Data security

Here's exactly how your data is protected.

Not "we take security seriously" — the actual standards we build to, stated plainly.

In one sentence

We don't sell your personal information. Ever. To anyone.

How data moves and where it sits

In transit: every connection to Ittefaq is encrypted over HTTPS/TLS — the padlock in your browser bar, no exceptions.

At rest: our platform is built to store sensitive data — identity documents, license numbers, private messages — using AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by major financial institutions.

Passwords: never stored in plain text. Hashed and salted using modern standards (bcrypt or equivalent) — not even our own team can see your actual password.

Verification documents: government ID and license documents are stored separately from your public profile data and are never shown to other members.

What you control

Delete your account and your data, at any time, from your account settings — no phone call or support ticket required.

Request a copy of everything we hold about you.

Control exactly who sees your photo, and when — blurred until you personally approve a reveal.

Browse anonymously without appearing in anyone's visitor list.

Data minimization

We only collect what's actually needed to verify your identity and credentials and to help you find a match — not location tracking, not unnecessary device data, not information sold or shared with advertisers.

An honest note on where we are right now

Ittefaq is pre-launch. The standards above are what our platform is being engineered to meet before real member data is ever collected — not a retroactive claim about an existing system. Once live, we'll publish confirmation of these measures rather than asking you to take our word for it.
