SHADCHAN AI PRIVACY POLICY

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8/8/2026

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the information you provide through our website, guided intake process, SAI Number system, compatibility report tools, communications, and related services.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, how report-related information is handled, and the choices you may have regarding your information.

What ShadchanAI Does

ShadchanAI is a structured compatibility intelligence and decision-support platform for shidduch review. The service is designed to collect structured intake information, create completed profile records, issue reusable SAI Numbers, and generate compatibility reports when two completed profiles are compared.

ShadchanAI helps turn surface-level profile or resume information into structured compatibility insight, including report outputs related to alignment, potential concerns, shidduch block status, confidence level, category summaries, detailed analysis, and practical discussion points.

We are not an online dating service, matchmaking service, introduction platform, referral service, public profile directory, searchable member database, or communication service between individuals.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

A. Information You Provide Directly

This may include:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • City, State, and Country
  • Date of birth and, if submitted, other birth-related details
  • Profile and guided intake information
  • Family, lifestyle, personality, emotional, communication, relationship, and preference-related information
  • Religious, hashkafah, community, and home-building background information
  • Marriage vision, family expectations, children-related expectations, practical lifestyle expectations, and dealbreaker information
  • Uploaded resumes, profiles, and related materials
  • Any other information you choose to submit

B. SAI Number and Comparison-Related Information

When you use our comparison features, we may process:

  • Your SAI Number
  • Another SAI Number that you provide and are authorized to submit
  • The completed profile records associated with those SAI Numbers
  • Compatibility report outputs generated from those profiles
  • Overall compatibility scores, confidence scores, shidduch block status, category summaries, detailed report analysis, strengths, concerns, and discussion points
  • Requests or interactions related to a compatibility report

C. Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain technical data such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Device information
  • Pages visited
  • Date and time of access
  • Basic usage, performance, security, and analytics data

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, analytics tools, tracking pixels, or similar technologies to operate the website, improve user experience, analyze usage, protect the platform, maintain security, and support basic website functionality.

You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings. If we use cookies or analytics tools that require consent under applicable law, we may provide a separate cookie notice, cookie banner, or consent tool.

How We Use Information

We may use the information we collect to:

  • Create and maintain profile, resume, or intake records
  • Assign, store, and manage SAI Numbers
  • Process submitted profiles, resumes, guided intake responses, and related information
  • Generate compatibility reports and comparison-related analysis
  • Provide overall compatibility scores, confidence scores, shidduch block status, category summaries, detailed breakdowns, strengths, concerns, repair guidance, and practical discussion points
  • Operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the platform
  • Communicate with users about their accounts, reports, requests, support issues, or service updates
  • Protect the security and integrity of the platform
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Enforce our terms, policies, and platform rules

We use information only to the extent reasonably necessary to provide, protect, maintain, and support the service.

Automated Analysis and Report Generation

ShadchanAI may use automated analytical systems, structured decision-support logic, and AI-assisted tools to process submitted information and generate compatibility report outputs.

These outputs are intended to support thoughtful shidduch review by identifying alignment, potential concerns, shidduch block status, confidence level, and areas that may need clarification.

ShadchanAI does not make personal life decisions for users, does not guarantee outcomes, and does not replace human judgment, references, rabbinic guidance, professional advice, or careful human evaluation.

Report Privacy Controls and Specific Approval

Members may choose whether reports involving them are shared as full reports or as scores-only reports. With scores-only privacy selected, another person may see compatibility scores and a short summary, while written dimension findings, personality and pattern explanations, astrology and numerology explanations, and AI-generated narrative are withheld.

Written findings are not generated for a scores-only report until the member specifically approves the person requesting access. The approval is limited to that individual viewer and does not create general access to the member's information or report.

A member can approve or decline an access request through the platform and can revoke an approval later. Until approval is given, or if a request is declined, the requester continues to receive only the scores-only report output. We may process the request, approval, decline, and revocation records to operate these privacy controls and notify the people involved.

How We Share Information

A. No Sale of Personally Identifying Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade personally identifying information to third parties.

B. NO DISCLOSURE FOR DATING, MATCHMAKING, OR INTRODUCTIONS WITHOUT EXPLICIT CONSENT

We do not provide any user's personally identifying information to third parties for dating, matchmaking, introductions, referrals, browsing, candidate search, public profile discovery, or communication between individuals without the users explicit consent.

C. No Public Matching Database

ShadchanAI does not operate a public dating pool, searchable member directory or public profile database. SAI Numbers are used to support compatibility review between completed profiles, not to browse or search for candidates.

D. Limited Report Output

When two SAI Numbers are submitted for comparison, ShadchanAI may generate a compatibility report based on the completed profile records associated with those SAI Numbers. The report may include profile-derived compatibility insights, strengths, risks, areas of alignment, areas of concern, shidduch block status, confidence level, and discussion points.

This does not provide unrestricted access to another person's full profile, private account, raw intake data, contact information, or personally identifying information, except to the extent such information is already included in the materials submitted by the user or authorized for use in the report.

E. Service Providers

We may use trusted service providers or vendors who help us host, secure, maintain, analyze, communicate through, process payments for, or operate the platform. These providers may process information on our behalf under contractual confidentiality and data protection obligations.

F. Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required to do so by law, subpoena, court order, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, security, or the integrity of the platform.

User Responsibility for Submitted Information

Users are responsible for ensuring they have the right, permission, or appropriate authorization to submit any profile, resume, SAI Number, personal information, or related material to the platform.

Users should not submit information about another person unless they are authorized to do so or have a lawful basis for submitting that information.

Sensitive Information

The guided intake may include personal, family, religious, relationship, lifestyle, emotional, preference-related, and other sensitive information because these areas can be relevant to shidduch compatibility review.

We aim to handle sensitive information carefully. Preference-related information and other sensitive areas may be summarized broadly in report outputs when appropriate, with a focus on practical compatibility rather than unnecessary personal detail.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide the service
  • Maintain profile, SAI Number, and comparison functionality
  • Maintain compatibility report records where appropriate
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Resolve disputes
  • Enforce our policies
  • Protect the platform and prevent misuse

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or de-identify it, subject to legal, operational, security, and recordkeeping requirements.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

User Rights and Requests

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to request that we:

  • Confirm whether we process your personal data
  • Provide access to certain personal data
  • Correct inaccuracies
  • Delete certain personal data
  • Explain certain categories of collection, use, or sharing
  • Honor certain opt-out rights where applicable

To submit a privacy-related request, email us at support@shadchanai.com.

Accuracy of Submitted Information

Our analysis depends on the information submitted by users. We do not independently verify every fact, statement, or representation contained in a profile, resume, guided intake response, SAI Number submission, or other user-provided material unless expressly stated otherwise.

Users are responsible for the accuracy of information they provide.

Third-Party Links and Services

Our website or platform may contain links to third-party websites or tools. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party services not controlled by us.

Children's Privacy

Our platform is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. It is not directed to children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 18 through the public website.

If you believe information from a child under 18 has been provided to us in a manner not authorized by a parent or guardian, please contact us so we can review and address the issue.

SMS Messaging

The SMS messaging program consists of general conversational messaging to answer questions, provide support to customers, and communicate about user requests, account-related matters, intake-related matters, report-related matters, or service-related issues.

You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Just text STOP to the phone number from which you received messages. After you send the SMS message STOP to us, we will send you an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us.

If you are experiencing issues with the messaging program, you can reply with the keyword HELP for more assistance, or you can get help directly at support@shadchanai.com.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us and to us from you. Message frequency will vary based on communication needs. If you have any questions about your text plan or data plan, it is best to contact your wireless provider.

We do not sell or share SMS opt-in data or consent information with third parties for their marketing or promotional purposes.
