Privacy.

Last updated: August 22, 2026.

Ask A Bestie collects information you choose to share with us so we can review your application, communicate with you, understand what you are looking for, and provide matchmaking services.

What we collect

This may include your name, email, phone number, location, date of birth, gender identity, relationship preferences, answers to application questions, photos, communications with your Bestie, and information you voluntarily share during interviews or while using the service.

Identity verification

We do not ask you to upload government ID images through this website form. If we move forward with your application, identity verification may be handled through a secure third-party verification provider. That provider may collect information directly from you under its own privacy terms.

How we use your information

We use information to review applications, communicate with you, provide matchmaking services, evaluate potential introductions, help maintain safety, improve our service, and comply with legal obligations.

Sharing

We may share limited information with potential matches when needed to facilitate an introduction. We do not sell your personal information. We may use service providers that help us operate the website, process forms, communicate with members, verify identity, or provide other business functions.

Photos and dating information

Information you share for matchmaking can be personal. We use it only as reasonably necessary to operate the service and make introductions. You should not submit information you do not want us to review.

Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain business records, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the safety and integrity of the service.

Your choices

You may ask us to update or delete information we hold about you, subject to legal or operational requirements. Before launch, replace this paragraph with the business email address you want members to use for privacy requests.

Important

This starter privacy policy is provided as website copy and is not legal advice. Because Ask A Bestie handles dating, identity-verification, photos and potentially sensitive personal information, have a qualified attorney review this policy before accepting paying members.
