NikahForever gives you control over who can see your photos and phone number, allows you to hide your profile from people in your contacts, and lets you block profiles you do not want to interact with. If a profile appears fake, misleading or inappropriate, you can report it anonymously. The NikahForever team then reviews the account and takes necessary action based on its findings. 

These NikahForever privacy and safety controls are designed to help Muslims search for a life partner without giving every profile unrestricted access to their personal information.

Why Do Privacy and Safety Matter on a Muslim Matrimony App?

A matrimony profile often contains more personal information than an ordinary social media account. It may include your photographs, age, location, profession, family details and marriage preferences. 

This information helps potential matches understand whether they may be compatible with you. However, you should still be able to decide who can access sensitive information such as your photographs and phone number. 

Privacy controls are one part of building trust on a matrimony app. NikahForever also uses mobile authentication, AI-powered image screening, selfie verification and optional document checks to identify suspicious profiles. Read our blog on How NikahForever Verifies Profiles to understand the complete verification process.

Who Can See Your Profile, and How Can You Control It?

Your basic profile information helps NikahForever recommend relevant matches. However, your photographs and phone number do not have to be visible to every user who comes across your profile.

Control Who Can See Your Photos

NikahForever’s photo privacy settings allow you to keep your profile photographs blurred. 

When your photos are blurred, another user can send you a photo-view request. You can review their profile and decide whether you want to accept or decline the request. Your unblurred photos are shared only with profiles you choose to approve. 

This allows you to explore potential matches without making your photographs immediately visible to everyone on the app. 

Your photo remains under your control until you decide that you are comfortable sharing it.

Decide Who Can See Your Phone Number

You can also choose to keep your phone number hidden on NikahForever. 
Your number is not automatically made available to every user viewing your profile. You decide which profiles you want to share it with, allowing you to first understand whether a match is relevant before taking the conversation outside the app. 

Keeping your number private can also reduce unsolicited calls and messages from profiles you do not wish to interact with.

Hide Your Profile From People in Your Contacts

You may be comfortable using a matrimony app but may not want certain relatives, colleagues or acquaintances to come across your profile. 

NikahForever allows you to block contacts who may also have an account on the app. Once blocked, those contacts will not be able to view your profile on NikahForever. 

This feature gives you greater discretion while searching for a marriage partner

Block a Profile You Do Not Want to Interact With

If you no longer want to see or interact with a particular profile, you can block it. 

Once a profile is blocked, you and the blocked user will no longer be able to see each other’s profiles on NikahForever. Blocking therefore changes the experience for both users and prevents further profile visibility between them. 

Blocking and reporting are two separate actions:
● Block a profile: when you no longer want to interact with the user.
● Report a profile: when you believe it may be fake, misleading, inappropriate or misusing the platform.
 
Reporting someone does not automatically block their profile. If you want to report an account and stop seeing it, you should use both controls.


What Happens After You Report Someone?

You should report a profile if you notice: 

● Fake or inconsistent information 
● Photographs that may belong to someone else 
● Suspected impersonation 
● Requests for money or sensitive information 
● Inappropriate or abusive communication 
● Misleading personal details 
● Suspicious behaviour 
● Any apparent misuse of NikahForever 

When you report someone on NikahForever, the report is anonymous. The person will not be told who reported them. 

The reported profile is sent to the NikahForever team for review. The team examines the account and the reason it was reported to determine whether it contains fake or misleading information or violates the platform’s guidelines. 

A report does not mean that an account is automatically removed. The profile is reviewed first, and necessary action is taken based on what the review finds. 

If an account is found to be fake, misleading or misusing the platform, NikahForever takes strict action against it.


How Do We Handle Your Data?

NikahForever collects the information required to create your profile, operate the platform, recommend relevant matrimonial matches and provide privacy and safety features. 

Depending on how you use the app, this may include: 

● Profile and personal information 
● Contact details 
● Photographs 
● Marriage and match preferences 
● Location information, where permission is provided 
● Verification information 
● Information submitted while reporting a concern 

This information may be used to manage your account, improve match recommendations, verify profiles, detect suspicious activity, investigate reports and provide customer support. 

Your information is not necessarily visible in the same way to everyone. Your selected profile privacy settings determine whether other users can view protected information such as your unblurred photographs and phone number. 

NikahForever may also use authorised service providers where required to operate the platform or comply with applicable legal obligations. Users should read the NikahForever Privacy Policy for complete information about how their data is collected and used.

When you delete your NikahForever account, your profile and associated account information are permanently deleted from the system. Your profile is no longer visible to other users, and NikahForever does not continue storing the deleted user’s data.


How Are Complaints Resolved?

Blocking and reporting are designed for concerns involving another profile. For broader privacy, safety or account-related concerns, users can contact the NikahForever support team. 

When a complaint is received, the team reviews the information provided and examines the relevant account or issue. The user may be asked to provide additional details if they are required to understand or investigate the complaint properly. 

If the review finds that a profile is fake, contains misleading information or is misusing the platform, strict action is taken against the account. 

We are constantly improving our privacy and safety features so you can search for a match with greater confidence and control.
