How We Use Your Information
We use your information to run Ihappydate, connect you with compatible people and keep the community safe. You stay in control of what appears on your dating profile.
- Run your account: sign you in, save your settings and keep your profile working.
- Suggest matches: use your quiz answers to show people who fit what you want.
- Keep people safe: use moderation and verification-style profile checks to spot fake, spammy or faceless accounts.
- Help you: reply to support requests and reports.
- Improve Ihappydate: learn which features help people and fix what doesn’t.
If something feels weird or spammy, tell us. Reports are how safe dating apps stay safe.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored on your device. Essential cookies keep you signed in and remember your choices, so the site can’t work properly without them. Analytics cookies help us see which pages and features people use, so we can make the experience smoother.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you turn off essential cookies, some parts of Ihappydate may not work as expected.
When We Share Data
Your matches see only what you choose to show on your profile, and we don’t share your personal information beyond that unless one of the cases below applies.
- Service providers: companies that help us run Ihappydate and act on our behalf under our instructions.
- Legal requirements: when the law requires us to respond to a valid request.
- Safety emergencies: when we believe someone may be in danger.
How We Keep Your Data Secure
We protect your data with encrypted connections, limits on who can access it and ongoing monitoring for unusual activity. No system is 100% secure, so we can’t promise perfect protection, but we work to reduce risk every day.
You can help too: use a strong, unique password and meet new people in public places. More habits are in our safe dating apps tips.
