JANESDIARY MATCHMAKING NETWORK
Last Updated: September 2026
At Janesdiary Matchmaking Network, privacy and discretion are fundamental to the way we provide our matchmaking services.
We understand that professional matchmaking may require clients and prospective clients to share personal, private and sometimes sensitive information.
This Privacy Policy explains how Janesdiary Matchmaking Network collects, uses, stores, shares and protects personal information provided through our website, WhatsApp, email, telephone conversations, matchmaking community and other authorised communication channels.
By using our website, contacting us or submitting information for matchmaking purposes, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Some of this information may be sensitive personal data under applicable privacy law and will be handled accordingly.
2. VERIFICATION INFORMATION
Where verification is required, we may request information or documentation such as:
• Government-issued identification
• Proof of employment or professional information
• Business information
• Social media information where voluntarily supplied
• Other documentation reasonably required for verification
Additional verification requirements may apply depending on the client’s membership level or circumstances.
Verification documents are collected for legitimate matchmaking, identity-verification and safety purposes.
3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
Information collected by Janesdiary may be used to:
• Assess matchmaking eligibility
• Create and maintain your matchmaking profile
• Understand your relationship preferences
• Conduct compatibility assessments
• Identify potentially suitable matches
• Facilitate introductions
• Verify identity or submitted information
• Communicate with you about your membership

• Improve subsequent matchmaking searches
• Maintain the integrity and security of our network
• Process enquiries, payments and administrative matters
• Comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not use personal information for purposes unrelated to our services without an appropriate legal basis or permission where required.
4. HOW MATCHMAKING INFORMATION IS SHARED
YOUR PROFILE IS NOT A PUBLIC DIRECTORY.
Joining Janesdiary does not mean that your complete personal information becomes publicly available.
When considering a potential introduction, we may share selected profile information with another eligible individual where reasonably necessary to determine mutual interest and compatibility.
We aim to disclose only information appropriate to that stage of the matchmaking process.
Personal contact information is generally shared when an introduction has progressed to the appropriate stage.
Certain information may be withheld until further mutual interest or verification has been established.
5. YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS
Photographs submitted for private matchmaking are used primarily for matchmaking assessment and potential introductions.
We will not intentionally use a member’s private photographs for unrelated advertising, promotional materials, testimonials or public social-media content without appropriate permission.
Members must also respect the confidentiality of photographs received during introductions.
6. IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS
Identification documents provided for verification are treated as confidential information.
They are used for legitimate verification, compliance and safety purposes and should not ordinarily be shared with potential matches.
Access should be restricted to authorised persons who reasonably require the information for the relevant purpose.
7. CONFIDENTIALITY
Janesdiary takes reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect information entrusted to us.
However, no electronic communication, online platform or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Clients are therefore also encouraged to exercise appropriate caution when communicating electronically and when interacting with introduced individuals.
8. INFORMATION SHARED WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS
We may use reputable third-party service providers to support areas such as:
• Website hosting
• Email communication
• Payment processing
• Data storage
• Security
• Business administration
• Communication platforms
• Verification services
Where personal information is processed by service providers on our behalf, we seek to use appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable privacy requirements.
9. WHATSAPP, TELEGRAM, EMAIL & THIRD-PARTY PLATFORMS
Janesdiary communicates through services including WhatsApp, Telegram and email.
These services operate independently and may process information according to their own privacy policies.
Members should avoid posting highly confidential personal information inside community spaces unless specifically required through an authorised private communication channel.
Participation in any Janesdiary community does not authorise another member to copy, distribute or misuse your personal information.
10. INTERNATIONAL MATCHMAKING & DATA TRANSFERS
International matchmaking may involve individuals located in different countries.
Where appropriate and permitted, selected matchmaking information may therefore be shared with potential matches or service providers outside Nigeria.
Where international transfers of personal data occur, Janesdiary will seek to handle such transfers in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.
11. DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for:
• Providing matchmaking services
• Maintaining membership and matchmaking records
• Resolving disputes or complaints
• Meeting legitimate business requirements
• Fulfilling applicable legal, regulatory, tax or accounting obligations
Different categories of information may require different retention periods.
When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be securely deleted, anonymised or otherwise disposed of as appropriate.
12. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Subject to applicable law and relevant exceptions, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:
• Request access to certain personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion in appropriate circumstances
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Withdraw consent where processing depends upon consent
• Raise concerns regarding how your information is handled
Certain information may need to be retained where required by law or where another lawful basis for retention applies.
13. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY
Privacy is a shared responsibility.
Members who receive another person’s information through Janesdiary must treat that information respectfully and confidentially.
You must not, without appropriate permission:
• Publish another member’s profile
• Circulate their photographs
• Distribute their telephone number
• Share private conversations
• Publish identifying information obtained through matchmaking
• Use matchmaking information for commercial or unrelated purposes
Misuse of another member’s information may result in suspension or termination of membership and other appropriate action.
14. CHILDREN
Janesdiary Matchmaking Network is intended for adults seeking serious relationships and marriage.
We do not knowingly provide matchmaking membership to persons under 18 years of age.
15. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
Where permitted, we may occasionally send information about Janesdiary services, membership opportunities, events or relevant announcements.
Recipients may request to stop receiving non-essential promotional communications.
Operational messages relating to an active membership or requested service may still be sent where necessary.
16. COOKIES & WEBSITE TECHNOLOGY
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for functionality, security, analytics and improving visitor experience.
Where required by applicable law, visitors will be provided with appropriate information or choices regarding non-essential cookies.
17. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services, technology, business practices or applicable legal requirements.
The updated version will be published on our website with a revised Last Updated date.
