Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Faithara handles information in the current app. It describes practices that are implemented today. It does not promise features that are still deferred.
Who we are
Faithara is a Christian dating app focused on serious relationships. This policy applies to the Faithara mobile application and related authentication services used by the app.
Account and profile information
When you create an account, Faithara processes your email address and password through our authentication provider.
Profile details you provide may include display name, age confirmation, city/region, faith and relationship preferences, lifestyle answers, and story prompts. Stored preference values use stable codes; labels are shown in your interface language.
Photos
If you upload profile photos, Faithara stores them in private cloud storage associated with your account and shows them to eligible members according to discovery and match rules.
You can add, replace, set a primary photo, or remove photos in the app. Removing your last qualifying photo can take your profile out of discovery until another saved photo is available.
Location-related data
Faithara uses city and region information you enter for profile and discovery context. The current app does not continuously track GPS location in the background.
Matches, messages, and safety signals
Faithara processes likes, passes, matches, and messages so you can connect with other members.
Reports, blocks, unmatches, discovery pause, and account-status signals are processed to support safety and account controls.
Verification-related data
Faithara may show verification-related indicators such as email confirmation status. Photo or identity verification indicators may appear when available; they do not guarantee safety.
Notifications
With your permission, Faithara may register a device push token to deliver match, message, or account-related alerts. You can adjust notification preferences in Account and safety. Signing out unlinks the local push token from this device.
Operational data
Faithara uses operational services needed to run the product, such as authentication, database, and file storage providers. The mobile app uses a public client key and does not embed a service-role secret.
Faithara does not currently operate a separate advertising analytics stack in the app beyond what is required to provide core features.
Account deletion requests
You may request account deletion in Account and safety. When a request is recorded, Faithara pauses discovery and hides your profile from discovery. Full permanent erasure is handled as a server-side process and is not completed instantly from the device alone.
Requesting deletion is different from signing out. Signing out ends the session on this device without submitting a deletion request.
Retention
Information is retained while your account is active and as needed to operate matching, messaging, and safety features. After a deletion request, data remains until the server-side removal process completes according to Faithara’s operational and safety obligations.
Contact
Use the Support page at /faithara/support for guidance on privacy questions, safety tools, and deletion requests. The same guidance is also available from the Support screen in Faithara.
Public account deletion steps are published at /faithara/delete-account.
