Last updated: 9/7/2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Rishta (“we,” “our,” “the platform”) collects, uses, and protects the information you provide when you use rishta.applykrdo.com (the “Site”).

1. Information We Collect

When you register or use the Site, we may collect:

  • Account information: name, email address, phone number, date of birth, gender.
  • Profile information: city, country, sect, education, profession, marital status, family details, and photos you choose to upload.
  • Usage information: pages visited, search filters used, and general interaction data collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies.
  • Communication data: messages exchanged through the platform’s contact or inquiry features, and correspondence with our support team.

We only collect what is needed to operate a matchmaking service and do not request information unrelated to that purpose.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used to:

  • Create and maintain your profile.
  • Allow other verified users to search and view profiles based on the filters you match.
  • Improve the relevance of search results and site features.
  • Respond to support requests and investigate reported profiles.
  • Send account-related notifications (registration confirmation, security alerts, service updates).

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Cookies and Advertising

The Site uses cookies to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how the Site is used. We also work with third-party advertising partners, including Google, which may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

  • You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies is governed separately by Google’s own policies. You may review your ad settings at Google’s Ads Settings page.
  • Third-party vendors, including Google, may show ads on the Site based on prior visits to this or other websites.

4. Sharing of Information

We may share information only in the following circumstances:

  • With other registered users, limited to the profile details you have chosen to make visible.
  • With service providers who help us operate the Site (hosting, analytics, security) under confidentiality obligations.
  • When required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights and safety of our users.

5. Data Security

We apply reasonable technical and administrative safeguards to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we encourage users to also protect their own account credentials.

6. Your Choices and Rights

You may:

  • Edit or update your profile information at any time from your account settings.
  • Control which profile details are visible to other users.
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting our support team.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
