guarantee absolute

security. Report a suspected account compromise to privacy@tondimatch.com or

support@tondimatch.com.

If a breach of your personal data happens and it is likely to put you at risk,

we will tell you and the relevant authority without undue delay once we

understand what happened, and we will describe what was affected and what you

can do about it.

What you can do

Inside the app, under Profile → Your data and account:

your matches, your messages, the blocks you set, the reports you filed, and your

purchase records, as a single file. It includes your date of birth — that is the

one place it is ever shown, and only to you.

You can also correct profile fields in the app, withdraw optional profile

details by clearing them, and change notification permissions on your device.

Where applicable law gives you further rights — including Cameroon personal-data

law, GDPR / UK GDPR, Canadian or Australian privacy law, or a U.S. state

privacy law — you may ask us to access, correct, delete or port covered

information, withdraw consent, object to or restrict certain processing, or

request human review of a qualifying automated decision. We will verify

requests proportionately and will not discriminate because you asked. Email

privacy@tondimatch.com.

We aim to answer a rights request within 30 days of confirming who you are.

If a request is complex or you have sent several, we may need longer, and we

will tell you why before that first 30 days is up. If we refuse a request we

will say so and explain the reason. You may also complain to the relevant

privacy or consumer authority.

Children

This service is for adults. You must be 18 or over. We ask for your date of birth

at sign-up and refuse accounts under 18. If we learn that a minor has an

account, we will restrict it, preserve or report legally required evidence, and

delete information not needed for safety or law. If you believe a child is

using this service, report the profile — reports naming a minor are our highest

priority.

Language

These documents are published in English. The app is also offered in French.

Until a counsel-reviewed French legal text is published, this English notice is

the text we operate to, except where the mandatory law of your country requires

otherwise.

Changes

We may update this notice and will post the new version date. The version you

accepted is recorded when you create an account. We do not currently block

existing accounts until they re-accept a later version. For a material change

we will notify you in the app or by email where we have an address, and we will

ask for a new acceptance when the law requires it or when we choose to do so.
