At Shadi Krao, privacy is our cornerstone. We are committed to safeguarding your personal data, identity, and matrimonial search with absolute integrity and bank-grade security.
1. Information We Collect & Data Minimization
We enforce strict data minimization: we collect only the data necessary to verify authenticity and assist match discovery.
- Profile Demographics: Name, age, gender, city/country, career, education, living preferences, and family background.
- Identity Proof (CNIC/NICOP): Scans submitted strictly for manual Stage 1 & Stage 2 verification to eliminate fake profiles. Documents are stored in encrypted vaults accessible only to authorized safety officers.
- Guardian & Wali Details: Phone and relationship for family chaperone coordination.
- OAuth Data: Email address and name provided during Google sign-in.
2. Protection of Minors (Strict 18+ Age Restriction)
Shadi Krao is exclusively intended for adults aged 18 years or older seeking Nikkah/matrimony. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children or individuals under 18. Any account discovered to belong to a minor will be terminated immediately and all associated data permanently erased.
3. Pardah Photo Vault & Anti-Screenshot Protection
We recognize the sacred sensitivity of matrimonial photo sharing. Shadi Krao employs our proprietary Pardah Photo Vault:
- Strict Server-Side Photo Protection: Profile pictures are never served with client-side CSS blur filters that can be bypassed in browser inspection tools. Unauthorized visitors only receive a protected avatar placeholder until you explicitly grant photo access.
- Protected Image Watermarking: Approved images are served with dynamic viewer watermarks to deter unauthorized redistribution.
- Mutual Consent Unlocks: Photos and phone numbers are disclosed only after mutual match approval by both parties and family chaperones.
4. Third-Party SDK & Google OAuth Data Policy
Shadi Krao integrates Firebase (for push notifications) and Google OAuth strictly for authentication.
- No Advertising Trackers: We do not use third-party ad networks or sell your behavioral data.
- No AI Model Training: Your private data is never used to train public LLMs or machine learning models.
