Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Taqdeer is a private Muslim introductions service for marriage-minded individuals. We are committed to handling your personal information with discretion, care, and respect. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we may share it, how long we keep it, and your rights.
2. Who We Are
Taqdeer is operated by Insia and Behjat. For privacy queries, please contact us at contact@taqdeer.co.uk. For the purposes of UK data protection law, we are the controller of the personal information you provide to us.
3. Information We Collect
We may collect personal information when you register yourself, refer someone else, contact us, use our website, speak with a Taqdeer consultant, accept an introduction, or make a payment. This may include your name, age, gender, location, email address, telephone number, WhatsApp number, education, occupation, family background, photographs, marital intentions, preferences, and any information you choose to share about what you are seeking in a life partner.
4. Sensitive Information
Because Taqdeer is a Muslim introductions service, some information you provide may relate to faith, religious practice, ethnicity, cultural background, family circumstances, marital history, or personal preferences. Some of this may be considered sensitive or special category data under UK data protection law. We only collect this information where it is relevant to the introductions process and where you choose to provide it. The ICO identifies religious belief and racial or ethnic origin as special category data, so this information must be handled carefully.
5. Criminal Offence & Safety-Related Information
In limited circumstances, we may ask you to confirm whether you are currently subject to any unspent criminal conviction, injunction, restraining order, non-molestation order, safeguarding concern, police bail condition, court order, or legal restriction that may affect your suitability for introductions. We collect this only where relevant to safety, suitability, legal compliance, or protecting others using the Taqdeer service. Criminal offence data receives extra protection under UK GDPR, so this information will be handled carefully and only where necessary.
6. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to review registrations, understand your intentions, contact you, manage your profile within our private database, consider suitable introductions, share selected information where there is genuine potential and mutual consent, manage payments, provide consultant support, improve our service, protect users, and comply with legal obligations.
7. Referrals
If someone refers you to Taqdeer, they may provide us with your name, approximate age, gender, contact details, and the reason they believe you may be suitable for Taqdeer. We will contact you directly before progressing your registration. You are under no obligation to proceed.
9. Payments
If an introduction is mutually accepted, payment may be processed through a third-party payment provider. We do not store your full payment card details. Payment providers process your payment information according to their own privacy and security standards.
10. Marketing
We may send you updates about Taqdeer where you have opted in or where we are permitted to do so. You can unsubscribe or ask us to stop marketing communications at any time.
11. How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. If you ask to be removed from our private network, we will delete or anonymise your profile unless we need to keep certain information for legal, accounting, safety, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or regulatory reasons.
12. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information. However, no online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please avoid sharing highly sensitive information through insecure channels.
13. Your Rights
You may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to our use of your personal information. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. To exercise your rights, contact us at contact@taqdeer.co.uk.
15. Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we handle your personal information, please contact us first so we can try to resolve the matter. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
16. Changes To This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on our website.
